San Francisco, CA, September 11th, 2024, Chainwire
EasyA, the world’s leading Web3 education app, proudly announces that it has surpassed one million downloads across iOS and Android. This milestone underscores EasyA’s rapid rise in popularity over the past few years as it’s quickly captured the minds of developers and crypto enthusiasts alike. As of today, over 100,000 developers have learned about Polkadot via EasyA.
Founded in 2020 by brothers Phil and Dom Kwok, EasyA has swiftly become the go-to app for aspiring and experienced developers to learn and build on the world’s leading blockchains such as Polkadot and others. For many blockchains, EasyA has become the number 1 way developers find out about their tech. It’s also increasingly becoming one of the top drivers of developer activity on these blockchains.
“Hitting 1 million downloads underscores just how popular EasyA’s become. But it’s not only developers who are loving EasyA. Blockchains do too. Demand for EasyA has absolutely blown us away. We currently have a waitlist of 12 months for new chains looking to launch on EasyA.” said Phil Kwok, CEO and Co-Founder of EasyA.
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.
“I tried learning Web3 by going to workshops or online bootcamps but always lost interest quickly. With EasyA, it’s so easy to learn about any chain I want, whenever I want. As soon as a new challenge drops in the app, I’m always one of the first to try and complete it, even if it sometimes means being late to lectures. Oops!” – Alexandra, Harvard junior and proud EasyA community member.
EasyA is more than just a viral app; its popularity extends beyond the online sphere and is particularly evident in person. At any EasyA hackathon around the world, one of the first sights is often long lines of developers stretching around the block, sometimes forming hours before the event even begins. These developers are eager to launch their startups on-chain or meet EasyA’s charismatic founders, creating an atmosphere akin to a concert crowd.
This summer, nearly 1,000 developers participated in EasyA’s Polkadot hackathons, resulting in the launch of 111 startups on Polkadot. At the CoinDesk Consensus conference in Austin, where Polkadot was a main sponsor, EasyA brought together the largest number of developers in the history of the world’s biggest blockchain conference. Over 100 startups were launched at that event alone, with many now successfully securing funding to further develop their 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.
But even with all of EasyA’s successes, its founders Phil and Dom say it’s still day one for the rocketship startup. Later this year, EasyA plans to launch its own fund to invest in startups founded by its community members, currently valued at over $2.5 billion. They’ve already begun their expansion into Asia, the world’s most populous continent. One thing’s for sure. With EasyA leading the charge, Web3 is no longer a pipe dream.
