So, you’ve heard the buzz about blockchain, Web3, and crypto—and now you’re ready to dive in. But where do you actually start if you're a developer entering the world of decentralization?
🔑 Core Concepts to Learn:
- Cryptography: Hashing, public/private keys, signatures
- Consensus: PoW, PoS, how blockchains agree on data
- Smart Contracts: Self-executing logic that powers dApps
🛠 Must-Know Tools:
- Remix – Fast way to write/test Solidity in your browser
- MetaMask – Browser wallet to connect with dApps
- Hardhat – Local dev/testing framework for smart contracts
- Ethers.js – Connect your frontend to the chain
Start by deploying a simple contract on a testnet (Goerli or Sepolia). It’s the best way to learn.
