What is GUW?

Hosted by Ontology in collaboration with multiple high-profile collaborations. Our aims with this program are to help educate young talent about the magic of blockchain with hopes to attract high-potential developers to the Ontology world. In doing this, we hope to help develop our infrastructure and ecosystem as we continue to propel blockchain forward. Furthermore, we feel an obligation to share our knowledge and experience with the generation that will most benefit from the potential of blockchain.

Why attend GUW?

As you may have seen in previous articles, our workshop curriculum is packed full of interesting and useful expertise that will leave attendees with more insight into the inner workings of Ontology, and blockchain itself. But that’s not all. We wanted to go above and beyond the norm, so we have created the Klein Bottle Challenge to encourage young entrepreneurial developers to collaborate with us and the Global Talent Program to invite both budding and established developers to interact with our ecosystem.
