LimeAcademy - Blockchain education

What LimeAcademy - Blockchain education does

LimeAcademy is a blockchain and Web3 education platform based in Sofia, Bulgaria, created by LimeChain, a blockchain development company that has operated since 2017 and completed over 150 blockchain projects. The company delivers two products: a 9-week, invite-only, cohort-based bootcamp (capped at 20 participants per cohort with personal mentorship from LimeChain engineers) and a self-paced Web3 Programming Fundamentals course on Ethereum and Solidity development. The bootcamp is provided free of charge to students, with LimeChain subsidizing training as a structured talent pipeline; top performers receive employment offers at LimeChain upon graduation.

The curriculum covers Ethereum development, Solidity smart contract programming, Web3 frontend integration, and industry-standard tools including Hardhat, Foundry, Remix IDE, OpenZeppelin, Ethers.js, Substrate, and MetaMask. Students build real-world projects such as NFT marketplaces and ERC-20 token bridges, with weekly validation tasks and an 80% assessment threshold required for graduation. Distribution is community-led via Discord, blog content, YouTube, social channels, and periodic in-person events such as Web3 Happy Hour meetups and workshops.

LimeAcademy is a subsidiary of LimeChain, registered as LimeAcademy LLC, with 7 employees and operations in Bulgaria. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the bootcamp is free, and the self-paced course is the only directly monetized line. The business model is therefore primarily a cost-funded talent development initiative for LimeChain rather than a standalone revenue-generating education business.
