Welcome to the Polkadot Hackathon Survival Guide! This resource is your go-to companion for navigating the world of Polkadot development during the hackathon.
Whether you're a blockchain pro or just starting with Polkadot, this guide has all the essential info, tips, and resources to help you shine. ✨
From setting up your development environment to presenting your project, we’ve got you covered.
Developers can follow different paths to build applications and core blockchain functionality. Each pathway fits different project types and skill levels, all contributing to the broader Polkadot ecosystem.
The Polkadot ecosystem provides multiple development pathways:
