TRON DAO has officially expanded its global university outreach by bringing the TRON Academy initiative to the University of California, Berkeley, wrapping up a successful on-campus workshop on November 14, 2025.
Top-Tier Campus Network Keeps Growing
The Berkeley event adds another prestigious name to TRON DAO’s expanding roster of academic partners, which already includes Harvard, Princeton, MIT, Yale, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, and Imperial College London. The rapid addition of these institutions underscores TRON DAO’s aggressive push to embed blockchain education into the world’s leading universities.
Hands-On Learning for the Next Wave of Web3 Builders
The workshop, hosted for around 30 Berkeley students, was led by TRON DAO Community Spokesperson Sam Elfarra. Participants explored the TRON ecosystem in depth and examined fast-emerging sectors such as:
- Payment Finance (PayFi) – instant settlement and efficient cross-border transfers
- Decentralized Finance (DeFi) – real-world applications and protocol evolution
- Direct comparisons between blockchain networks and legacy financial infrastructure
The session highlighted both the limitations of traditional systems and the clear advantages TRON brings in speed, cost, and scalability.
Bridging Theory and Real-World Implementation
Beyond lectures, TRON Academy connects students directly to funding, developer tools, mentorship, and professional networks—everything needed to turn ideas into deployable blockchain solutions.
“After back-to-back events at Harvard, Columbia, and now Berkeley, the excitement on campus is undeniable,” said Sam Elfarra. “TRON Academy is here to transform that passion into real projects and future leaders who will accelerate mainstream adoption.”
Next Steps and Ongoing Commitment
Post-workshop, the TRON DAO team met with Berkeley’s blockchain club leaders to map out deeper partnerships and gather insights on emerging campus trends for 2026 programming.
