How to apply for the residency program:
- Complete Section 1 and 2 of the Udemy course.
(Your registered email for this will enable us to check the status). - Think of a simple idea and build a minimal backend logic based on the Udemy course sections 1 and 2.
You should be able to test the backend via inputs sent from the Cartesi CLI and fetch Notices as outputs on the GraphQL interface.
Please note that you’re free to extend logic of the backend (by generating Vouchers, adding Inspect calls etc.) but it’s not a mandatory requirement. (A github repo with your dApp idea and instructions to test will help us assess the assignment). - Complete this short form to submit your details before 16 August 2024 12PM UTC.
