As a researcher with a keen interest in blockchain technology and its impact on education, I am consistently amazed by the rapid growth and success of EasyA. Having spent years studying the intersection of tech and learning, it is fascinating to witness the transformation that EasyA has brought about in the realm of Web3 education.

With great excitement, we’re thrilled to share that our app, EasyA – a global pioneer in Web3 education – has reached an incredible achievement: one million downloads across both iOS and Android platforms! This significant milestone testifies to EasyA’s swift ascent in popularity during the past few years. Our platform has managed to captivate not only developers but also crypto enthusiasts at an astonishing pace. As we stand today, more than 100,000 developers have expanded their knowledge about Polkadot through EasyA.
Established in 2020 by brothers Phil and Dom Kwok, EasyA emerged as a popular choice for both novice and seasoned developers seeking to learn and work on prominent blockchain technologies like Polkadot among others. Nowadays, EasyA is often the primary source of information about these blockchains for many developers, and it’s also playing an increasingly significant role in driving developer activity on these platforms.
As a proud crypto investor, I can’t help but express my excitement over the incredible milestone that EasyA has achieved – surpassing 1 million downloads! This figure isn’t just a number; it’s a testament to the growing popularity of EasyA. It’s not only developers who are enamored with EasyA, but also blockchains themselves. The demand for EasyA has taken us completely by surprise and left us speechless. In fact, we currently have a waitlist stretching over 12 months for new chains eager to launch on EasyA! Phil Kwok, CEO and Co-Founder of EasyA, couldn’t be more thrilled about this remarkable journey.
Industry thought leaders have likened EasyA’s mobile approach to learning Web3 to that of Duolingo and how the popular app transformed language learning. In fact, one leading Polkadot community member recently referred to EasyA as “Duolingo, but twice as good.” And it’s clear that the world’s top developers love EasyA. Students from top universities across the world, from Harvard to Cambridge, credit EasyA with being the reason why they first got into Web3.
Alexandra, a student at Harvard, has struggled with traditional methods of learning Web3 by attending workshops or online bootcamps due to quickly losing interest. However, she finds EasyA an effortless way to learn about any blockchain she desires whenever it suits her schedule. Intrigued by the new challenges presented in the app, Alexandra often delays lectures to be among the first to tackle and complete them, despite the occasional tardiness.
EasyA transcends simple viral status; its influence extends far beyond the digital realm and is noticeable in real-life scenarios. At international EasyA hackathons, it’s common to see lines of developers wrapping around blocks, sometimes queuing hours before the event starts. These enthusiastic coders are either eager to debut their on-chain startups or meet the captivating founders of EasyA, generating an ambiance reminiscent of a lively concert crowd. This past summer, approximately 1,000 developers took part in EasyA’s Polkadot hackathons, leading to the launch of 111 startups on Polkadot. During the CoinDesk Consensus conference in Austin, where Polkadot was a prominent sponsor, EasyA amassed the greatest number of developers ever gathered at the world’s largest blockchain conference. At that event alone, more than 100 startups were initiated, with many now successfully obtaining funding to further their innovative ideas.
EasyA has played a pivotal role in countless founders’ careers, with their hackathon winners going on to raise from the world’s best VCs like a16z, Founders Fund and more. Most recently, Cognition AI (a unicorn valued at over $2 billion), was founded by an EasyA hackathon winner. Given these successes, it’s not surprising that demand for EasyA hackathons has been so strong that EasyA currently hosts 1-2 of these events every month.
Despite the numerous achievements of EasyA, co-founders Phil and Dom maintain that it’s still early days for this rapidly growing startup. Later in the year, EasyA intends to establish its own investment fund to support startups originating from their community, with an estimated worth exceeding $2.5 billion. They have already started their venture into Asia, the most populous continent on earth. One point that is clear is that under EasyA’s guidance, Web3 is no longer just a concept.
