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.

How Bitcoin Lotteries Work and Differ from Conventional Lotteries

Crypto Chain Wire

Published

on

The world of lottery just got an upgrade and it is global, secure, and powered by the future of finance: Bitcoin.

In this article, we dive into the exciting world of Bitcoin Lottery which offers a seamless and transparent experience. We will break down what Bitcoin lotteries are, how they work, and what sets them apart from your conventional lottery system.

What is a Bitcoin Lottery?

Bitcoin lotteries work like traditional lotteries but with a modern digital spin. Instead of using fiat currency, participants use cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.

Here’s how it works: you buy a lottery ticket with cryptocurrency, choose your numbers, and wait for the draw. If your numbers match the drawn numbers, you win a prize – paid out in Bitcoin or other chosen cryptocurrencies.

What Makes Bitcoin Lottery Games Stand Out?

Here are the features that make Bitcoin lottery games a top choice for players.

  • Transparency and Fairness: One of the biggest advantages of the Bitcoin lottery is the use of blockchain technology. Blockchain ensures that every transaction and draw is recorded on a decentralized ledger that’s accessible to all players. This transparency eliminates worries about rigged results as players can verify each draw independently.
  • Security: Using cryptographic algorithms, Bitcoin lottery games offer extra security. The decentralized nature of blockchain means malicious actors can’t manipulate the results of the draws.
  • Global Accessibility: Unlike traditional lotteries which are limited by geographical boundaries, crypto lotteries are accessible from anywhere in the world. As long as you have an internet connection and a digital wallet, you can play. This global reach increases the player base and potentially the prize pool.

Regular Lotteries vs. Bitcoin Lotteries: A Comparison

1. The most obvious distinction is the utilized currency. Ordinary lotteries utilize fiat currency like dollars or euros, whereas a Bitcoin lottery uses Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies.

2. Transactions in Bitcoin lotteries are faster and may have lower fees than buying traditional lottery tickets. This is so because Bitcoin transactions eliminate intermediaries like banks, therefore lowering the delays and expenses related to bank fees and currency exchanges.

3. Prizes in Bitcoin lotteries are in BTC or other cryptocurrencies which can be attractive because of the potential for value growth. Certain Bitcoin lotteries also provide quick payouts, hence improving the convenience for the winners.

4. Bitcoin lotteries usually employ “provably fair” algorithms. Unlike other lotteries, this system lets players use cryptographic techniques to confirm the fairness of the draw outcomes.

Why should one try a Bitcoin Lottery?

Apart from the thrill of maybe winning large, crypto lotteries provide several special benefits:

• Safe and open: You can verify every single draw and transaction.

• There are no geographical restrictions; play wherever on the planet.

• Cut expenses by means of lower transaction fees.

• Instant Payouts: Get your winnings easily and quickly. 

Bottom Line

With improved security, transparency, and worldwide accessibility, a Bitcoin lottery presents a fascinating and creative variation of the classic lottery.

These lotteries are a reliable choice for gamers all around as they guarantee fair and clear results by integrating blockchain technology. Regardless of your experience level, Bitcoin lottery games provide a modern way to try your luck and potentially win big.
