University Blockchain Research Initiative (UBRI): Boosting blockchain education and research.

Since its conceptualization, blockchain technology has witnessed continuous and rapid development, bringing profound changes to computer science, law, and economics. In 2008, the initial blockchain system was merely a growing list of records linked together using cryptography. Today, however, blockchains have become the foundation of most digital currencies, robust cloud computing platforms, and dependable databases for tracking supply chain information.

Since UBRI’s inception in 2018, Ripple has funded more than 40 university partnerships, supporting more than 500 research projects and new or modified course curricula for more than 280 university courses.
