BEIJING, Nov. 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Achain yesterday
announced to partner with DACA and Tsinghua iCenter in their
co-organized "Blockchain Technology Open Course". The Beijing-based Blockchain project team recently
launched their community-based blockchain literacy campaign, having
just collaborated last week with Android Studio Chinese
Community Forum to make leading-edge technology resources
accessible to amateur developers.
The partnership involves an offer of scholarships to a
selected number of outstanding students. Internship opportunities
and prized contests will be open to all who are enrolled.
"Blockchain Technology Open Course" is
designed to encourage potential blockchain engineering
talent in the local community. Held by Tsinghua University's
iCenter, it is home to Tsinghua's Makers/Hackers student club,
gearing this generation's scientific elite towards "innovation,
inter-discipline, and internationalization". The program is
co-organized by DACA, Distributed Autonomous Coalition Asia
(Blockchain), a large association initiated by OKCoin, BTCC, HuoBi,
Vitalik Buterin (founder of
Ethereum) and others. Committed to serve for development projects
of blockchain technology in Asia,
it has organized the annual Global Blockchain Summits since
2015.
Achain, focused on developing a complete blockchain ecosystem,
highly values the open course's prestigious curriculum. Available
in class and online, the course offers academic, career-counseling,
and entrepreneurial resources to all students and professionals
nation-wide. The eclectic content of the course covers the
fundamentals, such as "blockchain basic theories", to multiple
advanced topics of "side chains" and "smart contracts design". The
course took an in-depth look at the commonly seen "replay
attacks" using recent examples and case studies. It was conducted
by Tsinghua iCenter's Distinguished Visiting Professor,
Xun Yuan, who is experienced in the
application of the Etheruem complier, specialized in thin client
solutions and languages integration database, and a graduate of
University of Illinois.
Achain intends encourage a greater degree of public
participation through scholarship. The project desires to make this
stimulating environment in China's
elite university more widely available. "If the idea of
blockchain is to have a technology that is eventually participated
by everyone, it should be transparently developed by the most of us
to begin with," said Tony Cui,
founder of Achain.
The Achain team expressed their commitment to follow further
progress of the program under their support. Meanwhile, the team
wished the public to stay tuned for their upcoming reports on
community building and their blockchain literacy campaign.
