crypto is hot. many new devs entering the space. infinite opportunities.

4 tips for new devs:

1. start with an evm-compatible network. most production-ready surface area, best tooling, and most LLM context. shipping velocity ++.

2. dive into ai agents and learn how to compose agents + onchain primitives. start with ai16z Eliza.

3. learn how to build with shared security so you're able to extend your software beyond the constraints of the VM. tremendous upside here as its early days and the surface area is enormous.

4. lean heavily on LLMs for code generation and debugging. cursor and claude sonnet for me, but want to also try newest openai model.

think about it - ai agents could be a chain's secret sauce for winning developers over.

evms are already getting a boost from regular llms, but imagine supercharging an ai with your chain's latest sdk knowledge.

suddenly every dev has their own personal coding buddy who knows your chain and sdk inside and out. game-changer for getting devs to build on your chain.
