Learn Blockchain Without The Hype

We started teaching blockchain in 2018 when most people thought it was just about Bitcoin. Six years later, we're still here—because we focus on the fundamentals that actually matter. Our students learn how distributed systems work, not how to get rich quick.

How Our Program Actually Works

Most people think blockchain is complicated. And yeah, parts of it are. But you don't need a computer science degree to understand how it works. You just need someone to explain it properly.

01

Foundation Level

We start with how data gets stored and verified. No crypto talk yet—just the basic principles of distributed systems that you'll need later.

  • Data structures and hashing
  • Peer-to-peer networks
  • Consensus basics
  • Cryptographic principles
02

Blockchain Mechanics

Here's where we actually build a simple blockchain. Not with fancy frameworks—with plain code so you see what's happening under the hood.

  • Block creation and linking
  • Mining and validation
  • Transaction processing
  • Network propagation
03

Smart Contracts

Writing code that runs on a blockchain. We use Solidity because it's what most projects use, but we also talk about why it's designed the way it is.

  • Solidity fundamentals
  • Contract deployment
  • Security considerations
  • Testing strategies
04

Building Applications

Taking what you've learned and actually building something. Most students create a simple DApp—nothing fancy, but functional.

  • Web3 integration
  • Frontend connections
  • Wallet interactions
  • Real-world deployment
05

Different Platforms

Ethereum isn't the only game. We look at other blockchains and why they made different design choices. Each has tradeoffs.

  • Alternative architectures
  • Layer 2 solutions
  • Cross-chain concepts
  • Performance comparison
06

Capstone Project

Your final project. Pick something you want to build and we help you figure out if blockchain actually makes sense for it. Spoiler: sometimes it doesn't.

  • Project scoping
  • Technical planning
  • Implementation guidance
  • Presentation and review

Real Projects, Real Code

We're not big on theory for theory's sake. Each module includes hands-on work where you're actually writing code and seeing it run.

By the end, you'll have a portfolio of small projects. Nothing that'll make you famous, but enough to show you understand how this technology works.

Our next cohort starts in October 2025. Classes run Tuesday and Thursday evenings for 14 weeks. We keep groups small—usually 12 to 15 people—so everyone gets attention when they're stuck.

Where People End Up

We don't promise job placements or salary numbers. But we do stay in touch with graduates, and it's interesting to see where they land.

Backend Developer → Blockchain Engineer

I came in with five years doing PHP and Node.js. Blockchain felt like learning a completely new paradigm—which it kind of is. The hardest part wasn't the code itself but wrapping my head around immutability and gas costs.

After finishing in early 2024, I spent three months building a supply chain tracking prototype. That project got me an interview at a logistics tech company. Now I'm part of their blockchain integration team.

April 2024: Landed blockchain role at logistics company
November 2024: Led implementation of tracking system for Asia Pacific region

Security Analyst → Smart Contract Auditor

I was doing security work for web applications and kept seeing companies asking about smart contract audits. Figured I should learn what that actually meant.

Turns out my security background transferred pretty well. Smart contracts have similar vulnerability patterns—reentrancy attacks are basically just race conditions with fancier names.

Why We Teach It This Way

There are faster ways to learn blockchain. Online courses that promise to make you job-ready in six weeks. We're not that. Here's why we take longer.

Our Teaching Philosophy

Back in 2018, I was teaching web development when a student asked about blockchain. I gave some vague answer about distributed ledgers. That night I realized I didn't actually understand it myself.

We Build From Scratch

Instead of just using existing tools, we build simplified versions ourselves. Want to understand consensus? We code a basic proof-of-work system. It's slower, but you actually know what's happening.

We Talk About Tradeoffs

Every blockchain makes compromises. Speed vs security. Decentralization vs scalability. We don't pretend there's a perfect solution—we help you understand what you're giving up when you make design choices.

We Skip The Hype

No talk about disrupting industries or revolutionizing finance. Just technical education about a specific type of distributed database. If that sounds boring, this probably isn't the right program for you.

We Work In Person

Our classroom is in District 7. Yeah, you could learn this online. But when you're stuck debugging a smart contract at 8pm on a Thursday, having someone physically there to look at your code helps.

We Stay Current

The blockchain space changes constantly. We update our curriculum every cohort based on what's actually being used in production. Right now that means more focus on Layer 2 solutions than we had last year.
