The Web3 Foundation and the global online learning platform edX launch a series of foundational courses in blockchain technology and the Polkadot platform. The four-part series, called Web3x, will cover the fundamentals of blockchain and explore the Substrate software development kit and the Rust programming language.
At the time of publication, the Web3x webpage contains only the first two courses: ‘Introduction to blockchain and Web3” and “Introduction to Polkadot.” The former course explains the history and key terminology of blockchains, Bitcoin, Ethereum and Web3, and the technologies behind them. The latter provides the learners with the key terminology behind Polkadot (
) — the concepts of shared security, interoperability, cryptography, consensus and the networking aspects of it.
The specific choice comes as no surprise — the Polkadot layer-0 blockchain network is the flagship protocol for Web3 Foundation. Both courses start on Oct. 20 and can be joined for free.
