Polkadot Launches First Blockchain Course for UK Lawmakers
The Polkadot Blockchain Academy (PBA) has launched an educational course titled "Blockchain Basics" aimed at enhancing Web3 knowledge among policymakers. The initiative addresses the lack of industry expertise that has delayed crypto policy implementation.
Key details:
- The course will take place from April 6 to April 8 in Zug, Switzerland.
- Led by Dr. Lisa Cameron, the course will include a delegation of UK MPs.
- The curriculum focuses on blockchain technology's role in innovation and economic growth.
- Topics covered will include regulation and "guardrails" for AI and autonomous agents.
The UK is actively developing its crypto regulatory framework, with recent approvals for crypto services from companies like Coinbase and Uphold.
Polkadot aims to equip policymakers with necessary insights to create effective crypto policies, fostering a supportive environment for blockchain advancements.
