Course Overview

Solidity is a high-level programming language used for implementing smart contracts. Solidity is widely-used in developing Play-to-earn (P2E) games. P2E are NFT-gated games on the blockchain, where players can earn cryptocurrency and prizes that have real-world value. The ability to make these games is currently one of the most sought-after skills among blockchain developers. In this course, you will be introduced to Solidity and the fundamentals of the Ethereum network. This course also gives a preliminar...Show More
