When I first heard about Web3, it felt overwhelming. Wallets, tokens, NFTs, smart contracts. Where do you even begin?
Here’s the simple path I recommend if you’re just getting started:
First Steps
- Get a Wallet → Install MetaMask
- Get Test Crypto → Use free test networks like Ethereum Sepolia before spending real money
-
Play with dApps →
- Uniswap → swap test tokens
- OpenSea testnet → mint fake NFTs
- Mirror.xyz → write a blog post as an NFT
- Learn Solidity (optional) → If you want to build, start with Ethereum’s smart contract language
That’s it. You don’t need to dive into everything at once. Just touch the ecosystem, get familiar, and see what excites you.
Quick Personal Update
I’ve also been working on Sassypack 🎉It’s a MERN Starter Kit to help you launch your startup fast.
It comes with:
-
A clean folder structure
- Authentication
- Landing page
- Paystack payments
Basically, all the boring setup you don’t want to waste weeks on. You just plug in your idea and start building 🚀
Closing
Web3 isn’t going anywhere. Start small, play around, and if you’re building something yourself. Tools like Sassypack can save you time and let you focus on the actual product.
Happy coding! 👋
