Token Engineering Academy

Today I would like to feature the efforts of Token Engineering Academy, which was founded in 2020 by Angela Kreitenweis who — together with her team — contribute to the education of aspiring token engineers. I know Angela from my time in Berlin. Her mission from the beginning was to provide free education to grow a token engineering community to develop this emerging discipline further working both with practitioners and scientists. TE Academy’s purpose is to foster cross-disciplinary collaboration and “knowledge sharing as a superpower.” Angela has worked in early-stage startups since 2008, both at the investor and startup side. In 2018, she started running the first Berlin meetups with token projects and cryptoeconomic researchers and in 2019 she organized the Token Engineering Global Gathering during Berlin Blockchain Week before she went on to create TE Academy in 2020.

TE Academy is the first educational institution of its kind dedicated to token engineering with an interdisciplinary perspective.

Their Study Season is a new cohort-based online program dedicated to learning the fundamentals of token engineering. The Study Season program starts April 25. More information here.

The Fellowship Program is a $10K prize awarding researchers and practitioners pushing boundaries in cryptoeconomics, tokenomics, Web3 incentive design, or token-based governance and sharing their knowledge during the Study Season. Learn more about how to participate in these programs by visiting their website.

Since the launch of TE Fundamentals, TE Academy has issued more than 1000 NFTs as proof of knowledge, and proof of contributions to the discipline. Students can proof their track-record on-chain, while others can monitor the development of the educational activities on-chain with publicly available data.
