New SpeedRunEthereum Challenges: Fresh side quests are coming! Expect new challenges to level up your smart contract skills. 👀
Batch Program: Batch 12 graduated 14 builders, and Batch 13 is live! We’ll have shorter batches and run them later in the dev journey so builders can get more out of the program.
IPFS Tools: We built a suite of tools to make IPFS easier to use! You can simply run: "yarn ipfs" in Scaffold-ETH to deploy to IPFS! Check it out here!
