Stellar Builder Residency | Fundamentals Workshop

The Stellar Builder Residency, led by Lavenda, welcomes developers to explore the Stellar blockchain through a structured cohort program. The initiative emphasizes the integration of Soroban smart contracts, using Rust programming language, within the Stellar ecosystem. Participants gain knowledge on fundamental blockchain concepts, including accounts and assets, and advanced elements like cross-border payments and decentralized exchanges. The program extends to practical applications like smart contract development and encourages open-source contributions. In addition, a comprehensive introduction to the Soroban smart contract platform, focusing on Rust’s adaptability for smart contracts, is highlighted. The Residency supports skillful development through active engagements, webinars, and an IRL meetup, particularly for Nairobi-based developers.
