Where do I start?

Figuring out where to start can lead you down endless rabbit holes that become a time suck and leave you overwhelmed. There are hundreds of blockchains to choose from, each with their own developer ecosystem, tooling, and unique coding languages. You may even be wondering how does your existing developer skills translate into becoming a web3 developer?

The key to getting started isn’t to go further down the rabbit hole. Instead, it’s understand the first principles of blockchains and smart contracts. Once you understand how blockchains and smart contracts interact with each other you will see why they give rise to things like Tokens, NFTS, and Currencies.
