Fast-Track Your Blockchain Journey with RareSkills
RareSkills is the premier education community that services engineers as advanced as protocol leads. As the engineering graduate school of web3, we've helped dozens of professional solidity and blockchain engineers push themselves to learn even more than what they do on the job.
Filling Knowledge Gaps
with Evergreen Foundations
RareSkills is not just about teaching; we're about building knowledge that lasts. We focus on the principles and problem-solving skills that underpin blockchain technology, instead of fleeting tools and frameworks. We're here to save you time, correct your mistakes, and ensure your learning journey is as thorough as possible.

8 Weeks
10-15 Hours/Week
Although the mathematics behind zero knowledge is intimidating, our novel way of teaching it makes it understandable. We will cover enough math so that you can understand the motivation behind the oddities of the languages you’ll use, but not so much that you get lost in theory before doing something practical. We will study circuit design in Circom, and use higher level languages like Zokrates and Noir. Security vulnerabilities specific to zero knowledge proofs will also be covered.

DeFi Bootcamp

FAQs
How much work is required?
RareSkills is for engineers looking to cover their knowledge gaps and develop a comprehensive understanding of blockchain engineering.
​
Although we do have a web2 to web3 course, we primarily serve engineers who already have experience creating smart contracts.
50% of the students who join our program already have a Solidity job.
Some have co-authored ERCs, raised millions in funding for web3 companies, taught solidity at other bootcamps, or work as professional solidity developers.
When we say our community is top notch, we aren’t kidding!
What makes RareSkills different from other bootcamps?
The common thread is that they all have the tenacity to intensively study blockchain for much longer than than the average engineer. RareSkills is not a casual introduction to blockchain. It is the longest, hardest, and most thorough web3 developer training program you will find, and as we continually build out the curriculum, it gets even longer and harder. Our aim is to be your one-stop-shop for becoming an industry leader. Sound like a bold claim? Here are some example student profiles:
-
Web3 technical founders who want to be sure they are building their technology correctly. Fun fact: our students have collectively raised over 8 figures of funding for technical web3 startups.
-
Lead technical solidity developers who are the most senior in their company. Being the most experienced person in the room means you learn the slowest. Engineers who have worked as instructors at other bootcamps, even one who authored an ERC have joined the RareSkills community to level up.
-
Exceptional web2 developers. We generally do not admit students who don't already know some Solidity, but if you want to begin your journey with RareSkills, you can take our introductory Dapp Bootcamp, then move on to the Advanced Solidity Bootcamp and the later courses.
​
RareSkills is an environment for successful people. You will be surrounded by top quality students and of course, top quality instructors.
What kind of students do well in this program?
RareSkills is not for new programmers, there are plenty of other resources to help you if that is your situation. (Replit 100 days of code is a popular resource). If you are experienced at programming but new to web3, we advice you at least become familiar with the ecosystem first (minting NFTs, swappting tokens using a browser and hardware wallet, etc).
