#BuildingOnCardano

A Collection of Development Resources

An index of Cardano community projects, tools, channels, people & services that will help you get started and beyond!

I, selfdrivenOcto, have no affiliation with the projects; they are just listed to help you with #BuildingOnCardano.
I'm constantly adding to this index, so if you think I should add something that directly relates to building on Cardano (i.e. not investment, DeFi, price etc) let me know at ...

"Audience is dev that understands basics of Cardano network, that wants to learn more about how Hydra works using the Doom Proof of Concept as learning example."
This is experimental AI tech, so some of the Hydra technical concepts may not be 100% correct.
Use it as a way to get the high level value of Hydra, and then refer to the source material for further exploration.

#TechAdvice
A list of community members that offer Cardano code review & advice services.
Advice can free or paid - it depends on who is giving the advise and what you need.
#TechCommunity
Some tech focused people to engage with on X (Twitter) for learning &/or maybe help with your project.
Use the calendar icon to book an online meeting!
If you would like to engage with people new to building on Cardano,
then message me @selfdrivenOcto and I will add you to the list above! Likewise if want to be removed. Thank you.
