We believe knowledge is power, especially in an emerging industry. As such, it is crucial to connect people with open source educational resources and increase learning opportunities in the space – and that’s just what we do. Take a look at some of our educational programs.
We start accredited blockchain courses at universities in the states because a blockchain education is an onramp to adoption. We aim to improve access to educational material by building university curriculums, hosting conferences, and offering free online courses and recorded infosessions to all our members.
Our university-affiliated blockchain clubs are doing great work utilizing high-quality human capital - it is advantageous that we encourage collaboration and ensure that best practices and industry contacts are shared during our events and conferences.
We aim to foster a culture of collaboration that transcends university boundaries and allows new ideas to flow freely. Some of the ways we do this include: organizing virtual educational meetups, hosting casual public calls, offering free or subsidized tickets to conferences, building accredited curriculum, and sourcing speakers for events.

We are building an ontology learning tool with techniques from formal concept analysis, to classify academic research being done in the universities across the BAF network. We do so to detect and identify research trends and potentially facilitate collaboration between researchers working in related capacities.

In this event, we discussed the so-called "blockchain trilemma", the problem central to the design of any blockchain. This trade-off among scalability, security, and decentralization means that to optimize for one of these parameters necessarily requires compromising on the others. We examined the trilemma with esteemed guest Dr. Silvio Micali, founder of Algorand. During this one-hour presentation and discussion, we explored the trilemma, review Dr. Micali’s influential research creating zero-knowledge proofs, and hear about the Algorand blockchain’s “pure proof-of-stake” solution.
