🎓 Nurturing the future cohort of BSV blockchain developers

Educating a new generation of BSV developers is incredibly important in the fast-paced world of blockchain technology. By training these developers, we can ensure the continuous growth and innovation of the BSV ecosystem, which has the potential to revolutionize various industries. 🌱💡

These developers will be equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to build secure, scalable, and efficient blockchain applications. This paves the way for a future in which blockchain can seamlessly integrate into sectors like finance, healthcare, and supply chain management, among others. 🚀📈

One person leading the way in these education initiatives is Xiaohui Liu, the Founder and CEO of sCrypt. This company is dedicated to providing on-chain smart contracting solutions on the BSV network. 👩‍💻💼

Recently, Liu hosted the first sCrypt hackathon at the University of Exeter, where he introduced students to smart contracts built on a scalable public blockchain using sCrypt tooling. The students then had a few months to design their own web-based applications using the skills they acquired. 💻🔧

During the hackathon, Liu gave a comprehensive presentation on developing smart contracts on the BSV blockchain. He introduced sCrypt, a TypeScript framework for BSV smart contracts, designed to simplify the process of writing complex smart contracts for on-chain execution. 😎💭

Liu covered various topics during his presentation, including the distinction between instances, providers, and signers, deploying contracts, calls with signatures, BSV submodules, customizing transactions, testing and debugging, package management, and even a scripting tutorial based on a game of tic-tac-toe. 📚🎮

In order to become a blockchain developer, it is important to have a solid understanding of the basics. While specific qualifications may not be required, proficiency in blockchain programming languages such as C++, Python, JavaScript, and Solidity is essential. Furthermore, developers need to comprehend how blockchains work, their components, and the benefits they offer. 📖🔑

To gain more knowledge about blockchain technology, signing up for courses offered by the BSV Academy is highly recommended. This online education platform provides academia-quality courses and learning materials covering various aspects of Bitcoin, including law, software engineering, software development, and business. It aims to make learning about the Bitcoin protocol accessible, accurate, and understandable, following the original design by Satoshi Nakamoto. 🎓⛓️
