What is the Dev Bootcamp?
Our Dev Bootcamp is an exclusive, instructor-led, virtual 4-week training program. Designed to provide you with a deeper understanding of blockchain, USDC and key developer tools, this bootcamp will equip you with the knowledge and skills to tap on the power of multi-chain USDC and Circle APIs to start building cross-chain apps or improve solutions through the integration of USDC into existing applications that work across chains like Avalanche, Algorand, Ethereum, Solana and beyond.
With 20 limited seats, we’re looking for passionate developers who want to advance their skills and get more involved in the Web3 space. In addition to working with like-minded individuals, you’ll also get the opportunity to interact and learn directly from the Circle team. By the end of the bootcamp, you will be equipped with Circle APIs in your tool belt, and get hands-on experience in building your own project use case across your infrastructure of choice, using Circle. Get ahead in the Web3 space as you expand your skills and learn to tap on the power of multi-chain USDC – You’ll open up endless possibilities for new use cases and cross-chain app development.
Some exciting project ideas you get to work on include:
• Venmo-style payment system to send USDC via smart contract
• Payment system that makes use of Circle Payment and Accounts API to send USDC between Circle hosted wallets
• Get creative! Work on any self-proposed topic that utilises Circle APIs, involves USDC or has a smart contract interaction.
