Zcash Developer Sprint

Zcash Developer Sprint x LAUTECH Blockchain Club!

Hey Zcash Community,

We are thrilled to announce that the very first Zcash Developer Sprint is officially happening next week in collaboration with the Blockchain Club at Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH)!

If you’ve been looking for a fast, practical entry point into building on Zcash without committing to a multi-week workshop right away, this is your moment.

:shield: What is the Zcash Developer Sprint?

The Sprint is a two-day intensive online workshop designed to lower the barrier to entry for developers. Instead of just reading theory, you will learn by shipping. By the end of this sprint, you’ll have a fully functioning dev environment and the foundational skills to start building privacy-first applications.

:date: Event Details

  • Dates: July 17th – July 18th

  • Time: 7:00 PM (WAT) Daily

  • Where: Free2z (Register via the link below)

  • Registration Link: luma.com/9xidw5ck

:laptop: What You Will Accomplish & Learn:

This is a highly practical, hands-on onboarding experience. Over the course of 2 days, you will:

  • Set up a basic Zcash development environment and connect to a node.

  • Interact with the blockchain directly using common JSON-RPC comman ds.

  • Execute practical exercises, including installing a Zcash wallet, exploring block explorers, and completing a test tran saction.

  • Build and ship a simple application that interacts with the Zca sh network!

:bullseye: Who Should Attend?

Whether you are a Web2 developer exploring Web3, a seasoned blockchain developer new to Zcash, a hackathon participant, or a campus student looking to dive into financial privacy tools, this sprint is built for you.

:green_circle: The Bigger Picture: This Sprint serves as the official “on-ramp” into the broader Zcash developer funnel. Completing this sprint sets you up perfectly to transition into the 6-week Zcash Developer Workshop, the Developer Residency, and future open-source ec osystem grants.

Space is limited, so make sure to reserve your spot!
