Solidity Bootcamp April 2023 (Early Cohort) Summary
The Solidity Bootcamp April (Early Cohort) concluded this week after an intensive eight-week program focused on learning Solidity and building on the Ethereum blockchain. This free, online bootcamp attracted over 600 developers who were eager to enhance their skills as smart contract engineers and resulted in the onboarding of over 140 of them.
The bootcamp was structured around six weeks of instruction, followed by a sponsor week featuring external speakers, and a project-building week. Participants received comprehensive training in Solidity programming, covering topics such as contract design patterns, testing methodologies, and security considerations for smart contract development.
The course was led by Matheus Pagani, a seasoned instructor from Venture Miner, who not only taught but also provided constant support to participants between weekly sessions. He ensured that all participants had access to supplementary resources and that their questions were answered promptly.
During the project-building week, participants had the opportunity to apply their newly acquired skills to create real-world projects. This hands-on experience allowed them to gain a deeper understanding of the intricacies of Solidity programming and to develop innovative solutions to real-world challenges.
Upon successful completion of the bootcamp, participants were offered assistance by Encode’s talent team in finding jobs in web3. This support provides an excellent opportunity for participants to use their newfound knowledge and skills to embark on exciting careers in the rapidly growing field of blockchain technology.

Sponsor Workshops
The sponsor week consisted of four workshops:
Tellor Workshop
Brenda from Tellor talked about Oracles; why they are important, the challenges they’re facing, oracle types, evaluating oracles and much more!
Pocket Network Workshop
Daniel from Pocket talked about decentralised infrastructure and had a fantastic chat with bootcamp participants!
Tenderly Workshop
Vanja from Tenderly gave a high-level overview of everything they do and create for web3 developers. He demonstrated how can Tenderly be used in conjunction with Hardhat to test smart contracts. Additionally, he demonstrated process automation — listening to things happening to the built smart contract and reacting in a particular way.
Marlin Workshop
In this workshop, Roshan from Marlin walked bootcamp participants through the Oyster platform, talked about the problems it solves, showed how it worked and provided some useful resources.
