CRYPTO HOGS
The future of money runs through Fayetteville.
Crypto Hogs is UARK's student org for crypto, blockchain, and what comes next: for the curious, not the experts. No experience needed. Every major welcome.
150+ members · Tuesdays 5:30 to 7:00 PM CT
Next block: Sep 22 · speaker night with the CEO of ANVL Research Labs
Crypto is changing money, markets, and even Arkansas law. You'll work with it whether you plan to or not. Better to understand it now, together, than late, alone.
Four ways in.
Pick yours.
Whatever brought you here, a headline, a paycheck question, or a startup idea, there's a lane for it.
Speaker nights
Founders, executives, miners, and policy leaders. On campus and on screen, taking your questions live. Free and open to every UA student.
Education
Meetings that make blockchain make sense, through to what quantum computing means for the cryptography holding it all together. No prerequisites, no jargon walls, no finance degree required. Bring questions.
Networking & careers
Connections with investors, builders, and people working full-time in the industry, plus internship pipelines and conference trips.
Policy & innovation
Arkansas is writing crypto law right now. We track it, meet the people writing it, and put students in the room where it happens.
One Fayetteville.
We co-hosted PizzaDAO's global Bitcoin Pizza Day with Stand With Crypto Arkansas: free pizza, zero gatekeeping, worldwide press.

The people behind the coin.
Student-led and officer-run, with one shared conviction: Arkansas shouldn't watch the future of money from the bleachers.

Common objections, answered.
The questions everyone asks before their first Tuesday, settled on-chain.
0x01 Do I need to own crypto?
No. Most members start with zero. Curiosity is the only prerequisite, and it stays that way.
0x02 Do I need to be a finance or CS major?
Every major is welcome. Crypto needs marketers, writers, policy minds, designers, and healthy skeptics just as much as it needs engineers.
0x03 Does it cost anything?
$0. No dues, no paid course, no upsell, ever. Free pizza, on the other hand, happens regularly.
0x04 Is this financial advice?
Emphatically not. We study the technology, the industry, and the policy around it. Your money stays yours and your decisions stay yours.
0x05 I know nothing about crypto.
Perfect. The whole club is built for the curious, not the experts. Come confused, leave slightly less confused. Want a running start? Start here.
Put your brand in the room.
150+ students who chose to spend their Tuesday nights on crypto. If they're your future users, hires, or customers, this is the room.
Put your founder or team on our stage. Talks are framed as education and open to every UA student, so the room is full and the audience is real.
