Blockchain education at U.S. universitiesIn a press release shared with Cointelegraph on Aug. 22, Mousebelt announced an initiative with UC Davis, UC Los Angeles and UC Santa Barbara to support blockchain-focused education, research, and entrepreneurship.

Mousebelt plans to invest $500,000 for student projects and raise another $500,000 to fund researchers directly, supporting up to five early-stage companies with up to $100,000 in investment through an UC Blockchain Entrepreneurship program.
"We aim to help these universities become a driving force for innovation in the blockchain space, as well as provide students and researchers with the opportunity for both theoretical and industry experience."
More resources for researchersThe initiative also aims to connect researchers with industry insiders to work on alternate cryptographics, quantum computing resistant cryptography, distributed systems research for blockchains, blockchain peer-to-peer networks and proofs-of-concept for general business use cases.
MouseBelt also announced plans to fund a second UCLA blockchain engineering course.
Lastly, MouseBelt also claimed that it will try to identify outstanding startup founders on campus and provide a unique educational experience exclusively for early-stage companies from these campuses and mentor up to five startups on technical, academic, and business best practices.
