Blockchain Education That Actually Makes Sense

We started this because we kept meeting people who wanted to understand blockchain but got lost in technical jargon. Our programs focus on practical knowledge you can use, taught by people who actually work in the field.

Programs starting October 2025 and January 2026. We keep class sizes small—around 15 students per cohort—so everyone gets proper attention. Applications open in June 2025.

Three Ways to Learn

Different people need different approaches. Some want comprehensive training, others need specific skills. Pick what fits your schedule and goals.

Foundation Track

Start from scratch. We assume no technical background and build from there. This takes 16 weeks with evening sessions twice a week.

  • Blockchain basics without the complexity
  • Smart contract fundamentals
  • Security concepts everyone should know
  • Hands-on projects with real feedback

Developer Intensive

Already code? This gets you building on blockchain quickly. Full-time commitment for 12 weeks. We cover Solidity, testing, deployment—the works.

  • Solidity from basics to advanced patterns
  • Testing strategies that catch bugs early
  • Working with existing protocols
  • Build three deployable projects

Weekend Workshop Series

Can't commit to months of study? These standalone workshops cover specific topics. One weekend, one skill. Come to as many as you want.

  • NFT development workshop
  • DeFi protocol interaction
  • Wallet integration for apps
  • Security auditing basics

Learning by Building Real Things

Theory matters, but you really learn when you build. Each program includes projects that mirror what you'd face in actual work. You'll write code that does something, not just exercises from a textbook.

Last cohort built a supply chain tracker, a tokenized voting system, and a decentralized marketplace. Not perfect production apps, but functioning prototypes that proved they understood the concepts.

We provide development environments that work. No spending three days setting up before you can start learning. Just log in and code.

Small Groups, Direct Feedback

Big classes don't work for technical training. When someone's stuck, they need help right then, not three days later when they've already given up.

Our instructors work with 15 students maximum. You'll get your code reviewed, your questions answered, and honest feedback about what needs improvement. Sometimes that feedback's blunt, but it's always helpful.

Office hours twice a week, plus a discussion forum where both instructors and classmates can help. You're not learning alone.

Who Teaches This

All three work on blockchain projects during the day. They teach because they enjoy it and want more people in this field who actually know what they're doing.

Infrastructure & Security

Spent six years building backend systems before moving to blockchain. Now works on node infrastructure and teaches the Foundation Track. Known for explaining complex systems in ways that make sense.

Smart Contract Development

Leads the Developer Intensive. Has written contracts for DeFi protocols and knows where beginners typically mess up. Direct feedback style that some find challenging, but students say it works.

Integration & Consulting

Runs the Weekend Workshops. Helps companies integrate blockchain into existing systems, so she focuses on practical implementation rather than theory. Good at making complex topics approachable.

What Happens When

Here's how the 2025-2026 schedule looks. We run two Foundation cohorts and two Developer Intensives per year, plus monthly workshops.

June 2025

Applications Open

Submit your application for Fall cohorts. We ask about your background and what you want to learn. No entrance exam, but we do want to know you're serious about this.

August 2025

Pre-Program Setup

Accepted students get access to setup materials and initial resources. We help you get your development environment configured before classes start, so you don't waste the first week on installation problems.

October 2025

Fall Cohort Begins

Both Foundation Track and Developer Intensive start. First weekend workshop happens mid-month. This is when the real work begins—expect to spend 15-20 hours per week outside of class time.

December 2025

Mid-Program Projects

Developer Intensive students present first major projects. Foundation Track students complete fundamentals section and move into practical application. Two-week break for holidays.

January 2026

Winter Cohort Starts

Second round of programs begins. We also schedule extra workshops based on what previous students said they wanted to learn more about. Schedule adjusts based on what actually worked.
