Proposal: 30-Day Rust/Cosmos/Svelte Workshop for Developers in Underserved Regions

Summary

Seeking $7,500 USD in funding to run a 30-day online/face to face workshop teaching developers to build interoperable blockchain applications using Rust, Cosmos SDK (Ignite CLI), and Svelte. The workshop targets developers in Iran, Tajikistan, and other underserved regions, with open-source outputs and 3 projects selected for grants.

Workshop Overview

  • Format: 30 days (15 tutorials + 15 hands-on projects).
  • Tech Stack:
    • Rust for CosmWasm smart contracts.
    • Cosmos SDK/Ignite CLI for chain development.
    • Svelte + Keplr for frontend integration.
    • IBC for cross-chain applications.
  • Outputs: 15 open-source projects, tutorials, and a developer community.

Sample Projects:

  1. IBC-enabled DEX.
  2. CW-20 token factory.
  3. DAO governance module.
  4. Cross-chain NFT marketplace.

Why Fund This?

  1. Ecosystem Growth: Onboards developers into Cosmos, focusing on CosmWasm and IBC.
  2. Underserved Regions: Bridges the gap for developers in Iran/Tajikistan with limited access to blockchain education.
  3. Scalable Model: Workshop repeats every 2 months; plans to expand to universities.
  4. Open-Source: All materials (MIT licensed) will be publicly available.

Budget Breakdown

Category Cost (USD)
Instructor Fees 3,500
Marketing/Outreach 1,500
Prizes (Top 3 Projects) 1,500
Infrastructure 500
Total 7,500
