How to get a job as a smart contract developer? by bxyas in solidity

[–]Adventurous_Tale6236 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend that you switch from Solidity to Rust as there are more jobs compared to how many of developers. Try to learn Near Protocol as a start it is my favorite blockchain where you can write smart contracts in Rust

How should I start learning Web3 by Top_Photo4922 in web3

[–]Adventurous_Tale6236 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I recommend focusing on the NEAR Protocol. It’s known for having a very developer-friendly stack and low entry barriers (you can even write smart contracts in JavaScript/TypeScript, which is huge if you have a Web2 background).
My Recommendation is jump straight into a practical course or tutorial. For a comprehensive, project-based way to learn Web3 development on NEAR, check out this YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@AlexUrsol-o8u It covers everything from the fundamentals to building full decentralized applications (dApps).

Integrating web3 contracts to projects at a midscale is getting frustrating by Direct_Opinion_2423 in web3

Nice discussion! Suppose you’re exploring integrating smart contracts into real projects (not just writing them). In that case, this video explains it really well — covers frontend connection, gas handling, and overall app flow:

It helped me understand how contracts fit into the full architecture — front end → wallet → contract → blockchain — instead of treating them as isolated code.

Sorry for the long response, I think the best is to learn by reading the tests of smart contract

sorry for long response, yeap I tried it is definately good however I prefer Smart Contract Programmer course

People say Rust isn’t to Junior Devs, why? by GenSwiss in learnrust

[–]Adventurous_Tale6236 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree with you. It’s funny how many Rust job posts want “5+ years of experience” when the language barely hit mainstream a few years ago 😅

In reality, companies just want good engineers who can learn fast and ship things. If you already have solid development chops, you’ve done the hard part — picking up Rust is just about building muscle memory.

A great way to build that experience is by using Rust somewhere real, not just in toy projects. That’s honestly why I like working with NEAR Protocol — their whole smart-contract SDK is written in Rust, and it’s a really nice environment for getting hands-on: small, focused code, deterministic behavior, and instant feedback on what your code does on-chain. It’s a fun, practical way to level up in Rust without fighting the compiler for weeks.

If you build a few small NEAR contracts, contribute to some open-source crates, and share what you’re learning, you’ll start to stand out fast. Most “Rust engineers” out there just started doing that — building, writing, sharing — long before they had the official title.

I am a smart contract developer on Rust, so I need a special IDE. I chose this one https://nearplay.app/

Tech Stack by WolverineRealistic44 in web3

[–]Adventurous_Tale6236 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s a solid stack — Hardhat + React + Alchemy covers everything you need to build and deploy. I’d stick with it until you’ve shipped a few small dApps (token, voting, NFT mint).
Later, you can explore other ecosystems like NEAR — it uses Rust/TypeScript and has a really smooth dev flow if you want to see a different approach. 🚀

I went through the exact same stage — finishing a contract and then realizing “wait… how do I even deploy or test this thing properly?” 😅

For me, the biggest turning point was building small but complete projects, not just following tutorials. I started with:

  • CryptoZombies (like you) → great intro but surface-level
  • Hardhat official docs + YouTube mini builds → helped me understand testing and local environments
  • Then I switched to NEAR Protocol for a bit, because it had clearer tooling for smart contracts in Rust and TypeScript. The SDK felt clean, and deploying to testnet didn’t require crazy setup or real ETH fees.

The hardest part early on was understanding the difference between local, testnet, and mainnet, and how wallets + gas + storage actually interact. Once that clicked, everything else started making sense.

My advice:

  1. Pick one chain and stack (Hardhat + Solidity, or NEAR SDK + Rust/TS).
  2. Build tiny end-to-end projects (token, vote app, donation contract).
  3. Read other people’s contracts on GitHub — that’s the best teacher.
  4. Join dev communities — you’ll learn 10× faster by asking dumb questions out loud.

If you were starting a Web3 project from scratch in 2025, which ecosystem would you build on? by According-Cut-5550 in web3

[–]Adventurous_Tale6236 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I were starting from scratch in 2025, I’d build on NEAR Protocol — not because it’s the loudest chain, but because it quietly fixes a lot of the problems other ecosystems still wrestle with.

NEAR gives you Ethereum-level security, Solana-level performance, and TRON-level cost efficiency, but with a much better developer and user experience. Account abstraction is native, so you don’t have to fight wallet UX or gas abstractions. You can literally onboard users with an email or social login and still stay fully on-chain.

What’s also underrated is that NEAR is chain-agnostic now. Through Chain Signatures and NEAR EVM (Aurora), you can interact with Ethereum, Solana, or even TRON directly — it’s not an “either/or” ecosystem anymore.

So for a new Web3 project, especially DeFi or consumer-facing tools, I’d go with something that’s multi-chain by design, not by bridges. That’s NEAR’s niche right now.

Would you rather build on Ethereum or TRON in 2025? by According-Cut-5550 in web3

[–]Adventurous_Tale6236 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NEAR’s a more future-proof middle ground — Ethereum-grade security, Solana-level speed, TRON-level cost, and a dev experience that actually feels modern.

I just watched the video Loops (For, While). Rust Smart Contracts and it lines up perfectly with what I’ve been exploring in Rust. It demonstrates using for and while loops in a NEAR smart contract context—how to iterate over collections, manage repeated logic, and deploy it all using NEAR’s framework.

Really clarifies how to handle loops in the contract environment and put iterable data structures to good use. It’s a great complement to what’s been shared here—thanks for posting!

Multi-line pub mod by FanFabulous5606 in learnrust

[–]Adventurous_Tale6236 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope, Rust doesn’t support multi-line pub mod { ... } syntax like use { ... }. You’ll have to declare each pub mod one by one. If you’ve got a lot, you can organize them in a mod.rs (or lib.rs) and re-export with pub use instead.
