Developing a Web3 startup is far from easy. Many challenges and obstacles will stand in your way. In this entrepreneurial adventure, the tools you will use to create and develop your Web3 business will be crucial.

Web3 is the next iteration of the web which consists of decentralized networks built on blockchains. Developers need to become familiar with the tools used to build it.

Gentle introduction to the machine learning models that power ChatGPT. Starting with the Large Language Models and dive into the revolutionary self-attention mechanism that enabled GPT-3 to be trained.

The era of utilizing digital technology to its most beneficial potential is close. Blockchain, IoT, Metaverse, Metahuman as well as Machine Learning will make it possible.

Use cases for blockchain are not restricted to NFTs and coins. There is much to be developed on the customer experience and marketing campaigns.

Creating a Solidity Project with VSCode, Hardhat, Waffle, and ethers.js

Most new Web3 developers have trouble understanding: when you ship code, it can’t be patched and updated later. This is a big departure from the iterative development method that we all know and love...

John Croft built an amazing 17,000 sq-ft (1579 sq-m) dream home that is completely powered by solar and geothermal energy.

I consider how to use geothermal technology to power the electricity in my home. The long-term implications are astounding. However, the main reason we don't see this proliferate the globe is ignorance & upfront costs.

MIT created a new kind of thin-film speaker that’s as thin and flexible as a sheet of paper, but is also able to generate clear, high-quality sound, even when bonded to a rigid surface like a wall.

Use AWS SAM with Parameter Store to build multiple environments across multiple AWS accounts securely.

A sucker is born every second. Do your research before blindly opening your wallet to anyone & anywhere online.

Brief overview of the different layers of the Blockchain.

CloudFormation is a great tool for describing your AWS Infrastructure as Code. In this post I went through some of the things I learned while working with CloudFormation.

Solar panels for home has been a disruptive technology, but what if we could scale down wind turbines and install them on our home? In theory, it sounds like a good idea to diversify our home power generation...

Create a smart contract that will allow users to enter text at the time of mint, generate SVG data that includes our user input, encode this into Base64, and add this into our metadata that is also base64 encoded.

Learn how to use smart contracts in your frontend code since they are required to get ERC20 token balances.

If you ask ten different people what Web3 means, you will get ten different answers. Some may discuss cryptocurrency, others decentralized identity, and yet others will call you names and tell you it is a horrible idea.

At least that’s what the critics keep yelling at me. “*Ethereum is like a big, juicy bowl of pasta. It’s pure spaghetti code*,” they say.

Some new experiences using headsets and mixed reality will be in your face – quite literally – but other implications will be harder to spot. As with all new categories, we’ll see intended and unintended innovations and ⋯

Cryptocurrencies, ICOs, magic internet money — it’s all so damn exciting, and you, the eager developer, want to get in on the madness. Where do you start?

The architecture of Web3 applications (or "DApps") are completely different from Web 2.0 applications.

This article proposes 2 methods to avoid incurring the expense of using a NAT Gateway for projects that are in their infancy, where the goal is a low cost method to demonstrate an idea and gain quick feedback.

Penguin Karts is an immersive 3D battle-racing game built on the blockchain. Essentially, it takes the arcade-style kart racing you know and love and seamlessly introduces NFT dynamics alongside a Play-to-Earn system.

The questions you must ask your customers before migrating their on-premise workload to AWS Cloud.

If you want to develop serverless event-driven applications using AWS, you probably heard two names: Lambda Functions and Simple Queue Service (SQS)!

This article highlights the steps we took to reduce the size of our NodeJs apps running on AWS Lambda but it still relates to any Node app running anywhere.

Serverless computing has been a hot topic for the past few years and almost all of the cloud service providers have introduced many serverless services for their users and most of these services have actually made developer’s ⋯

Evolution of Melio’s Payments Platform system built on AWS serverless architecture — why we chose this technology, the ups and downs we encountered, how it enables us to make gradual changes and our next steps.
