Web3 companies are raising billions of dollars because of web3&#8217;s forecasted potential in the next 10-15 years. The difference then would be that those billions would turn into trillions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The graphs are looking up, frens. \ud83d\udcc8<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The web3 companies raising all this money eventually require resources to develop products. But there&#8217;s a massive problem on hand: <strong>web3 developers are scarce.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"630\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/metaschool.so\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Frame-74-1.png\" alt=\"how to learn web3 poster showing web3 developers solving problems and coding on ethereum\" class=\"wp-image-967\" srcset=\"https:\/\/metaschool.so\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Frame-74-1.png 630w, https:\/\/metaschool.so\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Frame-74-1-300x171.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><figcaption>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ethereum.org\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Ethereum<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>A web3 developer nowadays, with 1+ year of experience, is making an average of $90k\/year. That&#8217;s the salary for an entry-level developer. More so, there&#8217;s massive opportunity for growth, learning and disruption in the space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if I&#8217;m completely honest, not entering the web3 space at this point would be like losing out on buying Bitcoin years ago when it was at $25. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It stings, right? This will too. \ud83d\udc7b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why I&#8217;ve put together some great resources that can give you an overall look into the web3 space via theory and practice projects. Whether you&#8217;re a beginner or someone a little advanced in the space, you&#8217;ll find something to start with in this list. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A disclaimer, though, most practical <a href=\"https:\/\/metaschool.so\/courses\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">web3 learning<\/a> projects do require you to have knowledge of web2 programming languages, or a background in web development.

And it&#8217;s going to be made by you. The reason this course exists is because it isn&#8217;t all that difficult to create a blockchain &#8211; especially if you really want it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Substrate SDK is a powerful tool that allows developers to build custom blockchain platforms and dApps in a flexible way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is widely used by developers in the blockchain community and has been adopted by a number of leading projects, including the <a href=\"https:\/\/metaschool.so\/blockchains\/polkadot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Polkadot blockchain<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/metaschool.so\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Frame-40.png\" alt=\"web3 course on how to create your own blockchain using substrate\" class=\"wp-image-4892\" srcset=\"https:\/\/metaschool.so\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Frame-40.png 960w, https:\/\/metaschool.so\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Frame-40-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/metaschool.so\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Frame-40-768x432.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, in the course, you\u2019ll gain an understanding of the Polkadot environment and the Layer-0 protocol that powers it, as well as key blockchain concepts and principles such as the relay chain and parachains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because it&#8217;s not just a theory course, <strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>you&#8217;ll learn how to run your Substrate-based blockchain locally for testing and development purposes, allowing you to experiment with your blockchain and debug any issues before it goes live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do note, however, that creating your own blockchain requires a strong understanding of distributed systems, cryptography, and computer science, as well as the ability to solve complex technical problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you know all that, jump in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-primary\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/metaschool.so\/courses\/how-to-create-your-own-blockchain?ref=Articles&amp;utm_source=Blog_Organic\">Go to the course<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-an-introduction-to-the-solana-blockchain-2501babe-github\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_An_introduction_to_the_Solana_blockchain_%E2%80%93_2501babe_github\"><\/span>4.
