PBA CAMPUS BALI

PBA Campus Bali 2025 – Learn Blockchain in Paradise

What Is It?

PBA Campus Bali is a three-week, intensive, in-person Blockchain Technology bootcamp organized by the Polkadot Blockchain Academy, taking place August 24 – September 14, 2025, on the beautiful island of Bali. Aimed at developers with existing blockchain knowledge, the program offers deep-dive tracks into both protocol-level engineering (Rust) and DApp development (TypeScript), led by core Polkadot engineers and alumni contributors. The format is hands-on and cohort-based, featuring lectures, late-night debugging sessions, Real-World Asset use cases, a Pitch & Mentor program, as well as a dedicated Policymakers & Leaders track. Thanks to Polkadot Treasury funding, attendance is free and includes lodging and meals, though admission is competitive and requires interviews in place of coding assignments

This event is hosted by the Polkadot Blockchain Academy (PBA), started by Gavin Wood, one of the creators of Polkadot. So far, PBA has trained almost 500 developers from around the world!

Everything — classes, housing, and meals — is free. You only need to pay for your travel.
