Building Real Infrastructure for Decentralized Networks
We design training programs that prepare engineers for actual blockchain architecture challenges. Not theory. Real protocol development and network security you'll deploy in production.

How We Build Network Engineers
Our approach focuses on system-level understanding. You work with actual nodes, debug consensus failures, and optimize throughput under real conditions.
Protocol Deep Dives
Spend weeks understanding how consensus mechanisms actually work. We break down Tendermint, HotStuff, and proof-of-stake systems line by line. Then you implement variations yourself.
Network Security Labs
Run attack simulations against test networks. Learn to identify vulnerabilities in peer discovery, message propagation, and state synchronization before they hit production.
Infrastructure Projects
Build monitoring systems, validator management tools, and automated deployment pipelines. The kind of infrastructure that keeps networks running 24/7 without manual intervention.
Eight Months of Intensive Technical Work
Starting September 2025, you'll join a cohort that spends 25-30 hours weekly on distributed systems work. This isn't part-time learning. It's structured like an engineering job.
You'll rotate through different specializations every six weeks. One cycle focuses on consensus algorithms. Another on cryptographic primitives. Then network architecture, storage optimization, and cross-chain communication protocols.
Recognition from Protocol Teams
Several blockchain foundations recognize our training standards. Graduates earn certifications that infrastructure teams actually respect because the work speaks for itself.
Distributed Systems Engineering
Covers Byzantine fault tolerance, state machine replication, and network partition handling. You'll demonstrate competency through live system troubleshooting under failure conditions.
Blockchain Infrastructure Specialist
Focuses on validator operations, network monitoring, and automated deployment systems. Includes security auditing skills for smart contract platforms and layer-2 solutions.
What Actually Happens During Training
The program follows a clear progression. Each phase builds on previous technical skills.
Foundations
Network programming, cryptographic primitives, and distributed system basics through hands-on exercises.
Protocol Work
Deep implementation study of major consensus protocols with custom variations you build yourself.
Infrastructure
Building monitoring, deployment, and management tools for networks with real-world constraints.
Production
Working with testnet deployments, handling incidents, and contributing to actual protocol codebases.
Taught by Engineers Who Built These Systems
Our instructors have worked on protocol teams at major blockchain projects. They've debugged consensus failures at 3 AM, optimized throughput for mainnet launches, and designed security models that protect billions in assets.
They bring that experience directly into training. When something breaks during exercises, they've probably seen the same failure pattern in production and can walk you through the exact debugging process they used.
This isn't academic computer science. It's systems engineering from people who maintain networks that can't afford downtime.
Lennart Iversen
Lead Protocol Instructor
Most training programs teach you blockchain concepts. We teach you how to keep a network running when validators start behaving unexpectedly and you need answers in minutes, not days.
Next Cohort Starts September 2025
Applications open in May. We accept 28 participants per cycle and fill spots quickly. If you have strong programming fundamentals and want to work on real distributed systems, this program might fit.
