The First Web3 Academy Meetup
As an educational project by AIN, Web3 Academy helps future builders gain skills, connections, and real-world experience in Web3. On June 27, we hosted the very first Web3 Academy Meetup — and it was such a great day! Held at KC Grad in Belgrade, the event brought together students from all four cohorts, our incredible partners, sponsors, and friends of the Academy for an afternoon of learning, celebration, and connection.
While not everyone could make it, we were glad to spend the day with those who did, whether for the full event or to drop in. Your presence made a difference, and we truly appreciated having you there.
Insightful Lecture on Validators with Lido CSM
The day kicked off with a fantastic lecture by our lecturers Vukašin Tasić and Miloš Todorović, who walked us through the process of operating validators with Lido CSM, breaking down everything from keys to rewards and giving us a peek into the infrastructure behind it all.
Celebrating Achievements and Partnerships
We also took this moment to celebrate achievements. Certificates were awarded to students who completed the Ethereum Mastery Program, and we handed out special certificates of appreciation to our partners and sponsors, whose support has been instrumental in helping us build and grow Web3 Academy.
Looking Forward, Building Community and Connections
Branislav Đalić and Boris Vidaković then shared a glimpse into what’s coming next, including exciting plans for the launch of the Belgrade Operator Community (BOC). Web3 Academy is taking a short summer break, and then we are back in September.
Throughout the event, there was plenty of time to catch up, ask questions, share ideas, and strengthen connections. We loved seeing conversations spark between students, partners, and lecturers alike — and we’re excited about the collaborations that might grow from them.
Thank You to Our Sponsors and Partners
Huge thanks to our amazing sponsors and partners — Mighty Study, Lido Finance, Daedalus, ETH Belgrade, Center Win, Singidunum University, and ECD — your contributions have been instrumental in building high-quality programs and creating new opportunities for students.
