Government-backed educational course to teach Ukrainians about crypto.
Crypto classes organized for Ukrainians have begun on a government-run portal, a minister announced. More than 20,000 people have registered for the educational course in the war-torn country which maintains an objective to become “the best crypto jurisdiction.”Ukraine’s ‘Дія. Цифрова освіта’ has started the first classes of a course intended to improve the “crypto literacy” of Ukrainian citizens, the country’s Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov announced.
Quoted by the crypto news outlet Forklog, the government official emphasized that the course may become “the largest in the history of the development of virtual assets in Ukraine.” Over 20,000 applicants have already signed up, he added. The educational program, which is completely free of charge for the participants, will comprise 100 hours of theory and practice during which they will learn about the history of money and the development of Bitcoin.
Other subjects include Ethereum and smart contracts, mining and consensus algorithms, cold and hot wallets as well as opportunities and risks of cryptocurrency trading, the report detailed. The initiative stems from a partnership between the Digital Ministry, Ukraine-rooted crypto exchange Whitebit, the Filecoin Foundation, and Atlantis World, a social metaverse platform. It was announced in December when Fedorov tweeted that the “goal is to make Ukrainians crypto advanced nation.”
