Learn and get the most out of your crypto experience Research and Expertise Genius Academy aims to give everyone the knowledge to make educated decisions. It is crucial to remain on the forefront of technology, apply this knowledge in real life applications and design content to explain complicated concepts to the community. RESEARCH We value the scientific approach IOG (ex IOHK) takes that makes the Cardano blockchain efficient and reliable. We are contributors to IOG and working to help improve the ecosystem by participating in research programs with their teams. We are open to any opportunity for collaboration on research topics. EXPERTISE “Innovation is the market introduction of a [...] novelty.” (Schumpeter). For blockchain to be adopted by the masses, there needs to be real-life use cases. Learn the different way blockchain can create business opportunities, from ISPO financing, blockchain integration, NFT deployment and more! Let's discuss how we could help YOU develop business opportunities. COURSES We will soon offer a wide range of online courses. We are working with world-class universities to develop certified modules and offer a diploma.

State of Cardano Q2 2023 by Messari

We sincerely thank our amazing Community for their long-term support of Genius Yield, Genius X, and the projects in the Genius X accelerator program. Your support makes the development of these projects possible and helps expand the offering of the whole ecosystem. We are Cardano.It’s time to move on to the next step: Due to the evolving nature of the regulatory landscape, we will not be hosting a second Multi-token ISPO. This aligns with our commitment to approaching regulatory compliance proactively to maintain the long-term health of our project.Hence, we will be shutting down GENS2, GENS3, and GENSX in epoch 403. If you are currently delegating to GENS2, GENS3, or GENSX, please redelegate to another stake pool as soon as possible.The last snapshot in these pools will be on epoch 403 (on March 31st). Please move your delegation before this date. Delegators will not earn rewards after epoch 403. If want to know how Cardano proof-of-stake protocol works, it’s <a href="https://academy.geniusyield.co/articles/cardano-stake-pools-explained">explained in this article of Genius Academy</a>However, we want to do our part by securing the network and contributing to decentralization by keeping GENS1 stakepool active. If you would like to show your continued support, please consider delegating to GENS1. Delegators will earn ADA with 0% margin fees.What’s Next?We encourage our delegators to support single stake pool operators to aim for a healthy decentralization of the Cardano Blockchain and kindly invite our community to redelegate as soon as possible in GENS1 or one of our Ambassadors’ pools, all of them single stake pools. If you would rather research the current ISPO options, check out Maestro’s ISPO marketplace found <a href="https://www.gomaestro.org/marketplace">here</a>.Pete- Learn Cardano Podcast is running ADAOZ: aims to provide optimal uptime and rewards while supporting the Cardano ecosystem as a single SPO and providing educational content, resources, and tools to help grow Cardano.

Maestro will assist Genius Yield in running&nbsp;the bot blockchain infrastructure, including nodes and database synchronization, for smooth operations during this hackathon. Accordingly, developers taking part in the hackathon won’t have to worry about the Cardano infrastructure and will be able to focus primarily on coding and the competition.During this Hackathon, Genius Yield will be one of the main sponsors, taking the opportunity to educate and highlight the benefits of DeFi to the world. In the spirit of learning and education, the goal of the Hackathon is to learn and compete in a fun way, all while creating valuable connections and professional networks. It shall be open to all LATAM students and teams.The two-day Hackathon will be from September 3 to 4, 2022. The opening ceremony will be held in the Aula Magna of the UTN, Buenos Aires Regional Faculty (Av. Medrano 951, Buenos Aires, Argentina) at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, September 3, and concluded on Sunday, September 4 at 6:00 p.m.This event aligns with Genius Yield’s education goals since it promotes and expands developers’ knowledge of Plutus and Haskell programming languages. Haskell, a functional programming language, is the anchor of Plutus and Marlowe smart contract languages in Cardano. By being a functional language Plutus, that’s used in Genius Yield’s smart contracts, guarantees high-quality code assurance translating to better security.The event shall be live-streamed by three of crypto and Cardano YouTube influencers, Rodrigo and Sebastián from&nbsp;<a class="au km" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5DoxUThQW6HueUcb0aEL1w" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Individuo Digital</a>, and Martín from&nbsp;<a class="au km" href="https://www.youtube.com/c/LatinStakePools" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Latin Stake Pools</a>.
