Blockchain governance just got a major upgrade. Polkadot Academy is launching an executive program that’s turning heads in Bali – a three-week intensive plunge into the world of blockchain policy and governance. It’s not for everyone. Just policymakers, regulators, and top professionals who actually want to lead in this space instead of playing catch-up.
The program isn’t your typical boring conference where everyone nods off after lunch. Core Polkadot engineers and global blockchain governance leaders run the show. They’re teaching real frameworks that matter – decentralization mechanics, consensus models, and on-chain decision processes. No fluff. Just the tools to shape policy that works. Like smart contract security, these governance frameworks are essential for building robust decentralized systems.
Beyond buzzwords – real frameworks taught by experts who’ve built what you’re regulating
Who should apply? Government types dealing with digital infrastructure. Executives tired of pretending they understand blockchain. Developers building protocols and dApps who need to understand governance implications. The mix creates dialogue across sectors that’s actually useful. Imagine that.
The curriculum goes deep. Participants learn governance fundamentals, then move to strategic policy design. Advanced tracks cover protocol development and dApp infrastructure using Polkadot tech. Case studies? They’ve got those too. Real-world problems with actual solutions.
Applications open until August 12th, 2025. The selection process is competitive. They want people with backgrounds in policy or technology – not just anyone with a passing interest in crypto. The program fee is $2,000 for selected participants. Spaces are limited. That’s intentional. Some scholarships might be available if you’re exceptional and from an underrepresented region.
When participants finish, they’ll know how to craft governance initiatives, shape policy, and understand decentralization’s impact on global systems. They’ll evaluate governance models that actually function. Revolutionary concept.
The program partners with academic institutions, public sector organizations, and industry players. It draws expertise from across Web3 communities and features guest lectures from regulators and entrepreneurs who’ve been in the trenches.
For those serious about blockchain governance leadership, this is the perfect opportunity to join a global network of over 500 PBA graduates who are leading innovation across the Polkadot ecosystem. No more excuses. Time to learn or get left behind.
