Build your first Ethereum dApp

In this weekend build, you'll learn some Solidity, write and deploy a smart contract to the ETH blockchain, and a build a React web3 client app to interact with you contract.

This stuff isn't easy by any means. It's super new and constantly changing. We'll take you from zero → shipped and show you best practices along the way.

Actually write a smart contract

Smart contracts are magical and we'll be covering a lot of that magic like: built-in security, storing data, and actually sending ether.

Connect your UI to your contract

We're going to write some client-side code to connect to our Ethereum wallet and call functions on our smart contract.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does this cost?

All of our projects are free and open-source! You'll never need to pay for our guides, and we'll deploy on a testnet so your total cost for this whole thing will be $0.

What's the time commitment?

The whole project will probably take you like 5-10 hours. Depends on your skill level. Most people finish it the same weekend it kicks off.

Is this live or async?

It's all async! You can work on your project on your own time. All of the content will be available to you when you enrol and you'll have access to it forever :).

Are there guides I follow to build the project?

If you're a dev curious about web3 -- this will be perfect. It helps if you have basic web dev experience!

What languages do I need to know for this?

You just need to know some Javascript and the basics of React. Also, you should know the basics of running stuff inside a terminal. Basically, if you're familiar with the basics of web dev, you can do this for sure. If you don't, you'll struggle but you'll figure it out if you put in the work. We'll support you :).

Will I get an NFT for completing the project?

Yes ser. Every successful completion of a buildspace project is rewarded with a unique NFT! Good luck.
