Binance Academy, the arm of Binance dedicated to cryptocurrency education, has collaborated with BNB Chain, the largest layer-1 blockchain platform, to introduce an innovative online course titled BNB Chain Developer Specialization, according to the information which was shared with Finbold on March 25.
The goal of the initiative is to equip new Web3 software with the skills needed to fuel growth in Web3, cryptocurrency and technology.
The program is the result of the growing demand for skilled Web3 developers and the desire to cultivate a larger talent pool that can drive innovation within the industry.
No prior knowledge of blockchain basics is required and the course is completely free.
The organization of the program
Twenty courses, all in English, contain a curated selection of two to six videos that delve into a wide range of topics, ranging from fundamental blockchain concepts to more advanced topics such as smart contracts, solidity, Web3, decentralized applications (DApps) , decentralized finance (DeFi), Greenfield architecture and more.
The learning material is curated to engage participants and pitch ideas, with a mix of video lectures, lectures, hands-on assessments and graded evaluations.
Web3 democratization
The overarching goal 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 enabling individuals to explore Web3 development and work on improving existing skills.
Upon successful completion of the course, participants will receive a digital certificate, testifying to their newfound expertise and potentially opening doors to more opportunities within the industry.
Yi He, co-founder of Binance, highlighted the crucial role of education in driving the growth and adoption of blockchain and Web3 technologies, stating:
“Blockchain and Web3 are setting a precedent in innovations in industries around the world. Education is crucial for further development and adoption, and it offers 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-centered principles and mission to increase financial accessibility and sustainable innovation as an industry leader that supports the growth of the larger ecosystem. With this specialized blockchain developer program, we hope to encourage and support more people to be part of the future of these new technologies that will change our society and revolutionize the industry.”

The fame of BNB Chain
BNB Chain has grown into a formidable blockchain entity with unparalleled popularity and effectiveness.
With opBNB ranking as the top blockchain platform by daily active users (71 million transactions per day at an average cost of $0.001), and BNB Smart Chain (BSC) reigning as the top L1 blockchain by the same metrics (a total locked value of over $4 billion ), the platform has cemented its status as a community-driven blockchain ecosystem of paramount importance.
Thus, the partnership with BNB Chain marks an important addition to Binance Academy’s portfolio of global educational initiatives such as Learn & Earn campaigns and the University Outreach Program.
At the same time, it complements BNB Keten’s efforts to support builders through programs such as the Most Valuable Builder (MVB) program and subsidies such as the TVL and DAU Incentive Programs.
Together, the initiatives welcome millions into the digital economy and promote innovation in every area.
