“We have taken great care in adopting a platform that is open for both consumers and producers of content. Users are free to suggest new topics they would like to learn about and also submit their work for review and sharing alongside Binance produced contents on Academy,” further added Changpeng.

“The most elementary building block of revolution, after all, is knowledge,” he adds. “Given global reach and inherent advanced nature of users we have attained through the Binance ecosystem, we have the responsibility of propagating blockchain and crypto knowledge to the rest of the world.”
