Blockchain and Crypto Insights from Ivan Liljeqvist

Ivan Liljeqvist — better known online as “Ivan on Tech”—is a Swedish developer and entrepreneur who made a name for himself by breaking down blockchain topics in a way anyone can understand. His YouTube channel grew rapidly, attracting hundreds of thousands of subscribers who appreciate his clear, no-nonsense approach to explaining how crypto and decentralized systems actually work. But Ivan isn’t just a content creator—he’s a builder at heart. In 2021, he co-founded Moralis, a platform aimed at helping developers launch Web3 apps faster, without getting bogged down in backend complexity. The startup caught the attention of big names like Coinbase Ventures and raised $53 million in funding to fuel its growth.

As the crypto market cooled in 2023, Moralis had to make tough calls, including trimming its team. But Ivan didn’t back down—he shifted gears, focusing even more on education and supporting developers. He continues to lead Moralis Academy, previously known as Ivan on Tech Academy, which has taught over 60,000 students worldwide. His goal remains the same: make blockchain understandable and accessible, especially for people who want to build the future of Web3. Whether through video tutorials, developer tools, or online courses, Ivan is still showing up, helping others navigate and shape the decentralized internet.
