HackQuest and Gaia Launch Gaia Learning Track to Onboard Web2 Developers into Web3 & AI

Preview

Gaia is a leader in decentralized AI, advancing technology with a focus on user privacy, transparency, and control through a peer-to-peer network. Decentralized AI shifts away from centralized control, enhancing data ownership, security, and accessibility while enabling censorship-resistant applications.

HackQuest, an all-in-one Web3 developer education platform, has partnered with Gaia and launched the Gaia Learning Track. In addition to HackQuest and Gaia’s collaboration on developer education, the Gaia Learning Track prepares developers from both Web2 and Web3 backgrounds to build using decentralized AI technology. This partnership will continue to grow through future initiatives, including global hackathons, meetups, co-learning camps, and other community-driven activities.

The Gaia Learning Track is a free, self-guided online course designed to introduce prospective Web3 developers and founders to the Gaia ecosystem through practical applications of AI and decentralized AI in Web3 contexts.

Participants will explore key features and roles within the Gaia ecosystem, followed by a detailed analysis of its core architecture, including nodes, domains, and the Gaia protocol. Through guided projects, participants will develop practical skills such as integrating GaiaNet with widely used large language model (LLM) applications, creating AI-powered cryptocurrency market assistants, and building personalized AI agents.

The Gaia Learning Track is structured to accommodate different learning styles, offering a flexible, self-paced approach that is ideal for both independent learners and those who thrive in a semi-structured educational setting. HackQuest’s platform supports this process with features like a personal dashboard for tracking progress, setting goals, and a mission center that gamifies learning with quests and milestones.

For those preferring a more interactive learning experience, HackQuest provides free, cohort-based, instructor-led co-learning camps. These camps foster a sense of community and are complemented by a comprehensive post-learning system that includes meet-ups, hacker houses, and hackathons, enabling participants to further develop their skills in real-world environments.

Gaia is a leader in decentralized AI, tackling the critical issues that traditional centralized AI systems face, such as censorship, bias, and privacy vulnerabilities. By prioritizing user control, data security, and scalability, Gaia offers industries like finance and healthcare a secure, transparent, and customizable infrastructure. This empowers developers to create tailored AI solutions that meet specific industry needs.

Gaia delivers its services through nodes powered by AI models and proprietary knowledge, with a smart contract-based revenue-sharing system that fosters a fair and sustainable ecosystem. This approach drives both innovation and collaboration, benefiting users, developers, and node operators alike.

Gaia's partnership with HackQuest further strengthens its mission by expanding the developer ecosystem. Through their joint initiative, the Gaia Learning Track, developers gain the skills needed to navigate decentralized AI networks, focusing on practical applications such as running GaiaNet nodes and building AI-driven solutions. This collaboration is driving the adoption of decentralized AI and reinforcing Gaia’s growing ecosystem.

HackQuest and Gaia’s collaboration has already established a strong foundation through a series of successful events in Nigeria, India, China, Brazil, Malaysia, and Singapore. A highlight was the $50K Living Knowledge Systems Hackathon, co-hosted by HackQuest and Gaia in September 2024, which attracted over 700 participants and 200 project submissions.

Building on the momentum, HackQuest and Gaia will host biweekly town halls and launch a dedicated community platform to foster ongoing collaboration, with a goal of establishing 50 developer communities worldwide. In each city, Gaia plans to deploy 100 new nodes, secure 10 domain integrations, and engage 200 new developers. To support these objectives, HackQuest will continue to onboard Gaia developers through monthly co-learning camps, empowering them to unlock the full potential of decentralized AI technology.

Together, HackQuest and Gaia are cultivating a global developer ecosystem that is pushing the boundaries of decentralized AI. By creating educational resources and promoting innovation, they are leading the way in this emerging field. Join the Gaia Learning Track and be part of this transformative journey.
