BNB Chain Kicks Off University Dev Roadshow at NYU Today
New York, US, March 24th, 2026, Chainwire
In partnership with YZi Labs, the four-stop campus tour visits NYU, UPenn, Harvard, and UC Berkeley this spring
BNB Chain, one of the most active blockchain protocols worldwide, and YZi Labs today kick off the BNB Chain Dev Roadshow with its first stop at New York University (NYU), opening a four-city university tour designed to engage student developers and introduce them to the tools, resources, and opportunities available for building onchain.
The roadshow was announced last week and visits four of the country’s leading universities between March and April 2026, with each stop structured as a working session for students – featuring live presentations, practical developer resources, and open Q&A with the BNB Chain and YZi Labs teams.
“Universities are where the next wave of onchain builders is forming, and we want to meet them where they are. Starting at NYU today, the Dev Roadshow is about giving developers at any stage a direct line to the tools, the teams, and the context they need to start shipping projects onchain. We are opening the floor to real questions, and making it as easy as possible to get started.” said Nina Rong, Executive Director of Growth at BNB Chain.
She continued: ‘’At the same time, we will be speaking at DAS NYC on the institutional track. The same week we are on campus with students who are curious about building on blockchain, we are also in the room with the institutions helping to shape where this industry goes. BNB Chain is built for both, and our presence in NYC reflects exactly that.”
Sessions will cover developer tooling and infrastructure, emerging opportunities across onchain applications, as well as the broader BNB Chain ecosystem. Attendance is open to students, developers, and anyone interested in building in Web3.
