Products & Services

CryptoConexión is an education platform specialized in Web3 and decentralized economy. Since launching in October 2021, we have become a trusted resource, delivering more than 100 free tutorials and 2 in-depth directories, featuring prominent collaborators, interviews with influential figures, profiles of major projects and personalities.

StellarEdu by CryptoConexión is a way for us to contribute to the Stellar ecosystem, by building a transformative educational initiative addressing the common challenges faced by developers, often uncertain about where to begin when learning new technologies. Language barriers further exacerbate these challenges, as many educational resources are primarily available in English. StellarEdu is an educational initiative designed to empower developers from beginner to advanced levels by providing comprehensive training in both Stellar and Soroban, in Spanish and Portuguese.

What is StellarEdu by CryptoConexión? It is a structured learning program comprising beginner-friendly tutorials, workshops, and instructional videos in Spanish and Portuguese. It covers a spectrum from fundamental concepts to advanced skills, guiding developers through the intricacies of Stellar and Soroban. It provides a starting point for developers and guides them through the complexities of Stellar and Soroban.

What problem does it solve? StellarEdu presented by CryptoConexión solves the issue of entry barriers that builders, developers, and users encounter in the dynamic world of blockchain technology. Many developers struggle to find accessible resources in their native languages, hindering their progress. Our program empowers developers, and builders in general, who speak Spanish and Portuguese, by providing clear, locally available, and comprehensive learning materials, fostering proficiency and innovation.

Activities: StellarEdu leverages a carefully curated curriculum, including hands-on tutorials structured in different learning paths, workshops, instructional videos, and events to guide learners through the practical aspects of working with Stellar and Soroban. From understanding the basics to developing advanced skills, participants gain a holistic understanding of these technologies, fostering proficiency and creativity in blockchain development. For the development of some of these activities, we will have the collaboration of Vottun, which is a service provider approved by SDF. The details of all activities to be carried out in the program are outlined in this deck, named 'StellarEdu Content Plan' where we define each of the deliverables.
