Binance Academy, the educational arm of the leading cryptocurrency exchange, Binance, has recently collaborated with BNB Chain to launch a new online course for aspiring developers. The BNB Chain Development Education Programme is a free training that does not require any prior development experience. It seeks to provide learners with the skills needed to shape the future of Web3. The course addresses Binance Academy’s growing need for qualified blockchain developers.
The new programme includes 20 courses, each with a maximum of six videos. It delves into smart contracts, the BNB Chain, blockchain basics, decentralized finance (DeFi), oracles, decentralized applications (dApps), Web3, tokenization, and more. In addition to the videos, students can access reading materials, practice projects to test their skills, and graded quizzes to determine their comprehension. Users will receive a digital certificate upon completing the course.
A team of BNB Chain members developed the course. In its comments, the team stated its aims to promote blockchain adoption by providing knowledge and tools to anyone interested in building on the blockchain.
Commenting on the latest development, Yi He, Co-founder of Binance, said:
It’s a timely initiative as blockchain and Web3 have permeated every other industry globally. Despite all the advancements, education remains the central tenet of fostering long-lasting adoption and providing new opportunities for everyone.
He added:
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 want to encourage and help more people to be part of building the future of these new technologies that are set to change our society and revolutionize industries.
The online course is the BNB Chain community’s latest initiative to promote continuing growth and adoption. The company has staked its claim to the blockchain throne with the most unique active addresses. opBNB, the network’s Layer 2 scaling solution, has the most daily active users and processes more than 70 million transactions at an average cost of $0.001. DeFi also thrives on the BNB Chain, with a total locked value of over $4 billion.
Binance Academy, launched in 2018, serves millions of learners worldwide in over 30 languages. The company’s educational initiatives include the Learn and Earn programme, the University Outreach Programme, the Student Ambassador Programme, partnerships with leading online learning platforms, professional associations, and industry alliances. It aims to accelerate digital asset adoption and help individuals navigate the world of Web3 by making blockchain knowledge available to everyone. The platform works with numerous educational platforms, colleges, governments, and online learning projects to create new curricula, webinars, and workshops for millions globally.
