I'm excited to share significant news. [EasyA](https://www.easya.io/), the world’s leading Web3 education app, has formed an exciting partnership with Ripple.

The core focus of this partnership is to help educate and empower the next generation of developers, enhancing their ability to utilize the [XRP Ledger (XRPL)](https://xrpl.org/) and its latest features.
The XRPL, a reliable and stable decentralized layer 1 blockchain, has been trusted globally by businesses and developers for over a decade. Together, EasyA and Ripple are committed to advancing the adoption of various innovations.

EasyA is renowned for its Web3 learning platform, with its huge community of over 750,000 developers, founders, and visionaries, and deep partnerships with over 300 of the world’s best university blockchain clubs (from Harvard to MIT to Cambridge and beyond). 

Founders from EasyA have been funded by top venture capital firms like a16z, and accelerators like the prestigious Y Combinator. By launching 7 new learning challenges on the EasyA app featuring the XRPL’s incorporation of Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) programmability, the community will gain access to this massive pool of talent, and show them the opportunities unlocked by this groundbreaking technology. 

This new learning campaign with EasyA is being launched under the hashtag #60DaysOfXRPL, and will build up to a flagship EasyA x XRP Ledger in-person hackathon in April 2024. This hackathon will invite the top developers from the #60DaysOfXRPL learning challenges to pitch their startups in London to win $25,000 in prize money. On top of this prize pool, top builders will gain access to additional funding, mentorship and grant opportunities within the XRP Ledger ecosystem.

“Launching educational courses on the upcoming integration of EVM programmability into the XRPL through the EasyA app is a very special moment,” said Phil Kwok, Co-Founder of EasyA. “Not only will the EasyA community be able to learn about the XRPL in bite-sized, mobile-first modules, but they will also have the opportunity to pitch their ideas and get funded at our EasyA x XRP Ledger hackathon in April. Some of Web3’s hottest new startups have come out of EasyA hackathons, and this is the chance to get the next one built on the XRPL’s integration with EVM.”

“XRPL’s incorporation of EVM is a major step forward to bring in a fresh cohort of developers,” said Markus Infanger, SVP of RippleX. “Our partnership with EasyA taps into their strong crypto community, helping us bring another informative resource for developers globally to learn and build on the XRPL. We are excited to see the emergence of the next major DeFi project on the XRPL.”

Ripple and Peersyst have developed an [EVM sidechain](https://dev.to/ripplexdev/evm-sidechain-devnet-is-now-available-for-testing-and-development-3ec8) to bring smart-contract programmability to the XRPL. This addition complements XRPL’s existing advanced features, including a native DEX. The XRPL has made significant inroads in bringing the benefits of blockchain to the world by offering capabilities around tokenization, settlement, and liquidity to enable a broad array of decentralized app use cases. 

Developers excited about being some of the first people to deploy on the XRPL’s integrations with EVM chains can do so end-to-end, all from their phone via the EasyA app. To sign up [visit](https://links.easya.io/links/gotoapp) the EasyA app, which is available for download on iOS and Android.
