About the Solidity Bootcamp
Our eight-week Solidity Bootcamp will turn a new cohort of Web2 devs into fully trained blockchain developers!
We will also help the participants find jobs in the crypto space after the successful completion of the programme. Several cohorts of crypto talent have graduated from our programmes and joined the Web3 space so far!
The bootcamp will feature 90-minute daily sessions running Monday-Thursday over eight weeks.
Apply for the bootcamp here until 11th September!
We have partnered up with BFT Solutions for our Solidity Bootcamp courses.
May, June and July cohorts of the Encode Solidity Bootcamp were led by Matheus Pagani of BFT Solutions, who ran fantastic lectures for our cohorts, provided mentorship as well as 1–1 support to our hackers.
The curriculum will cover the following topics:
- 6 weeks of formal teaching, 1 week of partner presentations and 1 week of project work!
- Intro to Blockchain
- Solidity Introduction
- Smart contract week
- dApp Design
- Security
- Advanced Coding
- dApp development
Applications were open to everyone, but the priority is given to individuals who can already code in other languages.
How it works
- 50–100 individuals selected to attend.
- This programme will be completely free to the chosen participants, bar a $250 deposit (returned upon having completed the course).
- Monday-Thursday there will be a 90-minute-long class.
