How Know Your Cryptos came to life
The idea for Know Your Cryptos first came to me in 2022. At the time, I was studying at the University of Nicosia for an MSc in Blockchain and Digital Currency, so the project remained in its early stages while I focused on my studies.
Still, the concept stayed with me: could learning about the large and sometimes confusing crypto ecosystem be made more visual, interactive, and fun?
Years later, I returned to the idea and began experimenting with a Python and Streamlit quiz application. The small prototype gradually grew to include more crypto projects, more game modes, and more ways to learn while playing. Eventually, I decided to rebuild it as a full mobile application.
Know Your Cryptos brings together several long-running interests: education, technology, computer science, programming, cybersecurity, and blockchain and cryptocurrency.
I have worked in education for more than two decades while continuing to study and work with technology. My graduate studies include Curriculum and Instruction as well as the MSc in Blockchain and Digital Currency.
KYC is independently designed and developed, and it continues to evolve as both a game and a learning project.
