all right so welcome guys to this twitter ama for open house where we answer all your questions
no matter what it is just throw it at us and we will we shall answer am Swag Timus. I'm a developer evangelist at the Arbitrum Foundation.
And I am joined today by my colleague, Lorenzo, who
is the head of technology at the Arbitrum Foundation.
Why don't you say hi, Lorenzo?
Lorenzo S.: Hey, guys.
Super happy to be here.
Thank you, Swag, to put this together.
Really excited to start to look into Open House
and everything we're doing there in India.
Yeah, as you said, I'm working in the foundation
in six months now.
And we're starting to do different things
with DevRel and data.
And yeah, today it's really about India
and what we are doing with Open House.
So we can focus on that and see also if people have questions,
they can request or send on the chat and we take it from there.
Sounds great. Thanks, Lorenzo.
And yeah, I saw one request to speak already actually,
but I think that person
retracted it. But yeah, if you have questions, or if you want to speak, just put in a request,
and I will approve it. Just make sure not to show like a token or something. That's not what we're
here for. But otherwise, we're super happy to take any questions. So even if you have no idea what
this is all about, if you've never heard of OpenHouse before, just raise your hand, ask a question and we will approve you.
And yeah, I think we're just super excited about this initiative that we've put together.
If you've noticed, we've had the Learn program running for almost two weeks now, which is now basically wrapping up.
for almost two weeks now, which is now basically wrapping up.
It was basically some very nice online courses
that you could complete at your own pace,
as well as some workshops by OpenZeppelin, for example,
about unlocking Rust for high-performance smart contracts.
So lots of good stuff there,
and you can still do it at your own pace.
It's still available.
It's not gonna go away. And you can also watch it at your own pace. It's still available. It's not going to go away.
And you can also watch a recording of the workshops.
So if you haven't done so, check it out.
It's at openhouse.arbitrum.io.
You can look at it, check it out, and do so.
But yeah, if you have any questions, just request to speak.
If this is your first time in a Twitter space,
there's a button at the bottom that says request to speak.
And then you can join us here and you can chat with us,
ask us anything about Open House, about Arbitrum,
whatever's on your mind,
whatever you would like to have an answer to.
While we're waiting for a question, Swag,
we can zoom out and talk a moment about Open House.
This could also trigger questions.
And we could explain a bit like the initiative,
explain like it's a multi-step.
We started with the first one, the learnings,
and the fact that Open House is actually a multi
region initiatives that we are starting from India. The goal here is really
interacting with people that are building in Arbitrum already or people that they are
curious to start to build in Arbitrum and they want to have a starting point.
So that's how Open House started.
And so now we are super happy that we started from India
and currently we are still in that region, but more to come.
Maybe just to focus and double down on India,
we're going to launch in the next few days
the online Buildathon, the 22nd of August.
And then in September, we're going
to have the Hacker House in Bangalore.
So as you can see, this is like the beginning of the journey.
And we just released the learnings,
and we are already excited to see people starting to prepare themselves for the online buildathon.
But nevertheless, it's a few steps. So it's not just one single initiative. It's a series of different activations that start in India.
But then we're going to also go in other regions.
So even if you are not just India-based, don't worry.
We're going to also interact in other places.
Yeah, so just at the high level.
Swag, if you want to jump in and maybe specify other key dates,
that's also good.
Yeah, for sure.
So as Lorenzo said, August 22nd is when the billet font
starts.
You can already go on HackQuest on the platform
and register and sign up and put together a profile,
create a project.
So that's going live in the next few days.
So you can be ready for it.
And of course, the Learn program is a perfect way
to level up your skills beforehand.
Apart from that, we obviously are
going to have a really nice agenda
that we've cooked up for the Buildathon
and also for the Hacker House.
We've already published that for the BuilderFone
a few days ago.
So there's going to be some really nice workshops in there,
both from the Arbitrum death row team,
but also from some really good external people and projects.
And yeah, it's going to be exciting.
So make sure to sign up openhouse.arbitrum.io.
And again, if you have any questions, just request to speak.
And we'd be super happy to just chat and answer your questions.
Yeah, maybe let's talk about the Hacker House a little bit.
You can actually secure a spot for that Hacker House in Bengaluru
if you win in the Buildathon.
So the top three winning teams get to go to Bengaluru, guaranteed.
So everybody else has to apply and we will approve based on who's a good fit.
But if you win the Buildathon, you get to go there, guaranteed.
So that's pretty cool, I would say.
And yeah, it's an amazing venue in
bengaluru uh it's for around 100 people i think uh so it's it's it's really amazing and uh yeah
we'll share more details around the hacker house soon as well so you know how to register and sign
up you can actually register right now already um uh on openhouseium.io. There's a Luma registration page that you can use for that.
So make sure to do that.
And yeah, any questions, raise your hands, request to speak.
Just let us know.
And yeah, I'm going to pass it back to you, Lorenzo.
Maybe you have some other details to add to either
the BuilderFone or the HackerHouse
that might be interesting for people to know.
Yeah, so on the Buildathon particularly, I think one of the reasons why we call Buildathon and not
an hackathon is that we want to push the idea that people can apply even with projects that already started. So that's a slightly
but important difference compared to other stuff. The idea is that we want to give you a venue to
also have feedback loop, having people that are there for you, that they can run workshops,
but also answering questions,
provide feedback on the product that you are building.
So I think this is super important to keep in mind
that it is around the people building in the ecosystem.
So this open house goes in that direction,
giving you the chance to interact with Arbitrum directly,
talking with the DevRel from different also partners.
We have things coming up.
It's not just Arbitrum itself, the initiative, but it's a broader initiative.
But in terms of you as a builder, you as an engineer building your software,
I think this is a great opportunity to really have a great
feedback loop that allows you to build. And even if you start, that's great. It's a good place to
start. But if you already start and you have something and you feel like, oh, I can't do it
because actually in an hackathon I should have just brand new code. That's not the case. Actually here we are super keen to
see people that already have something or they are planning to do it. So that I think is an
important element to keep in mind. And then the other item is that if you are in the other spectrum,
so you are a beginner, that's absolutely fine as well. And this is also the reason why we started with the learnings in preparation of what
comes later.
That's the learnings.
You can do it at your own piece.
They are recorded.
Some they are maybe live, but then they will be recorded, so you can go there and start
to learn.
If you never end up to interact with the Web3 space,
that's absolutely fine.
This is a step-by-step process that
allows you to begin your journey in the Web3 space.
And yeah, I know that here in Twitter most of you
probably already interacted with,
but if it's not the case, then, well, you're super welcome.
We're keen to hear also questions from people
that maybe at the beginning of their journey.
Yeah, and I think I want to stress one of the points
you mentioned, Lorenzo, is that if you have an idea
that you're building on already, then I think OpenHouse
is the perfect fit for you
because you get tailored support.
You can bring your existing project code,
and you can take it to new heights.
And it's basically the perfect opportunity
for you to push your project to the next level,
get ready to an MVP in the build-a-thon,
and then take it beyond to a ready-to-launch state, at
least in like a first iteration during the Hacker House.
And so also maybe one thing we can talk about are the prices for all of these things.
We have yet to announce them, but I can kind of like give you a sneak peek right now.
So for the online build-a-thon that's starting August 22nd, we have up to 33k in prices.
And there's actually a very significant prize for the winning team.
So it's 15k USDC for the winning team.
So if you have a good project, that is, I think, quite attractive.
And it goes down to 5k for second place and 2.5k for third place.
second place and two and a half K for the third place.
And then we also have some, some smaller prices for kind of like the best DeFi or AI project
and so on.
So we have like, I think like seven or eight tracks like that.
So even if you don't end up winning, you can still learn and take away lessons from that
and not go home empty handed.
But yeah, if you are, if you're building a project,
or if you know someone that's building something that's still kind of in the works, I think this
is a great opportunity to win up to 15k. And then you also secure a spot to the Hacker House, get to
go to Bengaluru and yeah. Yeah, speaking of the Hacker House and the prices there, it's going to be even better.
So you can win up to 77k in prices at the Hackerhaus in Bangalore if you place in the top three.
So yeah, it's a lot of support for you waiting.
All you have to do is basically just sign up and show up and put in the work.
And we are here to support you uh all
along that journey and i don't know lorenzo if you want to talk about what comes after the hacker
house uh do we want to share a sneak peek of of that as well maybe to to give people an idea
yeah i think like probably going back to to concept of the open house.
So it's a journey that takes different steps.
We're really at the beginning.
So what we want to provide is a path that starts with online activations,
like this one, for example, but then extends over time. So one of the reasons why we do that is we want to know even better our ecosystem.
We have already a super healthy ecosystem in Arbitrum,
and we want to double down in that area.
But we also notice that when people are at the beginning
of the journey, one of the key aspects
is to keep interacting with them to really understand who
are the most interesting project.
And so really going in that path, we want to, for the most successful one, provide even
like a kind of acceleration.
And so we are working on that.
We want to figure it out how it looks like this program, but at the same time, we want to push the idea that this is the beginning
of a multi-step interactions with Arbitrum and the entire ecosystem.
We are also keen to bring other founders that already delivered crazy stuff in Arbitrum
and give the chance to people that are beginning
of their journey to interact with them.
At the same time, if you have a more mature project,
it doesn't mean you can't interact in those sessions.
I think it's a really, really open and broad catch.
Here, the goal is to know better the ecosystem
and then support those funders and engineers and builders
across their journey.
So it's a first step in that direction.
I think we have been already active in different areas.
But this is open house.
It's another tool we are adding on top of others that are there to support the ecosystem.
Yeah, I don't know if there are questions. I see that every time we need someone that breaks the highest,
I would love to hear if people, for example, have maybe signed up already, they have feedback about that, or they're planning to do it.
You don't need to have like a, it's a very informal chat.
So you can definitely interact and talk and maybe tell us what you are currently building.
We would love to hear what you're planning to do or what are you thinking to do.
Absolutely. So yeah, don't be scared to to request to speak i know we have like 40 people listening or something right now but uh nobody can see you at least and no need to be shy um yeah we'd love
to hear from people what do you think about the program uh if you have questions if you've signed
up what you're planning to build uh let us know uh just request to speak and i will approve you
um but yeah i I think that was a
pretty good overview of Open House.
Again, I'm just going to repeat some key
dates. So August 22nd
for the bill of phone start
and the Hacker House takes place
September 18th till
21st and you can already
sign up for that one as well
and hopefully get approved by us.
But yeah, let us know guys what
do you think we have like 40 people i see some familiar faces in in the chat so that's very nice
um yeah let's go let's let's ask some questions guys i'm sure somebody has a question for us
this is an ama we can't have an AMA with no questions, guys.
Come on.
This is the Outroom fam.
I expect better from you.
I think it will be interesting to also hear from people
that maybe they don't know yet.
If maybe you are playing around with different type of idea,
that could be also one of the good things to do.
Like you have the opportunity, there
are different people here that they can also start to help.
OK, I saw some requests.
So we have Avi and Andrea, and I think Arbitrum Africa as well.
And I see one more request.
Okay.
So I don't remember who was first, but maybe Avi, let's uh let's start with you um good to see you
good to meet you uh what do you have for us yeah thanks for giving me mike uh first of all thank
you for organizing this space uh yesterday i heard about this concept by my friend who is also in
space right now so my question was that was that we need a team to participate
only or we can
participate solo also? Or if we
need a team, how many members can be there?
That's my question.
That's a great question.
You can totally participate solo
as well in the Buildathon.
I think for VHackerHouse, we would probably
recommend to find a team, but there will
be team finding events for both the Buildathon and the Hacker House, so you don't have to stay solo, right?
So we will make it easy for you to find a team, to find teammates, to find a project to work with.
But if you insist on being a solo dev, then obviously that is totally fine too.
If you trust in your own capabilities and you want to go solo at it,
then we will absolutely not stop you.
But we will make it easy for you to find a team
and network a bit with all the other participants as well.
So yeah, looking forward to see you, Avi, in the BuilderFone.
And hopefully, we hack a house as well.
Yeah, thank you so much for leaving my door.
You're welcome. You're welcome.
Also, if you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
And yeah, let's go over to Arbitrum Africa.
Yeah, go ahead.
Which type of project you encourage to build us?
Can you give me some examples and all
so i don't really want to give an example because then people might take that as us
kind of like dictating what to build right and we don't really want to do that
but you can build anything basically right this is bringing um bringing your ideas to life bringing even your existing projects um and accelerating that and so um we don't have any specific kind of like
examples of what to build because uh what we're looking for at the end of the day is a pro is a
it's like a project that is unique and innovative and uh and that people are interested
to take beyond, to take it to the next level
and ship it on mainland, for example,
and grow it and be successful.
So yeah, just surprise us with anything.
Be creative, be innovative, be bold.
This is the time to really let your ideas shine.
And yeah, so hope that answers your question, Avi.
A bit to build on this, that's what I was saying.
We basically decided to have prizes that they talk about the best projects.
So you have basically first, second, and third as a main prizes.
And this is because we didn't want to lock the creativity
towards a specific topic.
We are very keen to see people experimenting
in different areas.
So you are really welcome to try the craziest stuff
and try to aim for those prizes that are general purpose.
At the same time, we put together a few other tracks
that I don't think are really proper prizes,
more like acknowledge the fact that people did in different areas
something interesting.
Maybe they were not as good as the winners,
but we're going to have prices towards, for example,
DeFi, gaming, stablecoin, AI, social finance.
So there are different areas,
but I think the main takeaway here
is to see people experimenting
and trying to build something as they fit.
So as long as it's a great project,
we're super keen to see that.
So I hope it tried to fill this gap heavy,
but feel free to ask anything if it's not that clear.
Yeah, it's clear.
Thank you so much.
And one more question,
like I have some newbies also who want to onboard.
So like I repeat from my mind also,
but how you will teach someone who is properly a beginner,
which language I suggest him learn those languages and all,
which skills they have to work.
Can you guide?
There is a few already learnings that start from really early stage.
So my recommendation would be to start on that.
And then there are, during the build-up also, moments where people can come and ask if they're blocked or going in Discord.
That's also feasible.
So I think it's a good way to start
these type of online activations.
Yeah, to add to that, during the Build-A-Fone,
we will have basically AMA sessions very similar to this,
but a bit more focused on what people are building
or what kind of issues people have.
And so during the Build-A-Fone, you
can approach us during these sessions
and ask us questions live and get support. But you can also get support async on the Arbitrum Discord. We
have support there as well. There's an open house channel. And there will also be feedback
sessions. So basically, you can pitch your project to us during the Buildathon and get
feedback right away and see kind of like, okay, what do we think um does this have a product market fit is this a
good idea do we like it um what kind of suggestions could we make to maybe improve it or or to give
feedback in that direction right so uh there's plenty of support uh doing the bill of fun and
as lorenzo mentioned we have the learn program that is um still available so you can just uh go there
go through the lessons and and it starts at a very early stage.
So it's perfect for a newcomer to Web3.
So does that answer your question, Avi?
Yeah, thank you so much.
Awesome, great to have you, Avi.
Let's keep moving.
I've kind of lost track of who was next,
but so I see
Uce. I hope I'm not butchering your but it's not doing anything.
Okay, I see Bobby as well.
Let's see.
Okay, Bobby, I think you're a speaker as well now.
You still have to... There you go, I think now you're a speaker, Bobby.
Hello, good afternoon.
Hey, how's it going?
I'm good. It's going fine.
Awesome. Do you have a question for us
can you disable the sound in the background because we can hear everything double and it's very loud
oh i'm connecting from nigeria where are you connecting from Nigeria
Where are you connecting from?
So I'm in Germany
Okay
But can you hear me clearly now?
Yep, I think it works now
Okay
What is this record call all about?
I just joined now
Sorry, can you save it again? What is the record call all about i just joined now so can you say that again what is the record call all about
i'm not sure what you're asking are you asking if this twitter space is being recorded
is this a live call right this is live yeah yeah what was live call all about
live yeah yeah what was life called all about oh what is it about gotcha yeah so so this is about
open house open house is an initiative by the outroom foundation and we talked about it a little
bit earlier in the call but it's basically a free phase um program that starts with some online
learning uh with like some online courses that you can go through if you're new to Web3 to kind of make some first steps
in terms of smart contract development.
And then the second stage is an online build-a-thon
that runs for three weeks and starts this Friday.
And we have some prizes and workshops for that.
And the third stage is a Hacker House in Bengaluru.
So that's Open House and it's a program designed
to take the project of people that participate
to the next level and accelerate their growth.
Does that make sense to you?
Yeah, very, very.
I love that.
I'm talking about the hackers group.
I would love to be a part of it.
Sorry, can you say that again?
You said something about Hackers Group, right?
Yes.
So there's a BuilderFone, which is online,
and then there's a Hacker House in India, in Bengaluru.
The Hacker House, are they going to teach us
how to hack
notices about hacking or what is it all about?
Yeah, so the idea is that you would take your project to the Hacker House.
So we basically expect people to already have a project for the Hacker House,
but you don't have to.
You can also come up with an idea during the Hacker House
and then you would build on it.
Right.
Um, so we don't, we don't directly teach you like smart contract development at the
hacker house, um, but we will obviously provide support and there's workshops for
different areas for people, um, to, to kind of like deepen their knowledge in certain
areas.
Um, and so, uh so for the Hacker House,
we do expect you to have some experience
when it comes to smart contract development already.
Does that answer your question?
Yeah.
Gotcha.
Is this group on WhatsApp or only on Tele, only on X?
So it's not on WhatsApp, it's on X.
There's also a Discord channel for Open House on the official Arbitrum Discord.
And then the Buildathon, for example, is on a platform called HackQuest.
So you can go to arbitrum.hackquest.io and you can sign up for the Buildathon on there.
Okay, thank you very much.
You're welcome, You're welcome.
Okay.
I see...
Can I ask a question?
I see...
Yes, are you Uchi?
Yeah, yeah, sure.
So, yeah, for sure.
Thank you very much for allowing me to speak.
My questions are in two sets.
So one, I understand there's going to be like a training for people that are just getting into arbitrage to learn how to code.
That is going to be virtual.
But I think more of the question lies in when Haka House starts, what is the criteria for people to get in?
house stats, what is the criteria for people to get in?
One of my experience in the space is that people in my region, Africa, for example,
have limited, what would you say, opportunity to get into this sort of programs.
What's the guarantee that people, especially in Africa, get the opportunity to go to India
or wherever the Haka house is to participate in them?
Yeah, that's a great question.
Could you mute yourself while I'm speaking?
Awesome, thank you.
So that's a great question, right?
And I think that's something that many people are thinking about actively,
like how can we reduce the barriers for participation?
I think one of the realities is that Open House is region-based, so we will have different cohorts
for different regions, and this first region that we are starting out with is India. So it is
uh is india right and so it is it is like focused and tailored more on the indian
um developer markets right uh for like indian developers uh and so if some people from africa
can make it and join i think that would be amazing um but it's not really tailored for
african people at this point right um but uh as we progress uh with open house we will uh go to
different regions as well and so africa may uh may be one of those regions in the future, like maybe in 2026, one of the open house regions is going to be Africa. And then it's going to be much easier for people in Africa to attend because the hacker house for that would also be in Africa. Right. So that's one part of the answer. And then the second part is kind of like what guarantees
that anyone can participate in the hack also
that anyone is getting approved, right?
And so the reality is that we can't approve everyone, right?
Because we only have like space for a hundred people
or so at the venue.
And so we have to filter. So how do we do that? Basically, we look
at what kind of information people provide us with. So that might be how long have you been
in the Web3 space already? Do you have developer experience? Have you built a project before? Do
you already have a project idea? Do you have teammates already that you want to work with?
And so on and so forth. So we look at all these criteria and then we would create a ranking of
people and see, okay, who would be an amazing fit for this? And based on that, we make an informed
decision. Because ultimately, we have to kind of do that to filter people.
Like, there's no other way to go about it, right?
We only have like 100 spots,
and so we have to do some filtering.
But Lorenzo, I don't know if you're in touch on that,
but I hope that makes sense, Uce.
No, it does.
Sorry, can I go?
Yeah, go ahead.
Can I speak?
Okay, so thank you very much.
You've pointed to, you've answered some of the questions,
but this is more of a statement than a question now.
Because I think one of the problems that we face here in Africa most of the time
is you learn a particular tech, a stack,
and then you're saddled with just knowledge
and not a pathway to move forward with what you've learned.
So I like the idea that you've mentioned
that there's going to be space for Africans in the future,
but I think it's something that is worth looking into,
you know, because the more you stay without working
or doing something on what you've learned,
it seems to, like, evaporate in some sense.
So I think it will make sense if more considerations
can be given for these kind of opportunities
for people in this region.
It's more of a statement than a question anyway.
Got you.
And yeah, I think we definitely hear you.
And I think is one of the challenges.
But at the same time, as Swag was saying, we want to be multi-regions.
So it's definitely a possibility that Africa will be one of those.
And when it comes down to the online aspect, I think one of the great things is that you can still interact with all the online activations such as for example today but
even applying in online houses is possible despite its targeting specifically India this one so
it's of course not ideal but we live in an online world where we can definitely do also things
remotely so yeah thank you I don't know if there are also other questions from others so just in in an online world where we can definitely do also things remotely. So, yeah.
I don't know if there are also other questions from others.
So just in the interest of time, I would like to iterate over others.
We do have someone.
Swag, I just quickly wanted to introduce myself. Hey, folks.
This is Aditi, the India Community Manager joining in from Arbitrum India.
And we have received a few questions from the community at the Open House Gather events
that have happened already in Delhi and Hyderabad, which will be happening next weekend,
this coming weekend in Mumbai and Pune as well.
One thing that a lot of Indian developers I heard have it on their mind
is they want to understand what happens after the hack, right?
When they go through this journey of learn, build and hack, what happens after that and how does the team support that?
Also, folks, I completely understand Hindi.
So if there's anyone who is hesitating to ask a question, please feel free to ask in Hindi as well for the Indians here, and I'd be very happy
to translate it to Swag and Lorenzo here.
Great question, Aditi.
In terms of next steps, I think it's important that we frame also open house within the entire
ecosystem.
So, there are a number of programs already happening, even the Arbitrum Audit Security Program.
There are multiple grants.
So what does it mean going through the open house journey
is that you start to be...
Sorry, I accidentally pressed on mute, everyone.
Sorry, Lorenzo, go ahead.
Oh, sorry, I'm back.
So I was saying like framing it as a basically open house,
as a way to be in touch with Arbitrum.
So once you learn and build and hack,
it means that now you start to have a relationship
that is within the Arbitrum ecosystem
and you can also access to the rest of the ecosystem.
So while we want to have even a proper acceleration in mind,
one of the things that Open House bring immediately
is basically the access to the rest of the ecosystem.
So I think in the short term, this
means we can introduce those themes that are the most successful, but also the most promising.
Sometimes you are not successful at your first attempt, but it doesn't mean you are not worth it and maybe you need to mature.
So we allow you also to access the rest of the initiatives that are happening in the Arbitrum ecosystem.
So, yeah, I think this is a bit of how I would frame it.
There are people not just in DevRel, there are people in marketing, such as DT, for example,
helping on these, there is people in ecosystem also working on these.
And there are people in the entire Arbitrum ecosystem helping to realize that.
So I think it's a really great opportunity, Open House, to be in touch with Arbitrum and discover all the tools you can leverage while you're building in this ecosystem.
Makes sense. Thank you, Lorenzo. I just wanted to bring it to the notice of everyone.
Thank you, Lorenzo. I just wanted to bring it to the notice of everyone.
And like we said, in the favor of time, would love to hear the questions from builders who are participating or potential participants for Build and Hack in India.
And for any other questions, please feel free to DM our Petrum India account and we will make sure that we get back to you in time.
Awesome. Thank you, Aditi. We have two more people raising their hand.
I think, Jason, I think you were first. So let's go with you, Jason.
How's it going?
All right, Jim, Jim. Thank you for having me.
having me um yeah i just wanted to say um i have a thread that i wrote that pretty much covers um
some basic questions about arbitrum open house so i don't know if i should send that to you or
i should just write i'm pinning up i feel like that would like cover up most of the basic questions
questions anybody just joining this basement I have so can you can you repeat
anybody just joining this space might have
that are you saying we should put together a doc with both basic questions
or and like answers to them or what are you asking sorry no I said I have a
trade-off routine oh yeah well you're in the perfect place for that.
You can just ask.
I have a thread I have written that covers basic questions on Arbitrum.
I have a thread.
Yeah, so if you have questions, you can just ask us right here.
I didn't get that, sorry.
No, I think he is saying he has a thread covering a lot of those questions.
So I think the ideal thing is you could reply on our thread,
and then we will probably retweet later if that works.
It's great that you did it, actually.
All right.
Gotcha, gotcha.
Sorry, I didn't get that completely.
But yes, Jason, we can do that.
Okay, cool. Let's move on to Raful, Jason, we can do that. OK, cool.
Let's move on to Raful.
You're also raising your hand.
How are you?

web 3 i just recently explored and it got me a little nerve inside me that what is this actually because my friends and many of my mentors are also telling me you
should go here explore hackathons and many of the things and I have also got to know what selenium
I'm also a AI automation builder so I use selenium to for the use of as a scrapper.
So yeah, from there I get to know and have an opportunity at Temp Wallets.
And I just recently joined as an intern and currently I am learning from you guys.
And you all are very experts and I need to learn a lot of things but i'm kind of confused uh that
how i should learn uh what are the resources i should follow in a very free way and i want to
know more about arbitrum because there are a lot of uh like i know about you guys like Arbitrum Arbitrum and everywhere I just learned
heard about you so can you just clarify me with all the basics and a little bit
basic so that I can start my journey from here thank you thank you so much
gotcha okay so for the sake of time I have like three really good
recommendations for you.
So with Open House, this program that we've created, we have a learn program. You can access that at arbitrom.techquest.io.
And you can find that all over our socials as well. So you can go there and you can learn.
And that's a program that is basically for beginners to web free to take them into the first steps
of smart contract development.
So I would do that and go through those courses
and it should teach you some basic stuff.
As a second point,
I would go to the Arbitrum developer documentation.
You can just Google that or go to arbitrum.io, our website,
look at the developer documentation.
There are introductions to all the parts of our protocol,
the tech stack, how to get started deploying smart contracts.
It is very good.
So that's my second recommendation.
And my third recommendation would be to start
some kind of like solid decoding tutorials
like CryptoZombies, that's a very popular one,
which also teaches
you some basics so yeah these are my top three recommendations if you're new to the space and
new to smart contract development go to them it will level up your skills you will learn a lot
and from there you will you will keep exploring and keep learning
yeah yeah and that's really uh make me aware about all of the things i just recorded all of this
so that i can able to track it down and again i go there if i forget any anything i just able to
get those recordings and find out whether I should go.
Thank you so much, Arbitrum.
Thank you so much, guys.
You guys are awesome.
And I will surely each and every time if the space is happening,
I will be joining every time. I know.
I know.
I need to learn.
I need to learn from you.
Thank you so much.
Also, Rahul, feel free to DM us on Arbitrum India account. Aapko jo bhi
help chahi ho ga we'd be very very happy to
help with suggestions
taakya apko record na karna pade and you
are able to follow through well.
Chiyo ma ma ma ma
tu bas starting hoi hai.
I want to get to learn a lot from people.
I want to know a lot about this.
Thank you so much ma ma.
No 100%.
I think I see Nilesh also is requested for quite some time.
So, yeah.
Oh, but we already have a speaker.
Who were you saying, Aditi?
Sorry.
I see Nilesh has requested to ask a question.
Maybe we bring him after NXN, who's the speaker already?
So I can see Keevan.
Keevan has been requesting for some time, and I had approved him, but there were some issues.
So let's go with Keevan, and then let me see if I can approve the other person in the meantime.
So Keevan, are are you here can you hear us
hey guys can you hear me yes we can hear you
go ahead oh i think i think here's some connection issues um let's go with uh new rope uh nx neurop are you here
we can hear you i think annex neurop can Europe. Can you hear us? Can you speak?
Yes, you can speak
We can hear you. Just go ahead and ask. Okay.
Is Arbitrum... This Arbitrum Hackers home,
they don't have a WhatsApp group or Telegram group
where people can join and stay with them
and they will teach us on what to do
and we can share our ideas too.
Yes, so there is no WhatsApp or Telegram group for that.
I think the best way to communicate
is to join the official Arbitrum Discord
and we have an open house channel in there.
And to sign up, you just go to openhouse.arbitrum.io
and you can apply for the Hacker House there,
and you can also apply for the BuilderFont that's starting in a few days,
which is online.
Does that answer your question?
Yes. Thank you.
You're welcome. You're welcome.
Okay, let's see. Is Keevan here? I don't think so.
I see some other people.
Okay, let's see. I can see someone else.
One second.
I can see Nilesh now.
I can hear you. Yes. Go ahead. Before I start, I just want to congratulate every India has written 1k followers. Awesome. So my question is like, so I'm a dev and basically
I'm from a non-tech site and i just jumped to take side and like learning
so i have learned smart contacts and stuff and like what can you give me a roadmap to join an
algorithm and work to that like how can i get into that start start working on that
are you are you asking about how to get into open houseouse? Yeah, to be part of it.
Yeah, that's a great question.
So all you have to basically do is just sign up for the BuilderFound and for the HackerHouse.
So to do that, you just go to openhouse.arbitrum.io.
So that's our website.
I'm not sure how to put stuff.
I thought there was some way to add links to a space,
but go to openhouse.albitrum.io
and you can see the build and the hack
and you just click on it
and you can go there and apply and register for it.
It's very easy.
So how can I be like part of Albitrum?
Like how can I start my journey to work in that?
If I want to be part of Albitrum?
Are you saying you want to...
I think OpenHouse is really this opportunity.
It's really a path that you can go through it.
And one of those starts with openhouse.arbitrum.io.
And then once you go there, you can basically sign up.
There is a learning experience that you can do on your own time.
But then also there is the build-a-turn happening.
So you're going to also have the chance to apply what you learned.
Either as a solo, it or even better if you can put
together a team i think it's nicer experience and gives you much more chances to put together
something that is probably more solid you know so i think that's basically what we're doing here with with openhouse.arbitum.io.
Yeah.
I'll just, my first work will be signing up and start learning a lot more.
Thank you, guys.
You're welcome.
Awesome.
That's what, should we maybe wrap up
and maybe with the reminders also of the key dates and key websites.
So if there is any pending question, we can then ask that.
Absolutely. So let's wrap it up here.
I think we've been going at it for quite some time.
So a quick reminder on key dates.
So go to openhouse.arbitrum.io that is our website
for open house and then you just you will see learn build and hack and you just click on it
and you register so the learn track is still available you can still learn you can still go
through those courses and uh and and that's especially good for a newcomer to web3
and for the build-a-thon it starts august 22nd so make sure to register soon and the hacker house
starts september 18th but you have to register ahead of time so you can also register for that
already so just go to openhouse.outrum.io sign up for the things that sound interesting to you and
we cannot wait to welcome you into the open house experience we have a lot of good stuff cooked up
the agenda for the build-a-thon is juicy the hacker house is going to be an amazing experience
in bengaluru so um yeah hope you guys join us on on this journey and, let's wrap it up. We've been going for almost 45 minutes and we have stuff on our tables that we have to
