For Russian speakers, BNBChain cooperates with the Blockchain Center, a research center operating based on the biggest technopark in Central Asia - Astana Hub, with the support of the National Bank of Kazakhstan - the Center for the Development of Payment and Financial Technologies.

"It is a very interesting initiative and a good opportunity for developers from the CIS countries to improve their skills, rise to a new level and build a career in the field of WEB3. We created a Blockchain Center based on Astana Hub in June of 2022, and it has already launched some international educational projects. Zero2Hero is one of those. And we hope that its launch will give a new impetus to the development of blockchain projects in Kazakhstan and the region as a whole," said Magzhan Madiyev, CEO of Astana Hub.

BNBChain Zero2Hero Builders Series - it is a 6-month online program consisting of a six-week boot camp preparation, a four-week hackathon, and a six-week training in an incubator for developers of all levels. Registration for the first stage is open from February 13 to March 3, 2023. Bootcamp will last from March 6 to April 14. The program covers the concepts of blockchain technology from scratch. The program aims to train students, current developers, and people interested in  Blockchain / Web3 development. Thus, a graduate of the Zero2Hero boot camp will be able to develop smart contracts, decentralized applications (dApps), DeFi protocols, and other blockchain-based products. Up to 200 students will be selected for the Russian-language Bootcamp training program. It is expected that after 6 weeks of online lectures with experts, they will create blockchain projects with the program mentors and other participants. After successful completion of Bootcamp, students will receive a specially designed NFT certificate, and will also be able to participate in the hackathon and incubator of the Zero2Hero Builders Series program.

The English cohort will be conducted in partnership with Encode, and the partners for the Chinese cohort are Blockchain Academy.
