What is USN?

As a web3 innovator, we believe that it is both important and beneficial to work together with academic institutions to support educational efforts, drive research ambitions and foster talent growth.

This is why we are bringing together a network of university blockchain working groups and DeFi ecosystem actors in the USN. The USN provides students access to market knowledge, tech know-how, professional networks and hands-on career opportunities.

  • Access to professional networks
  • Hands-on DeFi experience
