The BLOKC Joins Forces with Solana Foundation to Create an Ecosystem and Pipeline of Solana Developers in the Philippines

Bridging the Gap and Unlocking Potential in the Philippines' Blockchain Landscape

Jun 09, 2023

Manila, June 9, 2023 - The BLOKC, a leading Blockchain Education Platform in the Philippines, announced its exciting collaboration with Solana Foundation, propelling the advancement of Solana Blockchain Technology in the Philippines to new heights. Together, they aim to empower developers through a series of Solana Developer Bootcamps and meet-up events, to further the way decentralized applications (dApps), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and decentralized finance (DeFi) applications are built and harnessed.

The Solana Blockchain has rapidly gained traction as a popular platform for cutting-edge development, offering scalability, speed, and innovation. However, the lack of necessary skills and knowledge among developers has been a significant challenge hindering the growth of the ecosystem. Recognizing this, The BLOKC collaborated with the Solana Foundation to bridge the knowledge gap, fostering nation-building and capacity-building in the blockchain sector of the Philippines.

The Solana Developer Bootcamps and meet-up events, organized by The BLOKC, will provide a transformative learning experience for participants, catering to University partners, working professionals, and tech enthusiasts across the nation. This comprehensive initiative comprises a series of 10 Bootcamps in an intensive 2-week practical application and hands-on program, carefully designed to equip attendees with the skills and experience needed to successfully build on the Solana Blockchain.

Renowned Solana developers and trainers will guide participants on an immersive journey, delving into various topics such as blockchain technology fundamentals, Solana Blockchain exploration, smart contract development and deployment, dApp development, NFT creation, DeFi application development, and more. This practical approach ensures participants gain valuable real-world experience that can be immediately applied to their projects and endeavors.

The Solana Developer Bootcamps and meet-up events go beyond education alone. To encourage innovation and collaboration, The BLOKC and Solana Foundation will host an open pitching activity and an exhilarating mini-hackathon. This exciting platform allows participants to showcase their groundbreaking ideas leveraging Solana Blockchain and compete for enticing prizes. It not only highlights participants' talent but also cultivates a vibrant developer community passionate about Solana.

These activities will take place in prominent universities and industry partners across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, ensuring equal access and opportunities for aspiring developers from various regions. The emphasis on inclusivity is instrumental in nurturing a robust and diverse developer ecosystem, promoting collaboration, and propelling the growth of Solana Blockchain technology throughout the Philippines.

To ensure the utmost quality in the learning experience, industry-experienced instructors will lead the Solana bootcamps and meet-up events. Participants will also gain access to a supportive learning community and valuable networking opportunities with fellow developers, creating a collaborative environment that nurtures growth and innovation.

Upon successful completion of the Solana Developer Bootcamps, participants will receive an NFT Certification, recognizing them as BLOKC-Certified Solana Developers, BLOKC-Certified NFT Specialists, or BLOKC-Certified DeFi Specialists. These certification serves as a testament to their expertise and commitment to excellence within the Solana ecosystem.

The BLOKC and Solana Foundation share a deep commitment to building a strong developer community and fostering the growth of aspiring technopreneurs and new founders within the Solana Blockchain. By providing this educational opportunity, they aim to increase the number of developers building dApps, NFTs, and DeFi applications on the Solana platform, benefiting both the Philippines and Solana as a technology, while solidifying Solana Foundation's position as a leading organization in the blockchain industry.
