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.
