About the zkEVM Bootcamp

Learn zkEVM from scratch through a 6-week intensive live course, taught by an expert instructor and teaching assistants.

This bootcamp features daily 90-minute live sessions, running from Monday to Thursday at 5 pm GMT each week.
Each participant will join our lively Discord to take part in discussions and work on group projects.
Successful graduates will stay in touch with our Talent department in order to get placed in a web3 job!
Graduates also receive a certificate which they can include in their CV.

Eligibility and selection process

50-100 individuals selected for each cohort.
Participants are selected based on their applications and a video interview.
Applicants should have some sort of background in development and should be interested in entering the web3 space.

Anyone can apply, but priority will be given to those who can already code in other languages and are looking for a job.
The bootcamps are completely free, but require a $250 deposit to enroll.
Deposits are refunded to applicants who satisfy graduation criteria, based on attendance and project completion.
The bootcamps are designed to be part-time commitments. There is a 90-minute live session running from Monday to Thursday, weekday homework, as well as weekend projects.

All bootcamp participants are required to complete a final team project in order to graduate.
All bootcamp graduates receive an NFT certificate. It serves as an official graduation certificate, which means you can feature it on your CV and LinkedIn.
