TRON DAO announced the addition of four elite universities to its TRON Academy program for the 2025–2026 academic year: Dartmouth College, Princeton University, Oxford University and Cambridge University. The expansion builds on an existing network that already includes Columbia, Harvard, Yale, MIT, Cornell, Imperial College London and UC Berkeley.
With this move, TRON Academy now spans 11 of the world’s most recognized institutions, establishing an academic footprint that few blockchain projects can match.
TRON Academy is a global educational initiative designed to provide university students with hands-on blockchain development experience. The program partners directly with student-led blockchain clubs on each campus, offering technical resources, mentorship, incentives and real-world Web3 exposure.
Some of the participating student organizations represent active communities exceeding 2,500 members, reflecting a growing institutional focus on decentralized infrastructure, tokenized finance and AI-integrated applications.
The four new collaborations include Dartmouth Blockchain, Princeton Blockchain Club, Oxford Blockchain Society and Cambridge Blockchain Society. Each group will receive support for workshops, educational programming and career-focused events delivered in both in-person and hybrid formats.
For TRON DAO, early engagement with top-tier universities represents a strategic approach to talent development. As blockchain and artificial intelligence become formalized academic disciplines, more students are building structured career paths around Web3 innovation from the outset.
According to TRONSCAN data as of February 2026, the TRON network has surpassed 366 million total user accounts and processed more than 13 billion transactions. The ecosystem holds over $23 billion in total value locked, while USDT supply on TRON exceeds $85 billion, positioning the network as a high-volume, actively utilized blockchain infrastructure.
The expansion of TRON Academy into Oxford, Cambridge, Princeton and Dartmouth signals a long-term commitment to developer growth rather than short-term momentum. While the effectiveness of the initiative will ultimately depend on execution, the institutional lineup underscores TRON DAO’s strategic focus on cultivating the next generation of Web3 builders.
