Everything You Need To Know
Frequently Asked Questions
Which course should I take?
If you are completely new to blockchain development, see our free Solidity course. If you have at least six months of experience with Solidity and have built several Solidity projects already, apply to the Advanced Solidity Bootcamp. Please note that the majority of the students who take the course have a year of professional Solidity development experience, so if you have not done Solidity professionally, you may find it challenging. The Zero Knowledge Bootcamp can be taken by anyone with enough mathematical background, but tech leads and protocol leads in web3 will benefit the most from it. It will help if you already understand digital signatures, basic linear algebra, and understand the Ethereum precompiles.
Who will teach the course?
Currently, Shung is teaching the Advanced Solidity Bootcamp. Jeffrey Scholz teaches the Zero Knowledge Bootcamp.
Do I have to apply right before my intended start date?
No. We've had students apply five months before they want to start the cohort. For example, if you are busy for the next three months and know you want to start four months from now, it's best to apply now. If you apply too close to the cohort start date, you might have to wait for the next cohort. The Advanced Solidity Bootcamp and Zero Knowledge Bootcamp are run every month, and the Dapp Bootcamp usually runs every other month.
Where can I find the curriculum?
Unlike other bootcamps, most of our curriculum is public and open source! The Zero-Knowledge Bootcamp is based on the ZK Book. Please see the resources on our homepage and our blog for the Advanced Solidity content. The goal of our Bootcamps is not merely to give you high-quality, well-explained materials our blogs already do that for free. In the bootcamps, the instructors will actively challenge your understanding of the topic to ensure you truly understand it and can apply the right techniques quickly.
Is it online or in person?
Everything is 100% online at RareSkills.
How much time per week?
We estimate it will take most students 25 hours to complete each week of work.
