Algorand Foundation invites you to their event

Developer Greenhouse Bootcamp - Build a dAPP in four days

About this event

This virtual Bootcamp which will be run over 4 sesssions will allow you to start your path in the development of decentralized applications using Algorand, taking advantage of its native technical characteristics. Please note you must register for each session you wish to attend.

You will not be automatically registered for all sessions by registering for one.

All the content will be in English and it is totally free, so if you are a developer and you ask yourself: Why should I be interested in learning about Algorand and participating in the Bootcamp?

Algorand has different SDK's to help you with the building process in different languages and with extensive documentation.

The costs and speed for testing on Algorand are extremely low, which will allow you to learn and test without friction.

The companies that work with Algorand are constantly looking for developers to join their work teams.

At the end of the Bootcamp you will be able to participate in solving challenges that will test your knowledge and will serve as a cover letter for you to apply for a Web3 job in the Algorand ecosystem.

When you decide to start working in blockchain, it is essential that you know the characteristics of the protocol that you are going to use, here are those of Algorand:

  • It is a layer 1 network that can process more than 6,000 transactions per second and is expected to reach 10,000.
  • The cost per transaction is 0.001 ALGO == $0.0003 USD Approx.
  • Our blocks are processed in 4 seconds.
  • We are a carbon negative blockchain as we are committed to being environmentally friendly.
