Blockchain Fundamentals for Taiwan's Digital Economy
We started tracking Web3 adoption in Asia back in 2022. What we found surprised us — most educational content skipped the actual infrastructure. That's why our autumn 2025 curriculum focuses on what blockchain actually does, not what people say it might do someday.

Real Data from Our 2024 Cohorts
We track what happens after people finish. These numbers reflect the 187 participants who completed our programs between March and November 2024.
How the Curriculum Actually Works
Foundation Phase: September-October 2025
You'll spend eight weeks on distributed systems basics. No hype about DeFi yet — first you need to understand why Byzantine fault tolerance matters and what consensus actually means when you have 10,000 nodes.
Application Layer: November-December 2025
This is where we look at smart contracts and dApp architecture. You'll work with Ethereum testnets and see how gas fees affect design decisions. Turns out most "revolutionary" ideas don't work when each transaction costs actual money.
Regional Context: January 2026
Taiwan's regulatory environment differs from mainland China and Singapore. We bring in compliance specialists who explain what you can actually build here versus what sounds cool in white papers.
Extended Practicum: February-March 2026
Final eight weeks involve building something functional. Past projects included supply chain verification systems and credential management platforms. Nothing that requires venture funding — just solid distributed applications.
What Makes Our Approach Different
Infrastructure Before Applications
Most courses rush to token economics and NFTs. We spend three months on how blockchain networks actually function — networking protocols, cryptographic primitives, and state management. Boring stuff that matters when systems break.
Taiwan Market Specifics
Financial regulations here mean certain DeFi applications won't fly. We focus on enterprise blockchain use cases that align with local policy — logistics tracking, academic credentials, and healthcare data management.
Post-Completion Support
Alumni from 2023-2024 cohorts still access our technical resources. When they hit implementation problems six months later, they can schedule office hours. We've found this ongoing connection matters more than the initial training.
Realistic Career Pathways
We don't promise blockchain developer jobs. What we see instead: backend engineers who add distributed systems to their toolkit, data analysts who understand on-chain analytics, and product managers who can evaluate blockchain proposals critically.
Where Former Participants Are Now
We followed up with graduates from 2023 and 2024 to see what actually happened
Enterprise Integration Track
Haukur Lindström completed our program in May 2024. He works for a logistics company in Taipei and helped them pilot a blockchain-based cargo tracking system. The project reduced documentation errors by 40% during a four-month trial. It's not revolutionary — just fewer spreadsheets and better audit trails.
Technical Consulting Path
After finishing in September 2023, Branimir Žilić started consulting for companies evaluating blockchain proposals. He tells us most projects don't need blockchain — traditional databases work fine. When distributed verification actually makes sense, he helps design appropriate architectures. Saved three clients from expensive mistakes in 2024 alone.
