Build Decentralized Applications That Actually Work
Smart contracts fail. Transactions get stuck. Users abandon your dApp. We teach developers how to build blockchain solutions that handle real-world complexity without breaking under pressure.

Recognition From People Who Actually Build Things
In early 2024, three of our graduates secured spots at Seoul Blockchain Week not because they had flashy demos, but because their code survived stress testing that broke most submissions. That's when we realized our approach works differently.
Our developers don't just pass certification exams. They ship code that handles network congestion, manages gas optimization under real conditions, and builds interfaces that regular people can actually use without calling support every five minutes.
How We Actually Teach This Stuff
Most blockchain courses throw theory at you and hope something sticks. We start with broken code and make you fix it. Because that's what you'll do every single day as a developer.
Start With Real Problems
Your first assignment involves a smart contract that looks fine but drains gas like crazy. You'll learn why by fixing it, not by reading about theoretical optimization.
Build Under Constraints
Every project has limits. Network speed. Gas costs. User patience. We simulate these conditions so your code learns to work when things aren't perfect.
Deploy Iteratively
You'll push to testnet early and often. Most of your first deployments will have issues. That's the point. Better to break things in our environment than in production.
Learn From Developers Who've Been There
Our instructors aren't career educators. They're working developers who spend half their time writing production code and the other half showing you how to avoid the mistakes they made.
Silje Berglund
I spent three years debugging DeFi protocols before teaching here. Every mistake I made at 2am trying to save a failing deployment becomes a lesson for my students. They get to learn from disasters without experiencing them firsthand.
Aoife MacGrath
Half my job is convincing students that their brilliant idea won't work on-chain. The other half is showing them how to rebuild it so it actually does. Teaching here means I get to prevent the expensive lessons I learned building my first three failed projects.
Next Program Starts October 2025
We're accepting applications for our intensive 9-month blockchain development program. You'll need basic programming knowledge and a lot of patience for debugging. Everything else we can teach.
Class size stays under 20 students because meaningful code review doesn't scale well. Everyone gets individual feedback on their deployments.
- 380 hours of hands-on development across Ethereum, Polygon, and Layer 2 solutions
- Weekly code reviews where we tear apart your contracts (constructively)
- Three major project deployments to public testnets with real user testing
- Direct mentorship from developers currently shipping production code
