Web3 Dev Huddle
The internet is on the cusp of a major transformation, with Web3 poised to reshape how we interact, transact, and own. Fueled by blockchain technology, Web3 promises a more decentralized internet, where power shifts from corporations to users.
According to metrics reported by TechCrunch and Bloomberg, as secondary market activities pick up, VC investment in crypto startups reached $2.52 billion across 603 deals in Q1 2024 alone, citing “positive effects from legal wins last year from Ripple and Grayscale”, “positive sentiments around decentralized finance (DeFi) on Solana”, and “demand increasing for the biggest cryptocurrency post SEC spot bitcoin ETF approvals in the US” as contributing factors. Users are here too. More than half a billion people had become cryptocurrency users or owners by the end of 2023, according to cryptocurrency exchange Crypto.com.
For founders and aspiring founders in Web3, now is the time to build. This MOOC is designed to guide founders and aspiring founders through ideating and building Web3 projects under the mentorship of leading founders, investors, and researchers from both industry and academia. We hope to equip students with the knowledge and confidence to articulate the potential of Web3 technology, develop innovative Web3 project ideas, build and deploy basic Web3 applications, and navigate the evolving Web3 landscape. This course is your gateway into the world of Web3. Get ready to learn, build, and become a part of the future!
NTU I&E x HackQuest MOOC
NTU I&E x HackQuest MOOC is free and open to all individuals interested in Web3. The MOOC is designed to be universally accessible, featuring an online educational model that includes one to two-hour weekly sessions, both on- and off-campus. This approach ensures accessibility for an international audience and allows participants to review the content at their convenience.

This MOOC is also designed to prepare students in Singapore for the Port63 Challenge Web3 Track that will take place shortly after the end of the MOOC.
Beyond MOOC: The Port63 Challenge
The Port63 Challenge, a proud flagship of NTU I&E, is a unique initiative that goes beyond the conventional educational approach, allowing participants to apply their knowledge, gain fresh perspectives, and analyse real-world challenges.
The second edition is set to commence in August 2024, with completion of the MOOC as a prerequisite in the Web 3.0 Track. Teams comprising members from Singapore's Institutes of Higher Learning and Polytechnics, along with a mandatory NTU-affiliated member, are strongly encouraged to participate. This competition offers cash prizes, funding, and mentorship to support the realisation of innovative ideas. Stay tuned for more details!
