Forged knowledge

A path, not a pile

Programs in order: each track prepares the next, from the first block to deploy.

How it works

A path, not a pile

Each program has tracks in order, each track has short courses and each course, lessons. You always know what comes next and how much is left.

Fits your day

5 to 7 minute videos and a 1-minute summary to review anywhere.

How it works

Fits your day

Every lesson has a full video, a 1-minute vertical summary, a podcast, text with infographics and code examples. Use the format that fits the moment.

Made to apply

From concept to real use: in your job, your company or a new business.

How it works

Made to apply

It’s not about memorizing tools. It’s about using AI, Web3 and what just shipped to work better, grow your company or get an idea off the ground.

In step with every release

New tracks and lessons follow what just shipped in AI and Web3.

How it works

In step with every release

When an important update ships, it becomes content: new lessons, code examples and tracks, so you can apply it while it is still new.

Who’s already forging

People who stopped just following along and got hands-on.

“I deployed my first Anchor program to devnet after three weeks. A month earlier I didn’t even know what a PDA was.”

Camila RochaFront-end dev · São Paulo

“I built an agent with the Claude API that puts together my team’s weekly report. It used to take half of every Monday morning; now it takes 15 minutes.”

Diego MartinsData analyst · Recife

“I got my startup’s prototype off the ground in two weeks with the Solana track, and we took 2nd place at our first hackathon.”

Larissa SouzaFounder · Belo Horizonte

“Sparky cleared up, on the spot, a question about Bitcoin I’d had for years.”

Thiago AlmeidaEngineering student · Curitiba

“I listen to the 1-minute summaries on the bus to work. That’s 47 days in a row without breaking my streak.”

Beatriz LimaProduct manager · Florianópolis

“I made the top 10 in the ranking and won a three-month Claude subscription.”

Gustavo PereiraBack-end dev · Porto Alegre

“I finally understood how liquidity pools and slippage work. I redesigned the swap screen of the protocol I work on with that in mind.”

Fernanda CostaDesigner · Rio de Janeiro

“I built a Dune dashboard that tracks the stablecoins my clients use. Now I bring on-chain data to meetings, not news screenshots.”

Lucas OliveiraFinancial consultant · Brasília
