Building a Developer Empire: Unitas et Innovatio
Friends, Romans, builders! We're on the cusp of a new era in developer collaboration. Let's focus on: Documentation cult: Aiming for Stripe-level docs in Web3 Open Source: Democracy in Action Trials of the Hackathon: Lessons from blockchain assemblies DevRel metrics: Tracking what truly matters in Web3 Our goal: Build a lasting developer empire through creation and community. Together, we'll shape the future of decentralized technology.
Challenges Developing and Maintaining Open Source Software in Web3
Producing high-quality developer tools for the Web3 ecosystem is a challenging task that requires significant effort (and funding). Many of the best and most used tools started out as a lone hackers side-project, and then evolved into longer-standing projects by being absorbed into a larger companies efforts. In this talk, we'll share RV's open-source tool development story, and discuss what a better future could look like.
Building FullStack apps on Ethereum - SpeedRunEthereum3
In this session, we’ll build a fullstack app on Ethereum using Scaffold-ETH v2. We’ll follow along SpeedRunEthereum, a set of challenges that helps you quickly get hands-on with building on Ethereum. Together, we’ll create a simple Decentralized Staking App—an app that lets users lock up their tokens & earn rewards. This session is great for both beginners and more experienced devs looking to level up their skills and get practical with Ethereum.
Farcaster frames: building embeddable Ethereum apps
Frames are an open standard for creating embeddable, interactive apps in social media feeds and on the web. They help solve one of the hardest problems for Ethereum dapp developers: distribution. Although frames originated on Farcaster, it's now possible to build cross-platform frames that work on Farcaster, Lens, XMTP, and the open web. In this hands on workshop we'll introduce the core concepts behind frames and build a simple frame app that interacts with a smart contract.
Keynote: Nomic Foundation’s vision for Ethereum’s tooling ecosystem
Nomic Foundation is the nonprofit behind Hardhat. Nomic’s co-founder and CTO will walk you through Nomic’s long-term vision for a community-driven developer tooling ecosystem for Ethereum.
Austin Griffith – Intro to Scaffold-ETH 2 and SpeedRunEthereum!
In this session, we’re going to dive into Scaffold-ETH v2, a toolkit we built to make developing on Ethereum way easier. We’ll take a look at how it works, why it’s super useful for quickly spinning up projects, and how we can use it to tinker with smart contracts and hook up the frontend. ⚙️ Scaffold-ETH 2 is built using NextJS, RainbowKit, Foundry/Hardhat, Wagmi, Viem, and Typescript. Whether you’re new or experienced, we’ll get you to SpeedRunEthereum!
Build your first onchain game with MUD in 5 minutes
Have you ever wanted to build a game that runs fully onchain, but didn’t know where to start? In this lightning talk, Alvarius will walk you through the basics of MUD, an application framework designed for games and autonomous worlds, and build a minimal onchain game from scratch. Learn the basics, learn the tooling, and learn where to go to keep learning and building after this session.
Programmable Cryptography and Smart Contract
Overview In some use cases, developers may want to execute smart contracts based on the results of FHE or MPC execution. This session will introduce several design patterns for such use cases and show how Programmable Cryptography can be applied to dApps. In detail The results of FHE executions are encrypted and need to be designed to be processed by smart contracts. In addition, the MPC+ZK-based method can solve the private state problem relatively easily using the conventional SNARK verifier.
The verge is (not) going to break your contracts!
The verge is comming, and with it a new pricing model for storage. This breaks many assumption that compilers have been doing for years. We'll see how part and future contracts are going to be affected, and what design should be favored in anticipation of the verge.
Learn Huff to become an EVM chad
Become an EVM chad by learning Huff, a low level assembly language for the EVM! On top of being able to write super duper optimized smart-contracts, Huff will teach you how the EVM works under the hood and will let you master high level languages like Solidity or Vyper.
