Binance Academy Teams Up with BNB Chain to Introduce a Tailored Developer Education Program
Main Takeaways
Binance Academy and BNB Chain have partnered to launch a new BNB Chain Developer Specialization, a free program aimed at preparing software developers to work in the Web3 and blockchain industry that doesn’t require prior knowledge of blockchain fundamentals.
The program consists of twenty English-language courses covering topics from smart contracts to Solidity development and offers a digital certificate upon completion.
This initiative bolsters both Binance Academy’s education efforts and BNB Chain's builder support programs, contributing to both platforms' goals of driving mass Web3 adoption, building, and empowering individuals in the digital economy.
Binance Academy, our crypto education platform, has partnered with BNB Chain, the largest layer-1 blockchain by user count, to launch a new BNB Chain Developer Specialization, a program designed to prepare software developers to build in the Web3 and blockchain industry. The program requires no prior knowledge of blockchain fundamentals and is offered completely free of charge.
The program consists of twenty English-language courses, each featuring between two and six videos. The topics covered include Blockchain Basics, BNB Chain, Smart Contracts, Solidity, Web3, Decentralized Applications (DApps), Oracles, DeFi, BEP-20 Tokens, Greenfield architecture, among others. The specialization utilizes a variety of engaging learning materials, project work, and graded assessments.
Upon successful completion of the course, participants will receive a digital certificate, acknowledging their acquired knowledge and hopefully serving as a gateway to new opportunities in the rapidly expanding blockchain industry.
Learning to Build For Mass Adoption
The goal of this effort is to help bring mass Web3 adoption by helping more people become builders on the blockchain. BNB Chain is adding this education program to its suite of builder support programs that empower individuals to either kick-start their journey in Web3 development or improve their knowledge and skills by getting a solid foundation in BNB Chain development.
Binance Co-Founder Yi He highlighted the critical role of education in driving Web3 adoption and development: “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.”
Over the past few years, the BNB Chain ecosystem has seen tremendous growth. With opBNB now ranking as the top blockchain by daily active users (DAU) and processing 71 million daily transactions at an average cost of $0.001, alongside BNB Smart Chain (BSC) leading as the number one L1 blockchain by DAU and boasting a total locked value exceeding $4 billion, BNB Chain has firmly established itself as a leading community-driven blockchain ecosystem.
This collaboration with BNB Chain adds to Binance Academy’s existing global education initiatives such as the regular publication of freely accessible multimedia educational content, Learn & Earn campaigns, and the University Outreach Program, creating an all-inclusive system that helps millions of people join the digital economy. In addition, it adds to BNB Chain’s builder support initiatives, which include the Most Valuable Builder (MVB) program, grants such as the TVL and DAU Incentive programs, and Kickstart.
