It’s been a busy week for the OAK Network team, so we wanted to share this quick update of what we’ve been up to, where we’ve been — and most importantly where you can find us next!
Visiting Professor Chris Li at the PBA
OAK Network Founder/CEO Chris Li joined the Polkadot Blockchain Academy to teach a rigorous course on the XCM cross-chain communication standard.
Founded by Dr. Gavin Wood , the most recent PBA was hosted in collaboration with the University of California, Berkeley with a curriculum covering disciplines such as economics, governance, game theory, cryptography, peer-based and distributed network systems, systems and API design, and much more.

We’ve got a tweet here for more info, but here are a few pictures of the great turnout and vibes.
Packed house at the PBA Closing Party!
