Hege Academy

Reddit is the birthplace of Hege, and with that we have welcomed a lot of new faces to the on-chain scene. We realize that bad actors and malicious activities are rife once you venture outside of centralized exchanges. More than ever, we feel that it is part of our responsibility to ensure that our beginners use best practices when exploring the on-chain side of crypto.

Hege Academy is an educational platform designed to introduce you to the world of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology, with a special focus on the Solana network. This course is ideal for both beginners and intermediate investors who want to understand the fundamentals of crypto, explore different blockchain networks, and dive deeper into the innovative features of Solana.

As the project continues to grow, the Hege Academy will increasingly become a focus point for us.
