The Algorand Foundation with CEO Staci Warden recently hosted the first Algorand Blockchain Academy graduation event with over 200+ UN staff.
Developed by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Algorand Foundation, the Algorand Blockchain Academy is bringing blockchain education to the world.
The news comes as real-world assets on Algorand increase alongside the launch of the Pera Payment Card.
Algorand Blockchain Academy with UNDP rounds up a success
In collaboration with the Algorand Foundation and UNDP, UNDP staff are able to access blockchain courses and mentorship support.
The course helps UN staffers leverage blockchain technology to reach various Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that can be achieved using blockchain technology.
In agreement, Algorand and the UNDP believe blockchain technology can be utilized to tackle global challenges. The course is targeted at 120,000+ United Nations employees from around the world.
Financial inclusion, supply chain transparency, and tokenization efforts are detailed during the courses, exposing UN staffers to new ways of harnessing blockchain technology.
From Doro Unger-Lee, Head of Education and Inclusion at the Algorand Foundation:
“Education is the cornerstone of innovation. By equipping development professionals with the knowledge and skills to use blockchain technology, we are taking a crucial step towards practical, on-the-ground solutions that can address some of the world’s most pressing challenges.
Algorand leads recent real-world asset surge
Alongside courses for UN staffers, Algorand has witnessed increased growth in the field of real-world assets and new members to the Foundation team.
Jennie Levin has joined the Algorand Foundation as Chief Legal & Operations Officer, poised to help accelerate Algorand’s adoption in a new pro-crypto US.
With Levin on the team, Algorand may be able to navigate the legal maze of US crypto policies, allowing Algorand to be better placed amongst its peers when it comes to crypto availability and adoption by big firms.
With Ondo Finance, Chainlink, and JPMorgan successfully performing a cross-chain RWA swap, institutional interest in RWAs and how they can best be used is on the rise.
Algorand, which is being used by multiple projects such as Lofty and TravelX to tokenize real estate and airline costs, is sitting in the RWA spotlight alongside Stellar Lumens, Ethereum, and Aptos.
