Description

Intent-based blockchain systems are the next-generation architecture for building scalable web3 applications. One of the challenges that every intent-based system faces is having competent solvers to fill orders. Unfortunately, not much work has been done to create solver solutions that are easy to run and can be used in these intent-based systems. In this Build Project, you will wear the hat of a Software Engineer and create a prototype of a much-needed solver solution for reliable and efficient filling of intents. Whether new to blockchains or not, this entry-level project provides a solid basis for designing, developing, and testing decentralized systems accessible by billions of users. Under the supervision of an experienced Build Fellow, you'll use JavaScript as well as tools such as web3 libraries, Infura, and other external APIs to interact with blockchains and software that runs on decentralized networks.

What you will learn

  • Learn why blockchains and web3 are considered as the next computing paradigm.
  • Learn how to use intents and declarative paradigm to build decentralized applications.
  • Learn how to use ethers, viem and other libraries to build web3 applications.
  • Learn how to use nodejs, typeorm and postgreSQL to build scalable backend.
Build Projects are 8-week experiences that operate on a rolling basis. Selected participants engage in weekly live workshops with a Build Fellow and 2-15 other students.
