Binance Academy and BNB Chain introduce innovative developer training program

Binance Academy, the arm of Binance dedicated to cryptocurrency education, has teamed up with BNB Chain, the largest layer-1 blockchain platform, to introduce an innovative online course titled BNB Chain Developer Specialization, according to the information shared with Finbold on March 25.

The aim of the initiative is to provide new Web3 software with the skills necessary to foster growth in the realms of Web3, cryptocurrency, and technology.

The program is a result of the growing demand for proficient Web3 developers and a desire to cultivate a larger pool of talent capable of driving innovation within the industry.

No prior knowledge of any of the blockchain fundamentals is necessary, and the course is entirely free of charge.

The organization of the program

Twenty courses, all delivered in English, feature a curated selection of two to six videos delving into a diverse array of topics ranging from foundational blockchain concepts to more advanced topics such as smart contracts, solidity, Web3, decentralized applications (DApps), decentralized finance (DeFi), Greenfield architecture, and more.

Learning materials are curated to engage participants and pitching of ideas, incorporating a blend of video lectures, readings, practice assessments, and graded evaluations.

Web3 democratization

The overarching objective is to democratize Web3 adoption by educating participants on the intricacies of developing advanced Web3 apps on the blockchain.

BNB Chain sees the initiative as part of its portfolio of builder support programs, with the dual purpose of empowering individuals to explore Web3 development and work on improving existing skills.

Having successfully completed the course, participants will be awarded a digital certificate, testifying to their newfound expertise and potentially opening doors to more opportunities within the industry.

Yi He, Co-Founder of Binance, emphasized the pivotal role of education in propelling the growth and adoption of blockchain and Web3 technologies, stating:

“Blockchain and Web3 are setting a precedent in innovations across industries around the world. Education is critical to further development and adoption, and it provides new opportunities for individuals as these technologies shape our future and the global economy. We prioritize making education accessible, which is a core part of our user-focused principles and mission to increase financial accessibility and sustainable innovation as an industry leader supporting the growth of the larger ecosystem. With this specialized blockchain developer program, we hope to encourage and support more people to be part of building the future of these new technologies set to change our society and revolutionize industries.”

BNB Chain has emerged as a formidable blockchain entity, boasting unparalleled popularity and efficacy.

With opBNB ranking as the foremost blockchain platform by daily active users (71 million transactions daily at an average cost of $0.001), and BNB Smart Chain (BSC) reigning as the premier L1 blockchain by the same metrics (a total locked value surpassing $4 billion), the platform has solidified its status as a community-driven blockchain ecosystem of paramount importance.

The collaboration with BNB Chain thus marks a significant addition to Binance Academys portfolio of global educational initiatives such as Learn & Earn campaigns and the University Outreach Program.

At the same time, it complements BNB Chains efforts to support builders through programs such as the Most Valuable Builder (MVB) program and grants like the TVL and DAU Incentive programs.

Together, the initiatives welcome millions into the digital economy and foster innovation at every turn.
