Ukraine pilots educational course on cryptocurrencies

Experts from the Ukrainian foresight project ‘Virtual Assets 2030’ conducted a basic course on blockchain and cryptocurrencies for the first 30 Ukrainians, selected from more than 400 applicants based on motivational letters.

The free pilot project was held online in the state language. After a month-long course, 17 people passed the exam successfully and received NFT certificates.

The training program included six lessons, four workshops, five assignments, and a final test. The course covered topics:

• ‘Everything started with Bitcoin’;
• ‘Then altcoins appeared’;
• ‘From virtual currencies to virtual assets’;
• ‘NFTs and metaverses’;
• ‘About service providers for virtual assets’;
• ‘Exchanges and trading’;
• ‘Cyber hygiene when working with cryptocurrencies’;
• ‘Basics of AML’;
• ‘Virtual assets and the law’.

Participants learned to install a crypto wallet, receive, send and exchange cryptocurrencies, analyze transactions, interact with smart contracts, and configure a secure online environment for working with digital assets.

The project’s creators included Leonid Khatskevich, Head of Business Development at 482.solutions; Dmitry Bondar, a regular ForkLog author; independent analyst and trader Igor Porokh; Valeria Volkova, owner of a telecommunications company; Aida Dzhangirova, managing partner at BlockchainArt; and others.

According to the initiative’s roadmap, by May 2024 half of Ukrainians will learn to use cryptocurrency, every Ukrainian school will teach a course on virtual assets, and leading universities will offer specialized bachelor’s and master’s programs.

In July, the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine presented the strategy for developing the market of virtual assets through 2024.
