Learning Blockchain Without the Hype
Most blockchain courses promise you'll build the next big thing in three weeks. We don't. What we do is walk you through how distributed ledger technology actually works, why it matters for certain problems, and what you'd need to know if you're thinking about working in this space.

We Started This Because Job Postings Made No Sense
Back in 2023, a bunch of local tech companies were posting blockchain developer positions. But when you read through them, the requirements were all over the place. Some wanted Solidity experts. Others needed people who understood consensus algorithms. A few just said "blockchain experience required" and left it at that.
So we talked to these companies. Turns out most of them didn't really know what they needed either. They just knew blockchain was being used for supply chain tracking, financial settlements, and identity verification, and they wanted people who could work on those projects.
Building Understanding from Ground Up
Our approach is simple. Start with how data gets distributed across networks. Then look at how consensus works when you don't have a central authority. After that, we get into smart contracts and how they execute without someone clicking "approve" every time.
You'll write code. Not toy examples, but the kind of scripts and contracts that handle real scenarios. We use test networks so you can see what happens when transactions fail or when network conditions aren't perfect.
What You'll Actually Work On
These aren't hypothetical projects. They're based on what local businesses and organizations have needed over the past two years.
Supply Chain Verification
Agricultural exporters need to prove product origin and handling conditions. You'll build a system that records checkpoints without requiring constant internet connectivity.
The interesting part isn't the blockchain itself. It's figuring out how to capture data at rural collection points and sync it later when connectivity is available.
Certificate Validation
Educational institutions want verifiable credentials that don't require calling an office every time. You'll create a system where certificates can be checked instantly while protecting student privacy.
Payment Settlement
Cross-border transactions between Vietnamese businesses and regional partners face delays. Build a settlement layer that records agreements and triggers payments when conditions are met.
The Part Nobody Talks About
Blockchain development isn't just about writing smart contracts. Most of your time goes into figuring out what should and shouldn't be on-chain.
Take a medical records system. Yes, you could put everything on a blockchain. But do you really want treatment notes visible to anyone who can read the chain? Probably not. So you end up with a hybrid where the blockchain holds verification hashes and access permissions, while actual records stay in encrypted databases.
This kind of architecture decision-making is what we spend most of our lab time on. You'll work through real requirements from local healthcare providers, logistics companies, and government digitization projects. Some of them don't need blockchain at all, and figuring that out is just as important.
We also cover the operational side. How do you explain gas fees to a client who just wants their app to work? What happens when you need to update a contract that's already deployed? How do you handle key management for users who aren't tech-savvy?
What Former Students Say
Linh Nguyen
Backend Developer, LogiTech Solutions
I came in expecting crypto talk and left understanding distributed systems. Now I'm working on a freight tracking platform that uses blockchain for checkpoint verification. The hands-on projects here matched what I actually needed to know for the job.
Thu Pham
Systems Analyst, Ministry of Education Technology Unit
The program helped me evaluate whether blockchain made sense for our certificate system. Turns out it did, but not in the way we originally planned. The instructors pushed us to question every design choice, which saved us from building something unnecessarily complicated.
Next Cohort Opens for Applications in July 2025
Classes start in September. We'll have an information session in early August where you can talk to current students and see the lab setup. Or just reach out if you want to know more about the curriculum.
