Yıldız Technical University Blockchain Club is a student community that learns, builds and shares around blockchain, DeFi, zero-knowledge and open-source technologies.
YOU'RE THE NEXT BLOCK.
Trainings, hackathons and teams. No experience needed, curiosity is enough.
We make blockchain something students at YTÜ can learn, build and share. No experience required, just curiosity. We learn and build together.
Hands-on sessions on blockchain, DeFi and zero-knowledge.
We build open-source projects together.
An active community on GitHub, X and at events.
We grow our events and projects through corporate partnerships.
We want to make blockchain accessible on campus — opening up a space where students turn theory into practice and learn and build together.
Our goal is to shrink the distance between idea and execution. Through workshops, open-source projects and technical content, we help our members ship real work in days, not weeks.
The principles that guide every decision we make, from welcoming members to shipping projects.
We ask questions, test assumptions and turn learning into a habit. Curiosity at every level is welcome here.
Great work comes from diverse perspectives. We build an environment where everyone has a voice and collaboration is the default.
We don't stop at slides — we write code. We turn what we learn into open-source projects and working applications.
We want knowledge, resources and process to stay open. Transparency and open source are at the heart of how we work.
