Credentialing for builders
Oracle Academy issues soulbound certificates for completing rigorous tracks on chains, protocols, smart contracts and applications. Earn them. Aggregate them. Have employers verify them in one query.
Build on Bitcoin — master Script, Taproot, the Lightning Network, Ordinals/Runes, and the emerging Bitcoin smart contract landscape including BitVM and Taproot Assets.
Understand how assets move between blockchains — bridge designs, security models, and how to protect against the largest exploit category in crypto history.
From the mathematical primitives underpinning every blockchain signature to the NIST-standardised algorithms that will replace them — this track builds a rigorous, end-to-end understanding of classical and post-quantum cryptography. You will learn why elliptic curve cryptography is vulnerable to quantum attack, how CRYSTALS-Kyber, CRYSTALS-Dilithium, SPHINCS+, and FALCON work at the lattice level, and what a realistic migration path looks like for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and production key-management systems.
Prove your smart contracts correct — coverage-guided fuzzing with Echidna and Foundry, symbolic execution with Halmos and Hevm, formal specification with the Certora Prover (CVL), and the K Framework's EVM semantics.
Master the intent-based trading paradigm. Learn how declarative intents replace imperative transactions, how solvers compete to fill orders, and how protocols like CoW Protocol, UniswapX, and Across protect users from MEV while enabling cross-chain execution.
Understand how blockchains achieve agreement — from Byzantine fault tolerance and Nakamoto consensus to Ethereum's LMD-GHOST+Casper, Tendermint, Solana's PoH, and the economics of running validators.
