Privacy Academy
While we were organizing the hackathons of ETHBrno, ETHRome, and ETHDam, as well as judging and speaking in many others, we understood that many people came to privacy without grasping the full significance of it. There are not enough technical, practical, political, philosophical or historical resources to help them do so, and the ones you can find are scattered among different platforms, websites and playlists.
Considering education and guidance towards practical and useful developments as necessary and of primary importance, Web3Privacy Now intends to develop and offer training, incubation, and acceleration programs.

- Redirect misallocated funds to value-aligned stakeholders: connect conscientious devs with experienced mentors and grant programs.
Execution Plan
-
Milestone 1 [Q4 2024] - Curated Learning Resources: We gather the best existing materials and curate them to be accessible for both average crypto users and total beginners. This empowers users to learn exactly what they are looking for or interested in and to implement best practices effectively.
-
Milestone 2 [Q2 2025] - Structured Learning Paths: We create various learning paths and playlists, and run cohort-based programs similar to kernel. These programs allow participants to interact with each other, to receive guidance from mentors and experts, and to enhance their learning experience.
-
Milestone 3 [Q4 2025] - Project Accelerator and Post-Academy Support: We launch an accelerator for final projects from the Academy learners and provide post-academy support and work introductions. Graduates will be able to publish their projects and ideas on our grant/bounty platform where they will find the opportunity to be funded or crowdfunded.
-
Milestone 4 [Q1 2026] - Original Content Production: We produce our own content in collaboration with our network and key experts to further enhance the educational offerings.
