Delivered on-chain and in the metaverse, this course is taught by UNIC faculty and NFT influencer & collector @punk6529. They will be joined by industry leaders, including Balaji Srinivasan, Fred Wilson, Chris Dixon, and Beeple. The course’s first iteration, in October 2022, attracted more than 20,000 online students.
