Perk Description: 

Surge Passport Holders are invited to apply to the Polkadot Blockchain Academy four week program taking place in Berkeley, California at UC Berkeley, from July 10th until August 10th, 2023.  This program was developed through a collaboration membership with the Berkeley Center for Responsible, Decentralized Intelligence.

This program is ideal for experienced blockchain builder, or a Web2 developer looking to move to. All costs for the Berkeley 2023 cohort are covered by the Academy (except travel).

The course will feature a month-long curriculum of lectures and workshops on Web3, Rust, Substrate, and Polkadot from the lead researchers and engineers from Web3 foundation, Parity Tech, and the wider industry.

About Polkadot Blockchain Academy:

The Polkadot Blockchain Academy is an academic program founded by Polkadot founder Gavin Wood designed to train the next generation of top blockchain engineers. The Academy is a powerful illustration of the Polkadot community’s strong commitment to education.

The goal of the Academy is to take talented engineers who are at the beginning of their Web3 journey, teach them everything they need to know to become a brilliant Web3 engineer, and provide them with an opportunity to join and contribute to the Polkadot ecosystem — all in an intensive but incredibly fun month-long academic program.

After a successful first wave in Cambridge in Summer 2022, and an even bigger second wave in Buenos Aires earlier this year, the Polkadot Blockchain Academy is ready to head for California for the first time this coming summer.

Prospective students can already apply to join the Academy’s third wave cohort at Berkeley, California, USA, which will start July 10th, 2023.

Have questions?

Here are some answers to commonly asked questions. Did we miss something? DM us on Twitter to ask anything else.

Yes. ~50 million list registrations have happened on PREMINT without issue. When you sign in with PREMINT, you only are validating ownership of the wallet address. PREMINT does not get any permissions to perform transactions and does not have any way of withdrawing anything from your wallet.
Premint has been used by some of the top artists and collections in the NFT ecosystem, including XCOPY, Coldie, DeekayMotion, Cool Cats, Known Origin, Async Art, Shaq, and over 25,000 more.
Signing is the only way we can truly know that you are the owner of the wallet you are connecting. Signing is a safe, gas-less transaction that does not in any way give PREMINT permission to perform any transactions with your wallet.
PREMINT saves your wallet and social info as a part of the registration step, so you can disconnect everything afterwards and your entry is still valid.
As far as PREMINT is concerned, yes, but the project owner might check that you still own the token before finalizing the list.
If you fully registered, the only way your wallet wouldn’t be on the list of registered wallets is if the project removed it. PREMINT never deletes wallets from the list for any reason.
If you don’t know what wallet your Discord or Twitter are connected to, just go to https://premint.xyz/disconnect and you can force-disconnect them.
While creators are welcome to name their PREMINT projects whatever they like, we choose to use the term "allow list" or "access list" vs "whitelist." "Whitelist" could be considered exclusionary language, and the spirit of web3 is about inclusion.
