Building Knowledge, Block by Block
We started teaching blockchain technology when most people still confused it with Bitcoin. That was back in late 2019.
Back then, finding practical education about distributed systems felt nearly impossible. So we built something different—training that connects technical concepts to actual business applications.
From Confusion to Clarity
The whole thing started when a friend asked me to explain smart contracts. I spent three hours drawing diagrams on napkins at a coffee shop in Taipei. He finally got it—but I realized how terrible most blockchain education was.
Most courses either dumbed everything down to uselessness or drowned people in cryptographic theory they'd never use. Neither approach helped someone actually build something.
We launched our first workshop in March 2020 with eight participants. By autumn that year, we were running monthly sessions. Now we work with companies, government agencies, and individuals who need real understanding—not buzzwords.
Our training center in Taitung became operational in early 2023. It gives us space to run intensive programs where people can actually focus without city distractions.
How We Actually Teach This Stuff
Blockchain technology gets explained badly everywhere. We've spent five years figuring out what actually works when teaching these concepts.
Start With Problems
We begin every module with a real business challenge. Data integrity issues, supply chain tracking, identity verification—actual problems blockchain might solve. Theory comes later.
Build Something Tangible
Within the first day, participants deploy their first smart contract to a test network. It might be simple, but seeing your code run on a distributed system changes how you understand the technology.
Explain the Trade-Offs
Blockchain isn't magic. We spend significant time on when not to use it, performance limitations, and cost considerations. Understanding constraints matters more than hype.
Next Program Starts
Our comprehensive blockchain development program begins September 2025. Applications open in June. Twelve weeks, hands-on focus, real projects.
What Changed Along the Way
Our first courses tried to cover everything—consensus mechanisms, cryptographic primitives, token economics, governance models. People left overwhelmed.
So we restructured everything around three skill levels. Fundamentals courses assume zero blockchain knowledge and focus on concepts. Intermediate programs teach actual development. Advanced sessions tackle architecture and security.
- We stopped teaching theory first. Now we build first, then explain why it works that way.
- We added failure analysis. Half our case studies show projects that didn't work and why.
- We brought in guest instructors who've shipped actual blockchain products. Real scars teach better than slides.
- We created follow-up sessions. People need support when they hit problems implementing things after training ends.
The curriculum evolves constantly. What worked in 2020 needs updating by 2025 because the technology keeps moving. We test new content with small groups before rolling it into main courses.
Most importantly, we learned to be honest about complexity. Some concepts take time to click. Rushing through material to hit curriculum targets helps nobody.
Who Runs This Place
Small team, deep experience. We've all built things with blockchain technology before teaching others how to do it.
Branimir Kovačević
Lead Instructor & Curriculum DirectorSpent six years building distributed systems before switching to education. Worked on supply chain implementations and identity verification platforms. Still codes daily—it keeps teaching relevant. Started this program because bad blockchain education annoyed him enough to fix it.
Toivo Järvinen
Technical Programs CoordinatorManages our training infrastructure and lab environments. Previously led development teams at two blockchain startups—one that succeeded, one that didn't. That failure taught him more than the success. Designs our practical exercises to mirror actual implementation challenges.
Want to Understand Blockchain Beyond the Hype?
Our next intensive program starts September 2025. We keep groups small—maximum fifteen participants—so everyone gets hands-on guidance.
