An open-source platform for Web3 developers, offering resources for skill enhancement, on-chain reputation, and earning opportunities through courses, workshops, capstone projects, and NFT certifications.

OpenBuild was established in March 2023 as an open-source community for Web3 developers, offering a tailored learning and practice platform for all skill levels.

OpenBuild aims to bridge Web2 and Web3, helping developers transition to the decentralized web, enhance their skills, and display their expertise. Our mission is to provide essential tools and resources, foster trust with an on-chain reputation system, and create business opportunities.

Developers can build capstone projects, earn NFT certificates, bounties, engage in coding practices, and receive rewards for their Web3 development proficiency. By participating and completing projects, developers gain experience and contribute to the growth of the decentralized web.

At present, we have collaborated with numerous partners to launch 36 open courses, 11 Bootcamps / Workshops, and 9 bounties to facilitate better learning and practice. Here are some examples:

  • https://openbuild.xyz/learn/challenges/91
  • https://openbuild.xyz/learn/challenges/89
  • https://openbuild.xyz/learn/courses/80

We are open-sourcing some tools for community use, such as a registration management system based on bootcamp/hackerhouse standard processes, a bounty claim and issuance tool based on a two-sided market, a cross-chain NFT tool based on EAS, etc. Here are the contracts that have been open-sourced (more are coming) :

  • https://github.com/openbuildxyz/contract

We are also supporting some developers to provide open-source tools to help developers get into Web3 more effectively, for example:

  • https://github.com/amphitheatre-app/amphitheatre
  • https://github.com/devbasecom/devbard-rag-embeddings
