BuidlGuidl

BuidlGuidl is a curated developer community helping to grow the Ethereum ecosystem through education, tooling, mentorship, and funding. The journey begins with Speedrun Ethereum, a guided course for learning smart contract development using Scaffold-ETH. From there, developers can join monthly Batches, submit their own dApps, and even qualify for ETH-based grants known as Builder Streams.

What makes BuidlGuidl unique is its focus on actionable learning and public goods. Participants are encouraged to create forkable, open-source tools and prototypes that serve the broader Ethereum ecosystem. Whether it’s building multisig wallets, NFT frameworks, or educational dashboards, BuidlGuidl is a launchpad for developers to contribute meaningfully—and visibly—to Web3.

The project has released and maintains core tooling such as Scaffold-ETH 2, a modern Ethereum development framework combining Next.js, Wagmi, RainbowKit, and TypeScript. Developers can fork hundreds of featured builds, such as abi.ninja, address.vision, PunkWallet, and MultiSig as a Service, to accelerate development cycles or launch new ideas in days.

BuidlGuidl has also introduced Cohort Streams—onchain programmable payment flows that distribute ETH to developers actively contributing toward high-impact goals. These Cohort Streams are forkable and represent a novel way to reward aligned builders over time.

BuidlGuidl operates alongside similar developer communities such as buildspace and ETHGlobal, but with a unique focus on long-term retention and open-source tooling. Unlike bootcamps or hackathons, BuidlGuidl supports builders after their first contribution with mentorship, visibility, and recurring rewards—turning learners into leaders.

BuidlGuidl offers powerful benefits for Ethereum developers of all skill levels:

• Speedrun Ethereum Challenges: Learn smart contract development through gamified tutorials and real-world projects using Scaffold-ETH 2.
• Onboarding Batches: Join a monthly community of peers to code, learn, and collaborate in a mentored group setting.
• Builder Grants: Earn ETH through Builder Streams, smart contracts that pay you as you contribute value to the ecosystem.
• Scaffold-ETH 2 Toolkit: A full-stack, forkable framework combining Next.js, RainbowKit, Wagmi and more—perfect for prototyping.
• Featured Builds & Templates: Fork and extend hundreds of dApps including multisigs, NFT tools, staking dashboards, and wallet apps.
• Real-World Ecosystem Exposure: Collaborate with L2s, core Ethereum teams, and other public goods projects to expand your impact.
• Cohort Streams: Use or fork the novel ETH streaming system to reward builders for measurable, goal-driven contributions.
