Student-run blockchain research at Bocconi.
We publish a monthly market review and a weekly digest, write research on where blockchain meets finance and regulation, and build projects with Web3 companies. Founded by Bocconi students in 2017.
Recent publications
Every month since November 2024 our Market Department has published a report covering macro, markets and DeFi. Alongside it, members write longer research on regulation, tokenisation and industry use cases.
Four departments
You join one department for the semester. Each has its own output and its own head; Market and Research feed Media and Communications, which carries the work outside and brings in partners and speakers.
Market
Tracks the crypto market and publishes a monthly review and a weekly digest: macro drivers, major tokens, ETF flows, stablecoin regulation, DeFi. The digests feed the Media and Communications department's channels.
Output: monthly review, weekly digest.
Projects and Development
Members with ideas and members who can code build them together: internal products, hackathon entries, and scoped work for partner companies. A project manager leads each team.
Output: shipped products, hackathon entries, partner deliverables.
Media and Communications
Runs Instagram, LinkedIn and Telegram, and builds partnerships with banks and companies, brings speakers to campus for events, and runs the aperitivos that hold the community together.
Output: a live feed of the association's work, partnerships, on-campus events.
Research and Education

We take new members twice a year, at the start of each semester. Applications are reviewed by department; you do not need prior blockchain experience for any department except the developer roles in Projects and Development. Research and Education is built for people starting from zero.
