The Web3 startup Calyptus has just built Web3’s first ever Solana curriculum designed to onboard more experienced software engineers into the industry. Having recognised that just 18,000 blockchain developers sustain the $1trillion crypto industry, the startup aims to showcase the immense capabilities of Solana’s blockchain to the world’s community of software engineers.

If you haven’t heard of Calyptus, they are Web3’s Career Platform for Experienced Builders. To date, the startup has helped over 5K software engineers boost their employability or land their dream job at a Web3 startup, for free. 

The platform already offers a free curriculum in Ethereum development, curated by the ex-technical director of Consensys, with over 125 lessons produced by Ethereum experts from Aave blockchain engineers to PhD cryptographers. The team has additionally brought in inspiring Web3 leaders such as Nader Dabit and Vitto Rivabella to run virtual coding workshops, teaching the latest education in the rapidly-changing world of Ethereum development.

Having built partnerships with 35 leading employers in the Ethereum ecosystem such as Optimism, Aave & SuperFluid, and making placements at the likes of The Graph, Gelato Network & Request, the startup is now planning to go multi-chain and replicate the same success in Solana.

Grant funded by The Solana Foundation, their free curriculum aims to help bridge senior developers into Solana through providing high-quality education on high-demand areas such as Compressed NFTs, DeFi, Security & Mobile. With over 70% of the curriculum focused on these cutting-edge topics, which have rarely been taught to the wider world, it’s a first-of-its-kind for the Solana ecosystem.

In building the curriculum, the Calyptus founders teamed up with leading Solana-based companies and projects, including Solana Mobile, Helius, QuillAudits & HXRO Network, to ensure quality and relevance. Comprising of eight project-led tutorials, the curriculum will be steadily increased by four more tutorials over the subsequent months to keep learners increasingly engaged and excited.

Co-founder Dan Jones had a few thoughts to share on the launch: “Having worked on the curriculum for over 6 months with an incredible team of content creators  and invaluable guidance from the Solana Foundation, we’re very excited to be finally launching education that showcases the true potential of Solana and why it’s a formidable blockchain for software engineers to be exploring.”

Through incentivised learning, such as earning XP for completed tutorials and offering life-time recruitment support to the first 100 engineers that complete the curriculum, the startup plans to onboard 1.5K senior engineers into the Solana ecosystem in 2024 alone. A feat that would double the size of Solana’s developer ecosystem. (Developerreport.com, Oct 23)

All in all, Calyptus’ new Solana curriculum is a major win for Web3, adding another reliable “bridge” for global software engineers to learn and land a high-paid job in the industry. If you are a software engineer with foundational knowledge of a programming language (like JavaScript, Python or Rust), Calyptus might just be your next stop to finding an exciting and bold new career in blockchain technology.

Memecoin Madness: Eddie Seal Team Insults Investors and Returns Money from Presale

Published

on

Two weeks ago, the Eddie Seal memecoin project ($EDSE) began raising funds for development through a presale event. On Wednesday, a controversial post appeared on the project’s Twitter, where the team labeled the presale investors as ‘morons’.

“You morons. You invest in a presale of a new memecoin and then cry when someone runs off with the money. Get a grip and be careful because 99% of presales are scams. We have returned all the payments to the wallets from which they were sent. Eddie will proceed without a presale!” reads the tweet from Eddie Seal profile.

This incident is quite unusual, given market norms. Memecoins are not financial instruments, hence funds raised through presales are not regulated in any way. It is unprecedented for a project team to refund all investments made by individuals.

The refund might have been an attempt by the Eddie Seal team to build credibility within the crypto community, especially as Eddie Seal has announced six marketing rounds aimed at reaching a $1 billion marketcap. The campaign will culminate in an Eddie Seal cartoon, in the style of Rick and Morty or Family Guy. The six marketing rounds include sponsoring a Formula 1 team, a Harry Styles (or another top tier star) concert at Wembley with tickets for $1EDSE, a ‘spending money competition’ with 10,000 credit cards linked to one account, and a $3 million donation to MrBeast for spending in one of his videos.

It was also announced that the team plans to distribute part of the $EDSE tokens to the community gathered around the project in the form of an AirDrop. Sign-ups are expected to start soon.

The price of the $EDSE token in the coming days will reveal how the market has reacted. The token contract address for price tracking is available at eddieseal.org or listed here: 2Zvo6bnwJtyXhsPgbcfajTrEtB7NwrJhK8mMmtEXvHHc

Metarise is forging new paths in the metaverse landscape, building an immersive digital universe that blends high-quality, low-poly graphics with the robust capabilities of the M20 Chain blockchain, all powered by Unreal Engine. This innovative platform merges reality with virtual spaces to create an interactive environment where users can live, work, and play.

Vibrant Digital Ecosystems: Cityland and Funland 

At the heart of Metarise lies Cityland, the bustling urban core that serves as the central hub for commerce, art, and social interaction. With its vibrant streets lined with shops, showrooms, galleries, and more, Cityland is where creativity meets community. Not far from the urban excitement is Funland, a sanctuary of joy and entertainment, offering a retreat where users can engage in games, sports, and various leisure activities. Both these areas are anchored by the iconic Metarise Tower, a towering structure that stands as a testament to the possibilities of virtual architecture and the central node from which all activity in Metarise radiates.

The Role of Riser Token in Metarise 

The pulse of this digital universe is the Riser Token ($RIS), a metaverse utility token that facilitates not only commerce but also enables a variety of interactions and transactions within the Metarise ecosystem. From purchasing virtual land to trading goods and accessing exclusive services, the Riser Token is essential for navigating and leveraging the full potential of Metarise.

Empowering Users and Businesses 

Metarise is more than just a virtual space; it is a versatile platform designed to accommodate the diverse needs of individuals and businesses alike.

For businesses, Metarise provides a range of tools and spaces for virtual offices, allowing companies to maintain operations, host conferences, and interact with clients without geographical constraints.

Innovative Real Estate and Investment Opportunities 

One of the standout features of Metarise is its approach to virtual real estate. Through its Initial Land Offering (ILO), users have the opportunity to invest in virtual land, represented as unique NFTs on the M20 blockchain. This allows for the development of personalized real estate projects, from digital offices and private properties to commercial spaces, which can be further monetized through rentals or providing specialized services.

MetaRise is excited to announce the opening of our Initial Land Offering (ILO), a unique opportunity for early adopters to participate in the early stages of our expansive metaverse. This early phase of development offers potential for growth as the platform evolves, though it’s important to remember that all investments carry inherent risks and returns are not guaranteed. As you consider joining us in shaping the future of MetaRise, we encourage you to make informed decisions.

A Hub for Brands and Creators 

Metarise serves as a dynamic marketing tool for brands looking to enhance their identity and user engagement through immersive experiences. It’s a platform where brands can interact with their audience in meaningful ways, leveraging the unique capabilities of virtual reality, augmented reality, and AI to deliver memorable brand experiences.

Conclusion: The Future of Digital Connectivity 

Metarise envisions a world where digital and physical realities converge to create a seamless universe of endless possibilities. It’s not just about creating a space for users to interact; it’s about redefining the essence of community and connectivity. As Metarise continues to expand and evolve, it invites users from all corners of the globe to explore its myriad offerings, engage with its vibrant community, and contribute to the ever-growing expanse of this digital frontier.
