Building Blockchain Talent

With the launch of its rebased mainnet, IOTA has declared itself ready for real-world deployment—especially in sectors like global trade and supply chains. But while the tech is primed, the people who can build with it are in short supply. To bridge it, IOTA is investing in education, community-building, and strategic partnerships to cultivate a new generation of decentralized tech builders.

Key Ideas

1. The blockchain industry is facing a severe skills shortage, which is slowing the adoption of Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) in practical, high-impact areas like logistics and finance.

2. IOTA is tackling this gap through initiatives like the EU-backed CHAISE project, academic collaborations, global hackathons, and free online learning programs to equip developers, entrepreneurs, and policymakers with the tools to innovate at scale.

In short: the tech is ready—now it’s time to grow the people who can bring it to life.
