Why Alumni Chain Lab Exists

Apple Developer Academy alumni follow many paths across product, design, engineering, and business.

Alumni Chain Lab exists to give alumni interested in blockchain and crypto a shared place to build real products together, learn from each other, and stay engaged over time.

Ways to Participate

Alumni Chain Lab is designed to be flexible. Members can participate in different ways depending on their time, interests, and experience.

Build — Contribute code, prototypes, smart contracts, or experiments to active projects such as Slowlyy.
Review — Review pull requests, architecture decisions, security considerations, or documentation.
Mentor — Share experience, give feedback, or guide other alumni through technical or career challenges.
Observe — Follow discussions, explore the codebase, and learn at your own pace, no pressure to contribute immediately.

Projects Within Alumni Chain Lab

Alumni Chain Lab hosts one or more active projects where members learn by contributing to real, production-level systems.

Slowlyy — Founding project of Alumni Chain Lab, used as a real-world crypto wallet for learning about security, delay mechanisms, architecture, and UX.
Additional alumni-led projects may be added over time, proposed and reviewed by members of the lab.

Alumni Chain Lab is not limited to one product. The lab exists to support learning through multiple real projects over time.

How Contribution Works

Alumni Chain Lab is built around real, practical collaboration. Members can propose ideas, features, designs, or experiments for projects within the lab, such as Slowlyy.

Contributors are encouraged to explore, build, and submit their work. Approved contributions are reviewed and merged into the project’s repository, with clear credit given to the contributor.

Whether a feature is shipped, iterated on, or later removed from production is a separate product decision. In real software teams, features evolve, change, or get retired over time, this is part of the learning process.

What matters is that the work is real, reviewed, and visible. Approved contributions can always be referenced as part of a professional portfolio, regardless of the feature’s lifecycle.

Express Interest

Alumni Chain Lab is open to Apple Developer Academy alumni who are interested in blockchain, crypto systems, and security-focused engineering, and who want to learn by participating in real projects.

This is an alumni-led learning initiative. It is not a job offer, not an investment opportunity, and not a token or fundraising project.
