Over 20 DeFi projects have urged U.S. universities to integrate DeFi and cryptocurrency news into their core curricula, according to TechFlow. The “1inch Forward” campaign, led by 1inch and including Aave Labs and Dune, aims to launch a campus tour on March 27 at the University of Pennsylvania. The letter calls on institutions to teach blockchain architecture, DeFi mechanisms such as AMMs, and provide hands-on experience. Projects have pledged to assist in course design and offer internships. A DeFi exploit remains a key risk emphasized in the campaign’s educational focus.

According to The Block, more than 20 decentralized finance (DeFi) projects have jointly issued an open letter urging top U.S. universities to integrate DeFi and cryptocurrency education into the core curricula of their business and law schools. This initiative is framed under the "1inch Forward" campaign led by 1inch, with participants including the Blockchain Association, DeFi Education Fund, The Solana Policy Institute, Aave Labs, and Dune. The campaign plans to launch a campus tour at the University of Pennsylvania on March 27. The open letter recommends that universities include courses on blockchain architecture and decentralized technologies in their core curricula, teach students DeFi mechanisms such as automated market makers (AMMs), and provide hands-on opportunities to engage with real DeFi systems. Participating projects have offered to assist in curriculum design and provide internships and research fellowships.
