The premierblockchain educationfor the next billion.
Learn Web3 from the people building the rails. Self-paced courses, verifiable on-chain certificates, real mentorship, and a live ecosystem to build in — from your first wallet to shipping a dApp.
My Learning Path
Web3 Builder Track
Easily accessible
Learn anytime, anywhere, on any phone. A platform built for how people actually get online.
Free to start
Quality education without the paywall. Master the fundamentals before you ever pay a cent.
Flexible study time
Self-paced courses that fit around work and school. Set your own speed, keep your streak.
Real mentorship
Personalized guidance from working engineers — plus a WhatsApp community that never closes.
Whoever educates the next 10,000 builders defines the future of money.
The next decade of financial infrastructure will either happen to communities, or be built by them. SoonPay Academy exists to make it the second one — with the people, the rails, and the policy literacy to back it.
The youngest population on Earth
A median age near 17, with 75%+ under 30. Web3 skills compound for decades when they're taught at this age — so we teach it early, and we teach it right.
Closing the remittance cost gap
Diaspora families lose 6–8% to legacy corridors. Blockchain rails compress that to fractions of a percent — money that should reach families, not middlemen.
Mobile-first, bank-light
Mobile-money penetration is 70%+ while formal bank accounts sit under 30%. Wallets meet people where they already are — a phone, a SIM, a stablecoin.
Export-quality engineering
Remote Web3 development pays 5–20× local wages. Training engineers to a global standard creates wealth at home — without forcing anyone to emigrate.
A currency hedge & policy literacy
USD-pegged stablecoins are a real-time hedge against local volatility. An educated public also shapes the regulation that will govern crypto and CBDCs.
The people layer
Not a side project. This is the human layer of the same protocol our remittance corridor runs on.
From your first wallet to shipping a dApp.
100+ self-paced courses across three tracks. Every course is hands-on, project-based, and ends in a verifiable certificate.
