Learn Solidity with Cyfrin Updraft, the most comprehensive, most straightforward introduction to Solidity smart contract development ever created. Over 200,000 students have learned how to develop smart contracts following the course.

Whether you have never programmed, know the basic syntax of smart contract code, or want to dive deeper into web3 development, this is the course for you!

This comprehensive online course contains over 40 lectures, over 5 hours of video, and projects to help you learn Solidity programming language. It provides the foundational skills you need to move into more advanced smart contract development and security concepts.

This course is your first step from beginner to professional, even with zero programming experience. Here's why:

  • The world’s leading Solidity smart contract developers and educators in web3 teach the course.
  • The course is updated regularly to teach you the latest tools, technologies, and development frameworks.
  • You will learn real-world skills used at large companies and protocols.
  • Researchers developed the curriculum over 2 years leveraging comprehensive student testing, feedback, and reviews.
  • Over 200,000 students have learned to write secure smart contracts using this course. Many have changed their lives and became professional web3 developers or started a protocol.
  • You'll save over $10,000. The course is completely free, giving you full access to the industry-leading web3 development course.
  • The course is constantly updated with new content, projects, and modules!

We'll take you step-by-step through the process of creating smart contracts. Engaging video tutorials teach you everything you need about learning the Solidity programming language. We also show how to succeed as a Solidity developer.

The Solidity smart contract fundamentals course is project-based and designed to help you become a smart contract developer. It includes quizzes, tests, exercises, assignments, and projects designed to help you build a portfolio of Solidity smart contracts!

Learn data structures, data types, function calls, and how to deploy smart contracts.

Building real-world Solidity examples helps you begin your journey to become a smart contract developer. Work with testnets, test your codebase, and create a front end to connect your wallet and interact with your smart contracts.

The course helps you learn Solidity in a practical manner. Every lecture has a full coding screencast and written lessons to learn from. Choose the method that fits you best!

We start by getting familiar with Solidity concepts and using Remix to set up your Solidity smart contract development environment. Regardless of your operating system—Linux, MacOS, Windows—we've got you covered.

We cover a wide variety of topics, including:

  • Introduction to Solidity
  • Introduction to smart contracts development
  • Introduction to smart contracts deployment
  • Introduction to blockchain oracles
  • Introduction to smart contracts testing

By the end of this course, you will be ready to be a Solidity smart contract developer!

You will get lifetime access to over 40 lectures, corresponding resources, and repositories!
