Unchained said the partnership will focus on sound money principles. Bitcoin’s core values are at the center of this initiative. Unchained believes the partnership can empower students with the right skill set to influence the future of finance. 
The UATX is committed to truth, which contradicts the values of traditional finance (TradFi). The difference in values has sparked the need to campaign for BTC adoption. As a result, the partnership is exploring fundraising and community engagement sessions to raise awareness.
