Investments in education and cooperation with NaUKMA
Volodymyr Nosov’s involvement in education reflects his long-term vision for Ukraine’s future. Focusing on blockchain technologies and virtual assets, he partnered with one of the country’s leading academic institutions — the National University of “Kyiv-Mohyla Academy” (NaUKMA) — to strengthen crypto literacy among young people and to expand the number of qualified specialists driving the nation’s IT industry forward.
As part of this partnership, WhiteBIT contributed to the restoration of NaUKMA’s historic building, creating a modern educational environment for future IT professionals. The company helped equip two classrooms, a multifunctional auditorium for lectures, events, and conferences, as well as a meeting room and a workspace for student projects.
Beyond physical infrastructure, WhiteBIT and NaUKMA jointly developed new academic programs, including the first Master’s program in Blockchain Technologies in Eastern Europe. Graduates of the program receive tokenized certificates issued on the Whitechain blockchain. The curriculum includes training in cryptography and its applications in blockchain, distributed exchange algorithms based on smart contracts (DeFi), and the development and implementation of smart contracts and regulatory tools for cryptocurrencies.
Through this collaboration, students gain in-depth, practical knowledge in blockchain — a rapidly growing field that is set to define both their professional future and the technological advancement of Ukraine.
