ARPA Network and Bella Protocol have announced their collaboration to address the shortage of skilled developers for blockchain and AI projects.
Program Information
The University Crypto Research Alliance connects students with opportunities in the Web3 space. Supported by the Web3 incubator Penrose, the initiative goes beyond funding, aiming to create a long-term pipeline of skilled developers.
Research Fellowship Details
The five-month fellowship will begin in late 2025. Selected students will work with ARPA and Bella's teams on blockchain, AI, cryptography, and zero-knowledge applications. They will also participate in conferences and panels, gaining professional connections and experience.
Future of Blockchain and AI
With an increasing demand for AI and blockchain developers and a limited supply, the talent gap hinders the implementation of new applications and systems. The alliance provides students with early access to experience and practical training needed to build a qualified workforce for these sectors.
The University Crypto Research Alliance aims to prepare the next generation of skilled developers, addressing the growing demand for talented researchers and developers in blockchain and AI.
