EasyA announces 1 million devs in the ecosystem
EasyA, a Web3 education platform and incubator, recently announced that it has reached a milestone by bringing together more than 1 million developers in its ecosystem.
Alongside the milestone announcement, EasyA also revealed plans to launch the Polkadot Learning Initiative to help interested developers learn the ropes of the blockchain network and eventually deploy decentralized applications on the Polkadot platform.
Phil Kwok, co-founder and CEO of EasyA, points to the educational platform's significant developer ecosystem as an indication of the high demand for Web3. “Reaching one million developers is proof of the insatiable appetite for Web3 education,” said Kwok.

Renewed interest and crypto education
2024 saw renewed interest in Web3, cryptocurrencies and digital assets, mainly due to several developments from the United States. These include the introduction of a Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded fund (ETF), the current bull run, the approval of Ether (ETH) ETFs, and pushing crypto into 2024 presidential campaign issues.
As interest in blockchain grows, educational initiatives aimed at software developers and the voting public have also taken shape. The recently established Bitcoin Voters Project is one of the non-profit organizations dedicated to educating American voters about the decentralized currency.
In early June, distributed blockchain network MultiversX and Cornell University's online program launched a collaborative blockchain educational course for students. Upon completion of the Blockchain Essentials Program, students will receive a course certificate and an opportunity for additional mentorship with MultiversX.
The 2024 US presidential election has raised crypto to the national spotlight
Recent comments by former United States President Donald Trump have catapulted cryptocurrencies into the national spotlight. What was once a topic to appeal to the crypto industry has been turned into a campaign issue by the Republican candidate.
The 2024 presidential candidate recently met with representatives of major Bitcoin mining companies CleanSpark, Riot Platforms and TeraWulf. Less than 24 hours after the meeting, the companies established a blockchain voting project.
Trump has also named himself a candidate for single-issue crypto voters and has promised to end current President Joe Biden's “war on crypto” if re-elected in November.
