We’re pleased to announce the upcoming Build on Polkadot: W3Transfer Educate, build & win programme.

Starting this April, this programme will offer participants an opportunity to learn all about building on Polkadot and the skills needed to launch their own project.

The programme is structured to include four weeks of focused learning with a project-building period at the end. During the project week, participants can apply what they’ve learned & start bringing their ideas to life in order to build a decentralized file sharing solution (a Web3 version of WeTransfer!).

A special thank you to Apillon, Crust, Phala Network, KILT, and enthusiastic Polkadot builders everywhere for making this programme possible.
