ποΈ Our Degenifesto
The First Decentralized School for Builders, Innovators, and the Onchain Generation Learn β± Build β± Lead β± Own At UDS, you're not just learning Web3 β you're shaping it.
π What Is UDS?
United Degen States (UDS) is a Web3-native, onchain-first educational ecosystem that combines open-access learning with real-world building and decentralized governance. Itβs not a university. Itβs not a bootcamp. Itβs an open, self-evolving launchpad for digital citizens of the decentralized economy.
Our goal is simple but radical: equip anyone, anywhere with the knowledge, community, and resources to become a contributor in the future of Web3 β and then launch their own project, role, or venture directly from within the system.
UDS is permissionless, borderless, and community-governed. If you show up, you belong.
π§ Why UDS Exists
The traditional education system is slow, gated, and often irrelevant to emerging technologies. Web3 moves fast β and it demands an equally adaptive, transparent, and action-first model of learning.
UDS was created to:
Democratize access to high-quality, up-to-date blockchain education
Close the gap between learning and real-world building
Create a truly global, borderless school governed by its learners
Transform students into contributors β and contributors into founders
We donβt produce graduates β we launch builders.
