Tezos India has partnered with experience-based learning platform called Code8 to host a crypto-focussed bootcamp in the country.

Over 300 students will participate in the bootcamp, where they will face quizzes and open themed blockchain projects. Cash prizes of Rs. 15,000 and Rs. 10,000 will be awarded to the winners. In addition, promising project creators could also bag grants of upto $30,000 (roughly Rs. 23 lakh) via the Ecosystem Growth Grant (EGG).

Blockchain adoption and training programmes are expected to become hot among developers in India in the coming days, industry insiders expect. The technology is already making inroads in day-to-day developments in India.

In December 2021, for instance, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched blockchain-based digital degrees at the 54th convocation ceremony of Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT) Kanpur.

The same time, the Telangana government inked deals with crypto exchange CoinSwitch Kuber and innovation management firm Lomos Labs to mark the beginning of a blockchain education-focused initiative in India.
