The largest layer-1 blockchain by user count, BNB Chain, and Binance Academy, the crypto learning hub of Binance, have teamed to launch a new online course called “BNB Chain Developer Specialization“*. The course’s goal is to give aspiring Web3 software developers the tools they need to promote growth in the Web3, cryptocurrency, and technology sectors.
The program was created to enable more individuals to arm themselves with the skills necessary to continue developing for the Web3 industry and in response to the spike in demand for qualified Web3 developers. It is entirely free for anybody who wants to learn and doesn’t need any previous understanding of the principles of blockchain technology.
There are twenty courses in the program, all taught in English. A range of subjects, including Blockchain Basics, BNB Chain, Smart Contracts, Solidity, Web3, Decentralized Applications (DApps), Oracles, DeFi, BEP-20 tokens, Greenfield architecture, and more, are covered in each of the two to six video courses.
A range of interesting learning resources, including readings, practice tests, projects, and graded exams, are used to conduct the program.
The team behind the course, which is made up of members of the BNB Chain community, said that by teaching people how to develop cutting-edge Web3 apps on the blockchain, they want to contribute to the widespread adoption of Web3. BNB Chain is expanding its builder support program portfolio to include this educational program. This will enable anyone to start developing Web3 applications or advance their current blockchain knowledge and skills while laying the groundwork for developing BNB Chain applications.
Participants will get a digital certificate upon successfully completing the course, attesting to the information they have gained and maybe opening doors to new possibilities in the quickly growing blockchain sector.
Binance Co-Founder Yi He said:
“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 shown over the last few years to be more and more successful in the blockchain space. As of right now, BNB Chain has solidified its position as a top community-driven blockchain ecosystem. opBNB is the top blockchain by daily active users (DAU), processing 71 million daily transactions at an average cost of $0.001. BNB Smart Chain (BSC) is the top L1 blockchain by DAU, with a total locked value of over $4 billion.
This partnership with BNB Chain expands on Binance Academy’s current global education programs, which include the University Outreach Program, Learn & Earn campaigns, and the regular release of freely accessible multimedia educational content. Together, they create an all-inclusive system that assists millions of people in entering the digital economy. It also complements BNB Chain’s builder assistance programs, which already include Kickstart, grants like the TVL and DAU Incentive programs, and the Most Valuable Builder (MVB) program.
*Note that the “BNB Chain Developer Specialization” course will be accessible beginning on Friday, March 22 at 9:00 a.m. UTC.
