Prof. Aleksander Berentsen, dean of the business faculty, said, “Vitalik’s blockchain innovations are game changing. He has blazed a trail for science and industry to follow and work together.”
In an announcement, the faculty said it is honoring as "exceptionally creative and innovative thinker who has played a decisive role in shaping the digital revolution of our time."
Further, Vitalik's research interests in game theory, economic incentives and governance are shared by the faculty, as well as its Center for Innovative Finance, it said.
Vitalik said in the announcement:
"I’m honored to have received an honorary doctorate from the University of Basel, the oldest University of Switzerland. Switzerland is well known for its innovative blockchain research.”
When just 19 years old, Vitalik published the article "Ethereum: A Next Generation Smart Contract & Decentralized Application Platform," which turned out to be "groundbreaking for the decentralization of software applications," the faculty said.
His research to date has been published without an academic degree and without any connections to a university.
The news comes as ethereum is preparing for a new upgrade, ethereum 1x, that proposes to scale the platform in the short to medium term.
