We Started With a Simple Question
Why does learning about blockchain feel like decoding ancient texts? Back in 2022, three former software engineers sat in a Kaohsiung coffee shop, frustrated with how disconnected crypto education was from real-world application.
VoltShine Motion grew from that conversation. We're not trying to turn everyone into blockchain developers or crypto millionaires. Our focus is helping people understand the technology well enough to make informed decisions about their involvement in this space.
What Drives Us
Blockchain technology affects financial systems, supply chains, and data management. But most educational content either oversimplifies to the point of uselessness or drowns people in technical jargon.
We bridge that gap. Our programs start with practical applications—how smart contracts actually work, what decentralized finance means for traditional banking, why consensus mechanisms matter for security.
We're based in Taiwan because this region is genuinely interesting when it comes to crypto adoption. Regulatory frameworks here are evolving, and we watch those developments closely. Our students learn about technology and the real-world context where it operates.
Practical Understanding
Theory matters, but application matters more. Every concept we teach connects to actual use cases. Students leave our programs knowing what blockchain can and cannot do—which is arguably more valuable than blind enthusiasm.
Honest Assessment
We talk about limitations as openly as possibilities. Blockchain isn't magic, and crypto markets are volatile. Our curriculum includes risk assessment, security considerations, and realistic timelines for technology maturation.
Continuous Adaptation
This field changes fast. Our course materials get updated quarterly based on new developments, regulatory shifts, and feedback from our professional network. What we taught in early 2024 looks different from our spring 2025 curriculum.
How We Got Here
Initial Concept
Started with weekend workshops in Kaohsiung. Eight people showed up to the first one. We covered Bitcoin fundamentals and spent most of the time answering questions about wallet security. That became our template—follow what people actually need to know.
Program Development
Expanded to structured courses. Our first cohort had 24 students from various backgrounds—finance professionals wanting to understand DeFi, developers curious about Web3, small business owners exploring payment options. Their diverse perspectives shaped our teaching approach.
Partnership Building
Connected with local fintech companies and blockchain projects. These relationships gave our students access to real case studies and occasional guest speakers. It also kept our content grounded in what the industry actually needs rather than academic theory.
Current Focus
Now running multiple program tracks—introductory courses for beginners, technical deep-dives for developers, and business-focused sessions for executives. We've also started offering specialized workshops on emerging topics like tokenization and layer-2 scaling solutions.
Our Teaching Approach
Hands-On Learning
Students work with testnet environments from day one. You'll deploy smart contracts, interact with decentralized applications, and troubleshoot actual problems. Reading about blockchain is different from using it—we emphasize the latter.
Industry Context
Every technical concept gets paired with real-world examples. When we discuss consensus mechanisms, we examine how different blockchain networks chose their approaches and what trade-offs they made. Context matters as much as mechanics.
Critical Analysis
We encourage healthy skepticism. Students learn to evaluate new projects, identify potential security issues, and assess whether blockchain actually solves a particular problem better than traditional solutions. Not everything needs decentralization.
Peer Collaboration
Small group projects run throughout our programs. Working with others who have different backgrounds and skill levels mirrors how blockchain projects actually operate. You'll learn as much from your classmates as from instructors.
Meet Our Lead Instructor
Henrik Lundqvist
Technical Curriculum Director
Henrik spent eight years building distributed systems before crypto existed as we know it. He worked on database replication protocols and consensus algorithms when they were considered niche computer science topics. When blockchain emerged, he recognized the patterns immediately.
He joined our team in early 2023 after leaving a senior engineering role at a Taipei fintech company. His approach to teaching reflects his engineering background—methodical, detail-oriented, and focused on understanding why systems work the way they do rather than just memorizing how to use them.
Henrik runs our advanced technical track and constantly reminds students that good blockchain development starts with good software engineering fundamentals.
