EMURGO Academy is the education unit of EMURGO – the official commercial arm of the Cardano blockchain protocol.
EMURGO Academy is dedicated to the creation of a highly skilled blockchain talent pool fluent in the development of decentralized applications (dApps) on Cardano.
With enterprises and blockchain projects demanding a supply of more blockchain-proficient workers, EMURGO Academy’s mission is to help meet this demand through tailored online courses for prospective Cardano developers.
Why Learn to Build on Cardano?
Cardano is a third-generation and “green” blockchain protocol that runs an environmentally-friendly proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus algorithm to secure its network.
With mainstream awareness increasing around blockchain technology and Cardano’s ADA cryptocurrency, Cardano is also the most decentralized PoS blockchain development platform as of today.
From its inception, Cardano has been guided by best engineering principles to deliver a platform that is scalable, sustainable, and interoperable with other blockchain networks, for a large number of users.
The upcoming integration of smart contracts on Cardano through the Alonzo hard fork will open the doors for developers to start building decentralized applications (dApps) including DeFi, and NFTs on Cardano.
Become a Trailblazing Cardano Blockchain Developer
Through EMURGO Academy’s curated online content and course options, prospective Cardano developers will learn the basics of Cardano’s programming languages – Haskell, Plutus and Marlowe – and practical applications of these languages in the Cardano ecosystem
EMURGO Academy believes it is important to gain a holistic view of the entire blockchain ecosystem along with a good understanding of how other blockchain protocols work, the innovations in Cardano, and why these make sense.
