Token2049 was born in late 2023 from the recognition that the blockchain industry faced a critical skills shortage. Despite growing demand for blockchain talent, quality education remained fragmented, expensive, and inaccessible to many.
Founded by blockchain educator Dr. Sarah Kim and Ethereum developer Marcus Chen, Token2049 emerged from their combined experience teaching at universities and training developers at leading blockchain companies. They saw the need for structured, practical education that bridges theory with real-world application.
Today, Token2049 has educated over 50,000 students worldwide, with graduates working at major blockchain companies, launching successful DeFi protocols, and leading the next wave of Web3 innovation.
