Meta Pool, a multi-chain liquid staking-based DAO, has closed a new partnership with The Blockchain Center of the University of Zurich. The new initiative will allow students from Latin America to study and learn about the crypto industry in the Blockchain Center of the University of Zurich.
Following the alliance, It’s the first time that a European university has entered into a partnership with a DAO, having made history in the crypto space. The academic partnership is a joint effort between both entities aiming to expand the cryptocurrency industry knowledge among the Latin American communities.
Claudio Cossio, co-founder of Meta Pool DAO, said “We believe that frontier markets are where blockchain mass adoption will begin, and empowering scholars through the Summer School program at the University of Zurich is the best way to bring education to our region through an immersive program.
It also reflects the fundamental principles of a DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization), which are transparency, participation, and social responsibility.
The Blockchain Center of the University of Zurich has been developing different initiatives aiming to develop cryptocurrency industry knowledge in Europe.
Some of the previous initiatives have been “Deep Dive into Blockchain Summer School” and the Advanced Studies Certificate (CAS) in Blockchain.
The Blockchain Center of the University of Zurich is a leading academic initiative focused on interdisciplinary research and education in the field of blockchain technology. Since its establishment, the center has been a key point of contact between academia, industry, and policymakers, promoting a deep understanding of distributed trust systems.
Meta Pool’s previous initiatives
Meta Pool is a liquid staking solution that allows users to participate in the cryptocurrency staking process while maintaining the liquidity of their assets. Its design allows it to become an ecosystem that includes the Protocols of NEAR, Ethereum, Solana, Aurora, and Q Network.
The DAO has been working on different initiatives to support the development of education and cryptocurrency projects worldwide.
Recently, Meta Pool launched the first fund aiming to support the expansion of crypto projects located in frontier markets.
The fund’s objective was to provide entrepreneurs in Latin America with the opportunity to develop and start working on their crypto proposals. The initiative was carried out through a grants fund composed of various financing rounds known as mpDAO Grants, which recently completed round number 6.
