MAIN SUMMER 🕳️

Build a semantic, responsive interface that will later host application logic.

HTML and CSS

Use values, functions, objects, arrays, conditions, and browser events in small practical tasks.

JavaScript

Work with promises, async/await, errors, and external data required by blockchain interfaces.

Async and APIs

Add types to data, functions, and module contracts so errors surface before runtime.

TypeScript

Build the interface from components, manage state and effects, and connect screens to async operations.

React

Understand hashing, digital signatures, keys, addresses, transactions, gas, and the EVM.

Cryptography and Ethereum

Write contracts with types, storage, functions, events, and access checks.

Solidity Foundations

Use Remix and Hardhat for compilation, local execution, tests, and deployment.

Contract Tooling

Connect a wallet and contract to the frontend, read state, submit transactions, and process events.

Ethers Integration

Ship the full dapp: record-book contract, React/Next.js interface, integration, and verification of core scenarios.

CryptoBook

Move from web fundamentals and cryptography to Solidity, Ethers integration, and a complete CryptoBook.

Curriculum

The engineering path starts with HTML, JavaScript, TypeScript, and React, then adds cryptography, Ethereum, Solidity, and Ethers. These layers meet in CryptoBook: a smart contract stores records, the frontend reads and submits transactions, and the project goes through local verification and release.

Learn HTML, JavaScript, and TypeScript as the foundation of client-side web3 development

Build a React interface and connect application state to blockchain data

Understand hashes, signatures, addresses, transactions, and the EVM

Write and verify a Solidity contract in Remix and Hardhat

Connect the contract through Ethers, handle transactions, and ship CryptoBook
