EDUCATION FOR THE BLOCKCHAIN AGE

OUR STORY AND MISSION

The Global Blockchain Initiative (GBI) is on a mission to provide educational resources to onboard the next one billion blockchain citizens – from everyday users to the ones shaping the most exciting use cases of tomorrow.

GBI was formed with the purpose to create a global and inclusive, participatory blockchain community committed to positively impacting people’s lives through education and the application of the technology.

"We believe that education is the catalyst for change: Technology developments happen globally but the impact needs to take place locally."
