Building Smart Contract Skills That Actually Matter
Most blockchain courses dump theory on you and call it a day. We're doing something different here. You'll spend real time working with Solidity, understanding how transactions actually flow, and building deployable contracts before the program wraps.

What You'll Actually Learn Here
Our September 2025 cohort focuses on practical deployment skills. No fluff about "revolutionizing industries" — just solid technical foundation.
Smart Contract Fundamentals
Starting with basic Solidity syntax and working up to complex contract interactions. You'll understand gas optimization because you'll see exactly where transactions get expensive.
Real Network Deployment
Testnets first, obviously. But you'll also deploy to mainnet during the final module. That moment when your contract goes live? That's when everything clicks.
Security Patterns
Common vulnerabilities aren't theoretical here. We break contracts on purpose, then you'll learn to prevent the same issues in production code.
Web3 Integration
Your contracts need interfaces. We cover ethers.js and web3.js integration so users can actually interact with what you build.
Testing Frameworks
Hardhat and Truffle workflows become second nature. Writing tests might seem tedious at first, but it saves you from expensive mistakes later.
DApp Architecture
Understanding how frontend, smart contracts, and IPFS storage work together. The full stack makes more sense when you see all pieces connected.
Why Seoul's Developer Community Trusts Our Approach
Korea's blockchain scene moves fast. Companies here need developers who can ship working contracts, not just talk about them. That's shaped how we teach.
Our instructors work on active projects. When regulations changed in 2024, they adjusted their own production code — and brought those lessons straight into class. You're learning from people who deal with real deployment challenges every week.
The Seoul tech meetups happen monthly. Several of our graduates now speak at these events, sharing what they've built. That network connection often matters as much as the technical skills.
How Our 16-Week Program Actually Works
Weeks 1-4: Blockchain Basics
Start with how blockchains actually work under the hood. You'll run a local node, examine transaction data, and understand what miners (or validators) really do. Then basic Solidity — variables, functions, contract structure.
Weeks 5-8: Contract Development
Now it gets interesting. Building ERC-20 tokens, working with contract inheritance, handling events and logs. You'll deploy to Goerli testnet repeatedly until the workflow feels natural.
Weeks 9-12: Advanced Patterns
Complex stuff: upgradeable contracts, multi-sig wallets, oracle integration. We spend serious time on security auditing because one oversight can cost real money. Gas optimization becomes a priority here.
Weeks 13-16: Capstone Project
You design and deploy a complete DApp. Could be a voting system, NFT marketplace, or DeFi protocol — your choice. We review your code, you fix issues, then deploy to mainnet. That final deployment is yours to show employers.
Small Cohorts Change Everything
We cap enrollment at 18 people per session. Sounds arbitrary, but that's the number where individual code review stays practical. When someone's struggling with a concept, we catch it quickly.
Larger bootcamps promise the same support with 50+ students. The math just doesn't work. Your questions get lost in Slack channels. Code reviews become superficial. We tried the bigger cohort model in 2023 — student outcomes dropped noticeably.
This approach costs us potential revenue. But watching students actually grasp complex concepts because they got personalized attention? Worth it.

September 2025 Cohort Opens Soon
Applications open in July. We review portfolios and conduct technical interviews because mixing skill levels hurts everyone's progress. Prior programming experience required — we're not teaching JavaScript basics here.
