Today marks a special day for
@the76devs.
Sure we got airdropped some lunch money, but there's something bigger here... 👇
👶 9 months ago me and some friends,
@0xAwera & @solhosty, wanted to create a no frills dev community which is now
@the76devs. A place with no NFT attached, no DAO, no token, no WL, no pressure, and devs of all skill levels, web3 or not, would feel comfortable hopping in.
🤯We have seen mind blowing success with this, ~850 Discord members, and the 76 team deserves very little credit for it. Every day I hop into the Discord server there are goated devs way more gigabrained than me from places like
@SolanaFndn &
@metaplex, helping other community members 🥰 special thanks to
@blockiosaurus and
@beeman_nl and any of the other OGs.
🔊 Another thing that's pretty cool is
@joeymeere and
@adlonymous have been essentially leading a daily coworking space in VC while they build
@StockpileLabs. Next time you see them in there, feel free to hop in and hang out while you work or say hi.
📺 So many cool projects were being posted in the "shipped-it" channel we wanted to start giving devs a stage to share what they are working on. So we started weekly show n tells! Find them on our YouTube. Last week we went over cHack submissions.
💡 With more people joining and cool things happening we quickly discovered that there was a need to curate an on-chain list of all these awesome community members. If we built this though, devs would need to be verified somehow, it needs to be as transparent as possible and there needs to be a public way to get a live snapshot of all the verified devs.
📔 Enter Devnet Directory (link at
@the76devs), an on-chain list of verified Solana developers. Anyone can mint a dev card to apply and we will review your application and verify the NFT. An important feature here is anyone can go to the Devnet Directory website to browser all the devs and also download a snapshot.
- Anyone can apply to be verified
- Anyone can pull the list of devs using an RPC provider like @heliuslabs
🚀 BIG DAY TODAY
And today is a very special day. All of the Devnet Directory members were airdropped two tokens! Thank you
@anonchaindev and
@thedevwifhat!
All of the pieces are coming together and the vision is starting to play out 😎
- Community has gathered.
- Content is being created.
- A place to show off what you're building and get help.
- Express yourself through an on-chain identity and market your skills on the directory home page or via your profile.
-
@solana ecosystem projects take notice of the public good and THE DEVS GET PAID
Thanks for reading! Couldn't have done it without the help of the community and the 76 team.
