Start learning how to become a blockchain developer. In this course you will understand the concepts of blockchain technology and smart contracts. You'll create your own wallet, learn how to develop and deploy your own smart contracts, and build a portfolio app to showcase the work you've completed in this course.

Start by understanding the concepts of web3, blockchain and smart contracts. Next, we'll delve into the meaning of wallets and teach you how to create your own MetaMask wallet. In the next section we will implement and build our own smart contracts. Deploy your own ERC20, ERC721 and ERC1155 smart contracts, as well as other pre-built smart contracts. The final section focuses on how to use the smart contracts you've implemented. You develop a portfolio-style application and create mini-projects that interact with and use these contracts through a frontend app.

**Mumbai testnet support has officially ended. Transition to the Amoy testnet for improved scalability and lower gas costs.**
