Are you ready for some great news about a brand new educational platform?
I saw this on LinkedIn, as it was created by people that we have a connection and I have just signed up. This is a new educational platform called Web3Edu, and it offers a different approach to blockchain education.
You will not simply be taught the theory behind decentralized technologies, because Web3Edu places learners directly inside a real blockchain environment from day one.
Does this makes you curious?
Let's dive in
The website is bilingual, available both in English and in Greek
Why Web3edu?
Because learning Web3 should be empowering.
This is directly from their website:
Our Mission
Web3Edu treats learning as a first-class Web3 concept — not as content to consume, but as identity to build. Learners develop real blockchain skills through hands-on labs, experiments, and direct interaction with decentralized systems. Each step of progress becomes verifiable, composable, and reusable across the ecosystem. With on-chain credentials and participation in the Web3Edu DAO, learning does not end at completion. It evolves through contribution, collaboration, and shared governance — shaping both the learner and the platform itself.
Built on an Ethereum-compatible network using Hyperledger Besu, the platform allows students to interact with blockchain infrastructure in real time.
Users connect wallets, perform transactions, and deploy smart contracts — all without gas costs. This removes one of the biggest barriers to experimentation while still maintaining a real on-chain experience.
One of the most interesting features is its identity layer. Instead of receiving traditional certificates or PDFs, learners earn Soulbound Tokens (SBTs). These are non-transferable credentials minted on-chain, permanently linked to the learner’s wallet. The result is a verifiable, decentralized record of achievements that is not controlled by a single platform.
Let's see how Web3Edu works
Students are invited to follow a clear rhythm: understand the concepts, experiment with them, then co-create what comes next.
STEP 1 🪪 Identity & Fundamentals
Establish your Web3 learning identity and grasp the core blockchain concepts.
STEP 2 🏛️ Access the DAO
Join the Web3Edu DAO and unlock participation in a learner-driven ecosystem.
STEP 3 📘 Learn by Doing
Explore blockchain concepts through hands-on labs and guided experiments.
STEP 4 🛠️ Build & Contribute
Apply what you learned by building prototypes and shaping what comes next
I don't know about you, but I am starting this new journey, right now.

How Labs Work
• Hands-on exercises using real Web3 infrastructure
• No prior setup required for most labs
• Designed for students, educators, and builders
NFT Verifier, DAO Playground and Zero Knowledge Module coming soon!
How to start?

You just need to connect your wallet.
No gas fees. Your wallet always remains yours.
When you click, the site recognizes the installed browser wallets and for those who are beginning their journey now, there is a link to learn more: https://learn.rainbow.me/understanding-web3
The second step is to mint your Web3 Identity
This is an amazing opportunity for new users to get acquainted with the Web3 world, in an easy and safe way.
I will continue exploring this and if you are a new user, I totally recommend it!
If you do start your journey, let me know your thoughts or any questions :)
The project was developed by Nelly Leligou, Tonia Damvakeraki, Michael Xevgenis, and Dimitris Kogias, following extensive research and experimentation around decentralized identity and blockchain infrastructure.
The core curriculum is currently free to access, and an one-of-a-kind opportunity for anyone who wants to explore blockchain in a hands-on way.
sounds an interesting concept, should be done on high schools to promote some knowledge
