101 Blockchains and the business of being believed

Learning blockchain is one challenge. Showing someone else what you know is another. 101 Blockchains has built a business around the distance between the two.

A course ends. A certificate appears. Then comes the awkward part: somebody else has to care. For 101 Blockchains, that small moment after the final lesson helps explain the business. The company teaches a complicated technology, but it also packages learning into something a colleague, manager, or recruiter can recognize. The classroom and the professional profile are closer together than they first appear.

The 30-second read
  • Self-paced blockchain, Web3, and AI training for individuals and teams.
  • Role-based paths turn a large catalog into a sequence of lessons.
  • Annual subscriptions separate course access from certification access.
  • Digital credentials give completed learning a life beyond the classroom.

The useful version of a complicated subject

Consider the title of one masterclass: Blockchain Like a Boss. Its premise is explaining the blockchain ecosystem to your boss. There is a pleasing bit of realism in that. A technology can be technically impressive and still need somebody to explain, in a meeting, why the organization should spend time on it. Teaching that conversation is a different business from teaching syntax.

101 Blockchains occupies that overlap. Its audience includes developers, certainly, but also consultants, product managers, business analysts, and people working through enterprise adoption. A broad education marketplace asks learners to navigate many subjects. This specialist organizes its shelf around blockchain work, then offers routes through it. The attraction is a shorter distance between an unfamiliar term and a relevant assignment.

Take the Certified Web3 Professional curriculum. Alongside blockchain fundamentals, it includes demonstrations of a blockchain explorer and MetaMask. It also addresses fraud, compliance challenges, and smart contracts. The intended audience includes entrepreneurs and digital creators as well as product and program managers. That combination matters: the person choosing an application needs to understand its risks, even when somebody else writes the code.

The teaching format combines recorded lectures, whiteboard explanations, demonstrations, and interactive exercises. Learners can revisit material around work. It is a practical arrangement for someone whose interest starts with an existing job rather than a plan to return to full-time education. The important purchasing question becomes quite specific: does this curriculum address the decisions that person actually makes?

A certificate with somewhere to go

Founded in 2019 by Aviv Lichtigstein, 101 Blockchains reports a community exceeding 100,000 professionals. Community is the operative word; that figure should not be read as a paid-subscriber total. Its public testimonials include people identified as working at Accenture, Deloitte, and Commerzbank. Those accounts describe workplace use, while the company’s own logo strip carefully says it is trusted by employees at prominent organizations.

One revealing operational choice appears in Accredible’s customer story. 101 Blockchains wanted to manage different certificates, recognize members, and let learners share achievements professionally. It connected Accredible with its Thinkific learning platform. The reported result was increased LinkedIn attention, without a published numerical uplift. The lesson for another education business is straightforward: make the record of achievement easy to carry away.

“Our learners are excited to share their credentials on LinkedIn.”

That creates an interesting alignment. A learner wants recognition; a school wants discovery. A shared credential can serve both. The mechanism depends on completing something worth sharing and reaching people who care about it. The useful thing to copy is the removal of friction between finishing a course and displaying the result. A badge alone cannot supply the underlying expertise.

There are two separate checks here. The CPD Certification Service lists 101 Blockchains as provider 16655, giving an external reference for its continuing professional development offering. The company’s credential-verification service lets someone check an award using a credential ID. Accreditation concerns the training; verification concerns the record. A hiring conversation still has to establish what the applicant can do.

Read the annual bill

The business sells individual certification programs and subscriptions, with plans for teams. At the prices advertised when checked on October 25, 2026, Standard was $25 per month billed yearly; Premium was $75. The distinction is consequential. Standard opens the course library and learning paths. Premium adds access to the certification programs, a dedicated study counselor, and a customized study plan.

For an employer, the product extends beyond access. Team administrators can assign objectives, monitor activity, and review progress reports. Customized tracks help align study with particular roles. That is a useful distinction when evaluating training: buying a library answers what employees may watch; arranging assignments and follow-through addresses what the organization wants them to learn.

The name stays. The syllabus moves.

The catalog has widened. In his December 2023 message, Lichtigstein described additions in fintech, IoT, and AI. Today the site offers an AI Pro plan alongside blockchain training. Its advanced real-world asset tokenization course reaches into legal wrappers, custody, governance, and liquidity. These are subjects an institution must consider when moving from a tokenization idea toward an operating design.

This gives 101 Blockchains a recognizable market position: specialist technology education with a business-facing vocabulary. Coursera offers university and industry blockchain courses; other certification providers offer competing credentials. The sensible comparison is the actual syllabus, assessment, teaching format, and support. The brand on the certificate should follow that inspection, rather than substitute for it.

The company also uses events to connect its classroom with practitioners. Its partnership page names organizations including R3, Oracle, and cLabs, while a February 2025 announcement described an official partnership with Paris Blockchain Week. Its services page offers enterprise blockchain consultancy and keynote speaking. For learners, that wider activity provides another way into the subject: a use case, a specialist discussion, or an explanation aimed at a business audience before a formal course begins.

Start with Monday’s problem

A prospective learner can begin with the free blockchain course, choose a concrete task, and compare the relevant path against it. A manager might want to explain a use case; a developer might need to understand a security issue. Then inspect the exercises and make time to do them. The company’s useful promise is structure. Whether that structure earns its price depends on what the learner brings back to work.
