Products & Services

DApp World is the world's first and only practical learning ecosystem for developers. It serves as a dynamic ecosystem where developers can come together to learn, solve problems, compete, collaborate, and build innovative solutions. Currently, the platform has 40,000+ active web3 developers, learning, solving challenges, contests, tutorials, building profiles, etc. Along with active users, we have a community of more than 60k users and the presence of over 50+ universities in India. We also got accepted into Ethindia grants, we partnered with multiple companies like Push Protocol, Aptos, QuillAudits, StackOS, Vechain, Revise, Dapps, and more.

Last week, we built 20+ projects on Stellar with multiple groups within our community as we partnered with Rise In to assist them in the Soroban Stellar Accelerator by leveraging our skilled developers community. These developers came from diverse backgrounds, ranging from beginners to experts. In Web3 space most developers are from Ethereum or Solana backgrounds. However, they found transitioning to Stellar development challenging due to a lack of resources for learning and understanding the platform. Soroban, despite using Rust, presents a different set of challenges, especially development flow and Soroban working, along with these major challenges, developers struggle with overall dapp development. This further complicates matters as detailed resources for Stellar development are lacking, making it difficult for developers to grasp the intricacies of building on the Stellar network. The best way to build and strengthen the developer community is to have little to no friction while building, by providing them with high-quality resources for smooth building. This problem also leads to an influx of developer queries in Stellar community channels, overwhelming the Stellar team with repeated questions and doubts.

Our team has been developing resources and dapps for the past 5 years in the ecosystem from Ethereum, Polygon's POS Plasma to building games on Lens, we have built very comprehensive courses with our experience and expertise. So far we have provided 15+ different courses, 30+ quizzes, 60+ challenges, 16+ contests, and 400+ tutorials and guides, i.e overall 400+ hrs of web3 learning on the platform. Our proposed solution involves leveraging DApp World's resources to create high-quality free courses that will serve the Stellar community. These educational resources will simplify the learning process for developers, reduce the number of queries from developers during dapp development, and ultimately, enhance the Stellar community's capacity to build on Stellar. The learning track will include certified courses, quizzes, and articles to create a comprehensive learning ecosystem around Stellar. These resources will be simultaneously updated to reflect changes in the Stellar blockchain and ensure that developers remain up to date with the platform's upgrades.

In addition to educating developers, the introduction of this Stellar learning track will serve as a valuable resource for Stellar events and workshops. It will serve as a comprehensive guide, helping developers get started with Stellar more easily and efficiently. These resources, produced over time, will meet the requirements of any developer, from beginners to experts. By focusing on Stellar, we can introduce these resources to various communities, including those we are building in India. This will, over time, accelerate the pace at which developers jump into the Stellar ecosystem.
