New Cardano Fundamentals course goes live on Binance Academy

Binance Academy has partnered with the Cardano Foundation to launch a new online course titled Cardano Fundamentals, as per details shared with Finbold on September 25. 

The three-hour program, available for free on the Binance Academy platform, aims to broaden access to blockchain education and provide learners with an introduction to Cardano’s (ADA) ecosystem.

Blockchain education for beginners and advanced learners

The course, delivered through the Cardano Academy, covers Cardano’s origins, its Ouroboros proof-of-stake protocol, staking mechanisms, the extended UTXO model, and features such as native assets, NFTs, governance, interoperability, and scalability. It also explores use cases across decentralized finance, gaming, and supply chain management.

Structured as a series of video modules supported by case studies and expert commentary, the course is designed to help participants understand Cardano’s research-driven development and its role as what proponents describe as a third-generation blockchain.

“Education is critical for the growth of blockchain ecosystems, where learning about diverse blockchain networks and their real-world applications with accessible and research-driven courses is essential to further development and participation,” said Stephen McAllister, team lead at Binance Academy. “By working with the Cardano Foundation to launch the Cardano Fundamentals course, we’re empowering learners to explore Cardano’s unique design and its real-world impact”.

Frederik Gregaard, CEO of the Cardano Foundation, added: 

“Whether you are an enterprise leader, a startup founder, or simply curious about blockchain, this course is your entry point to understand how Cardano is helping shape the infrastructure of the future. Education is central to the Foundation’s mission. Through the Cardano Academy, this initiative with Binance Academy aims to broaden access to research-informed learning on a global scale, helping to address a persistent barrier to innovation: the shortage of qualified talent.”

The Cardano Fundamentals course is currently available in English and is part of Binance Academy’s broader educational push, which includes outreach programs, partnerships, and multilingual content reaching learners in over 30 languages.
