Blockchain Programming Course

How to Use Solidity and Smart Contracts to Create Your Own NFTs, Crypto Coins and More

Why Blockchain Development?

Blockchain has taken the world by storm: first it was Bitcoin, then the ICO craze, and now NFTs. What’s next? You can make it happen. 

People have made fortunes in ICOs, NFTs by creating their own and trading them. This course will teach you both, and focus on the first: how to create your own Blockchain Smart Contracts, including Crypto Coins (ERC 20 tokens), NFTs (ERC721 tokens) and more. 

Leverage the power of OpenAI’s automation tool, ChatGPT. Use prompt engineering to generate smart contract code, documentation, names, descriptions, and project ideas. Accelerate your blockchain development with text and code generation software! Generate high-quality NFT images with AI tools. Auto-create media in different styles and file types for smart contracts and tokens with DALL-E, OpenAI’s image generation model. 

What is a Crypto Coin?

A Crypto coin is a digital token such as Bitcoin, Dogecoin, or Filecoin that can be traded on exchanges. There are simple coins (such as Bitcoin) that can be used as currency and rely on supply/demand for their value, and there are also more complex coins (such as Filecoin) where people can use them to do something practical such as storing files online. By the end of this course you will learn how to create both types of coins.

What is an NFT?

An NFT, or Non-Fungible Token is a unique token that cannot be replaced with something else. You may have heart of these lately through the sale of projects such as the Bored Ape Yacht Club (sold for $3.4 million), Cryptopunk (sold for $12 million) and more. These numbers are eye-popping, but just the tip of the iceberg. Lately we’re seen NFTs pop up everything including using them to sell music albums, sneakers (Nike), TV shows, cars, high-end watches watches, Real Estate and more. What kinds of NFTs would you create?

Course Projects

Projects signal to employers that you know your stuff! You’ll build an impressive portfolio of projects that demonstrate your abilities. The Live Classes plan includes the projects below, while the Project Help / Tutoring plan includes these and help with your own custom project.

Project 1: Create Your Own Solidity Smart Contracts

In this project, you will create several Ethereum smart contracts: a data storage contract, a profit splitter contract, and a contract with limited addresses. These are all simple Blockchain contracts that will teach you the basics before you go on to create your own Crypto Coin and NFT. 

After this project, you will have the fundamental knowledge to create more sophisticated contracts like some of the new altcoins that have been growing very fast in popularity.

Project 2: Create/Release Your Own Crypto Coin and NFT

In this project, you will learn how to create smart contracts such as Crypto Coins or NFTs using the Ethereum programming language named Solidity. After this project, you will have your own own and/or NFT and be able to put them on an exchange to start trading them. Imagine a coin named after you that you can buy and sell.

After this project, you will have also learned the fundamentals of Blockchain Smart Contracts, which means that you could even help create new types of Blockchain standards such as voting, identity, or a new type of NFT.

“I absolutely loved the class. What I loved most about the class was that it was live. My understanding of blockchain technology broadened because it was live. Any questions that I had while taking the class were addressed; the communication was spot on. The instructor was so knowledgeable, so welcoming, so helpful. Her presentation of the material was clear. What also had me sold was being able to keep in touch with Lumiwealth when I have questions or need guidance.

– LaToya Pearson

“I really wanted to understand what the blockchain was, what it did, and the potential for entrepreneurs like myself to get involved with it in various ways from doing business, transactions, and helping to better our world. The course helped me hone in on what I wanted to do in the blockchain space. Because I’m an amateur crypto trader I wanted to develop my own coin and now have an understanding of what it takes to create it”  

– Daniel Ramirez

“I wanted to do something different, something that would allow me to have more time to be with my children and allow me to do contract work and work from home through the different avenues that you can take with blockchain programming. The course has given me a better understanding and has opened my eyes to a world that was very new to me. There is a co-worker of mine that has coding experience and we are now able to have discussions. I understand and am relevant in this space. I know how to use Solidity.”
