This initiative is designed to demystify Ethereum and Arbitrum for the Indian masses, offering non-technical audiences a comprehensive understanding of Arbitrum, and how to engage and contribute to the ecosystem.
The mission of Namaste Arbitrum is to bridge the knowledge gap, foster deeper engagement with the Arbitrum blockchain, and empower the next generation of Indian blockchain developers and contributors. The initiative comprises two key components: a 10-episode educational series available in six native Indian languages and nationwide roadshows at top-tier educational institutions.
The educational series, tailored for both beginners and advanced learners, will cover a broad spectrum of topics, from the fundamentals of Ethereum to advanced Layer 2 scaling solutions like Arbitrum. It will provide detailed insights into Arbitrum’s core components, including Arbitrum One, Nova, Stylus, and BoLD, as well as its governance structures and how individuals can contribute to the ecosystem.
In addition to the online series, Namaste Arbitrum will bring blockchain knowledge directly to top-tier educational institutions across India through interactive workshops. The workshops will be held in prestigious engineering institutions such as the Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT) in Delhi and Madras, and Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS) Pilani and Goa campuses.
These workshops aim to provide in-depth education on Arbitrum and its governance, offering practical insights into how students can actively contribute to the Arbitrum ecosystem. Sharan Nair, Co-founder of PYOR, said in a statement, “Namaste Arbitrum is more than just an educational initiative; it’s a movement to engage and empower Indian students in the Web 3 space, boosting India’s contributions to the blockchain ecosystem”.Manugotsuka from the Arbitrum Domain Allocator team said, “During the progression of the Project, we validated the team’s talent, making it one of the best projects we approved in the Domain Allocator program.”By empowering students with knowledge and practical skills in blockchain technology, Namaste Arbitrum aims to cultivate a new generation of innovators and leaders who will drive India’s growth in the global Web3 ecosystem.
