Dive - Week 2

After talking with my mentor, I realised there are still some caveats in my knowledge of the Web3 ecosystem. Following his instructions to give everything a try, I started exploring the most prominent Dapps of Web3 and how they affect the entire ecosystem.

Entry Point

I found a good video series in the resources provided by the ETHIndia Fellowship Organiser. It was the Web2 to Web3 series by Austin Griffith. He created a fun week-long video series where he goes through the basics of Web3 and shows us all the use cases of different Dapps, such as Uniswap, Aave, etc.

He also showed his incredible app called eth.build, which has a drag & drop canvas where users can access several blocks that execute a particular of the blockchain, like creating a public address, etc. Using that app, he created a Metamask clone which generates a bunch of wallet address with private keys, that have the same mnemonic. He briefly went through how improbable it is for someone to have the same mnemonic as someone else.

This was a great experience as it only exposed to several use cases of Web3, widening my horizons. It also gave me a short course on how cryptography makes pseudo-anonymity possible on a distributed and open ledger, the blockchain.

I am going through the second week of his video series, which covers ethers.js and solidity.
