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!

If there’s one resource that Web3 developers point to, it’s Cyfrin’s ultimate tutorials. They’re standout resources that have empowered countless developers to learn blockchains, learn Solidity, and dive deep into Web3 development.

Gustavo Gonzalez

I took Cyfrin course and I’ve been working as a solutions developer at OpenZeppelin for the last few months. It was by far the most comprehensive resource and the one that really teached me the fundamentals and made me want to switch from web2 to web3.

Francesco Andreoli

Cyfrin Updraft videos on smart contract development have been instrumental in my blockchain journey, standing out with their clarity and accessibility. Their readiness to support and engage with learners makes me excited for more of their interactive and insightful content in the Web3 space

Albert Hu

The Cyfrin courses were a game-changer for me. They provided a well-structured and comprehensive introduction to web3 and blockchain development. The knowledge I gained allowed me to transition into a full-time role as a blockchain developer. I can't recommend these courses enough!

Radek

I took Cyfrin’s courses, and I took them seriously. At least one hour every day, documented the progress, didn’t skip any second. Haven’t found a better web3 course since. Now I’m full-time in web3, working as Senior Developer Advocate at Ceramic Network.

Boidushya

Cyfrin have been an absolute game-changers in my journey into blockchain. Saying their courses were remarkable, would be an understatement. Thanks to their expert guidance, I gained a deep understanding of blockchain to its roots. I'm forever grateful for their role in helping me get started in web3.
