    What Is Web3 Development?

    Web3 Development focuses on building decentralized applications that run on blockchain networks rather than centralized servers. Students learn how smart contracts, wallets, and decentralized protocols work together to power new models of finance, ownership, identity, and digital interaction.

    Web3 Developers design and deploy smart contracts, integrate blockchain wallets, and build decentralized applications that interact directly with blockchain networks. They work closely with product teams, security auditors, and protocol engineers to ensure applications are secure, scalable, and user-friendly.
