Back again with another drop of updates, shoutouts, and spotlights for the Atrium community.
Let’s jump in.
Crypto has spent billions trying to "onboard developers."
But too often, we burn through them instead—one-off grants, no follow-up, no staying power.
We launched Atrium to take a different approach.
Not weekend hackathons. Not vanity metrics. Real follow-through.
In the past year, we've run 4 UHI cohorts.
→ 2,000+ applicants
→ 700+ onboarded
→ 200+ hooks shipped
→ $150K+ in prizes
Your projects are even turning into real companies.
Now we’ve launched our site—atrium.academy—to reflect the model that’s working.
Same bones:
→ The curation of an accelerator
→ The spirit of a hackathon
→ The intensity of a bootcamp
Just packaged up with a sharper story and more ways for you—and future devs—to plug in.
🧵 Here’s the launch thread on X
👀 Second protocol partner announcement coming soon
Yes you heard that right, we somehow became a more web2 and web3 brand in the same week :)
Join the new Farcaster atriumacademy channel
Why: Farcaster is growing rapidly (again) and is a great “Little Channel” to invest in as a highly engaged onchain community.
Action: post GM and/or share your hook page
P.s. We’ll soon start working with teams for a “hook of the week” discussion but we encourage you to break the ice and share a bit about your project yourself :)
Follow the new LinkedIn school page
Why: We want developers to be proud of their education.
Action: Add Atrium Academy to your “Education” or “Experience”. Link to your onchain certificate to “Licenses & certificates”
P.s. Shoutout to Karan and Yurii for doing this already!
UHI4 is wrapped–and it was our biggest cohort yet.
71+ devs. 52 hooks. $47k in prizes.
Huge thanks to Uniswap Foundation, Eigenlayer, Arbitrum, Flaunch, and Brevis.
🧵 Head over to our thread to catch a full rundown of the event and celebrate the prize-winning hooks from the UHI4 Demo Day.
For the full list of all hooks built at UHI since its inception last year, head over to our Hooks Directory, where you can sort hooks by cohort and prizewinner status!
Whether you shipped solo or in a team, whether you won or just pushed something bold—we’re proud of you.
You shipped a hook. Now what?
Whether you're building a company or want to score a grant, the new Grad Pathways Guidebook breaks it all down. If you’ve got ambitious goals for your project and your future, Atrium Academy and the Uniswap Foundation are excited to help you achieve them.
As a first step, we’ve officially launched Graduation Pathways for UHI alumni. This Guidebook is your first step in understanding opportunities for brand exposure, UF grants, and securing funding for your company.
📚 Read the Guidebook and let us know what else you’d like to see. We’re building this with you.
Got something you’re building or launching? We want to brag about you. Hit us up at team@atrium.academy and we’ll feature it in our next drop.
Until next time,
Team Atrium
