The Web3 Twitter Handbook: Everything You Need to Know to Build and Grow Your Own Decentralized Social Network

Twitter has been one of the most popular social media platforms for users worldwide. However, crypto users realize that a decentralized version of Twitter would be highly beneficial since it would eliminate the negative aspects of Twitter’s centralized platform. Thus, in this course we will build a Web3 Twitter clone from scratch. We will start by writing and testing the smart contract using Solidity and Remix. Then we will deploy the contract to Mumbai test network using hardhat. After that we will use React js to build our frontend and finally use ethers js to interact with the deployed contract. For uploading images we will use Web3 storage IPFS service provider.

To be successful in this guide, you must have the following:
1. Node.js and VS Code should be installed.
2. Metamask wallet extension should be installed in your browser with some test matic tokens in it.
3. Basic knowledge of Solidity, hardhat and React js required.

The stack
In this course, we will build out a full stack application using:
Blockchain - Polygon
Writing Smart Contract - Solidity
UI library - React js & Web3UIkit
Solidity development environment - Hardhat
File Storage – Web3 Storage
Client Library - Ethers js

By the end of the course you will learn all the concepts required to apply for a web3 developer job or even build your own startup in the blockchain industry.
