Proposal description
Project Overview
VIDEO: Introduction and Current State
Dash Academy is a free, self-paced learning platform that guides developers through their first interactions with Dash and into building on Dash Platform testnet. Short lessons pair direct explanations with source-code questions and practical challenges such as creating an identity, registering a name, and publishing application data.
It gives new developers a clear route from curiosity to a working application. It can also serve as an onboarding track for hackathons, helping participants learn Dash, prepare their development environment, and start building without requiring organizers to teach the fundamentals live.
Other blockchain ecosystems, including Avalanche and Stellar, already use structured education programs to attract and train developers. Dash Academy brings that model to Dash, reducing onboarding time and growing the pool of developers who can build applications, developer tools, and educational resources for the ecosystem.

Development and Copywriting (Max)
The starting point of our project included designing the most important part of the flow, which is lesson pages. After some iterations we landed on an informative but comprehensive option of the design, after that we started working on a landing page with achievement badges. I’m also working in tandem with our developer to quickly implement components into the web app.
September plan
Development and Copywriting (Max)
For September we need to expand our landing page, add more variations for different lesson pages. Add more achievements and make the profile page design. Which also should include the achievements “Evo” Progress details.

Development and Copywriting (Max)
- Developed Tier 1 curriculum: 9 lessons about Dash concepts with an interactive quiz at the end of each:
- What is a blockchain?
- What is Dash?
- What is Dash Platform?
- Why build on Dash?
- DAPI and Proofs
- Identities
- Wallets, keys, and testnet
- Data Contracts
- Documents
- Implemented authentication via passkeys and synchronization of progress via Dash Platform. The details of the implementation can be viewed here and the data contract is live on testnet.
- UI improvements, especially on mobile

- Designed the general lesson page template
- Designed basic components set
- Designed starting landing page
- Designed initial achievement badges
September plan
Development and Copywriting (Max)
- Develop Tier 2 curriculum: approximately 9 lessons, each with a verification task to deploy something on Dash testnet
- Develop profile page: “evolution” concept, where the player’s avatar changes the more exp they get (by completing lessons), on-chain certificates
For September we need to expand our landing page, add more variations for different lesson pages. Add more achievements and make the profile page design. Which also should include the achievements “Evo” Progress details.
- Design more lesson variations
- Add more component types
- Design More Achievement badges
- Design Profile Page
- Design Achievement progress page
