Dunamu, the operator of the virtual asset exchange Upbit, announced on April 2 that it held a completion ceremony for the fourth cohort of "UpTo," Upbit's university student supporter team, at Spigen Hall in Gangnam, Seoul.
This fourth UpTo cohort consisted of a total of 36 university students. Over approximately three months, they served as ambassadors to build trust in the virtual asset market. Notably, this cohort focused more on team projects rather than on individual achievements.
During the program, the supporters completed two individual online missions and nine team online missions, as well as an offline "Campus Attack" mission that helped them develop practical skills. For the online missions, they created content to promote Upbit's investor protection activities and introduce various virtual asset concepts, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and stablecoins. For the offline "Campus Attack" mission, each team visited universities, planned, and operated Upbit promotional booths.
Awards were also presented during the completion ceremony. Three teams were recognized based on a comprehensive evaluation of their content planning abilities, mission results, and level of participation. The grand prize was awarded to the "Beast" team, which received a cash prize of 2 million won. The "Don't Ask Student ID" team and the "NFS" team each received the excellence prize, with a cash prize of 1.5 million won awarded to each team.
Yoon Sunjoo, Chief Brand Impact Officer (CBIO) of Dunamu, said, "I was impressed by the fresh and diverse ideas and achievements related to digital assets demonstrated by the fourth cohort. I look forward to seeing talented young people shape a healthy culture of digital asset investment."
