The Avalanche Learn Pathway is the fastest way for developers to learn how to build financial applications on Avalanche. Gain knowledge, complete tutorials, and earn AVAX. It’s that simple. Learn more by reading below.

Why Build on Avalanche?

Avalanche is an open-source platform for launching decentralized applications, new financial primitives, and interoperable blockchains. Developers who build on Avalanche can create powerful, reliable, and secure applications and custom blockchain networks with unique rulesets or build on existing private or public subnets.

Avalanche Offers:

  • Scalability
  • Usability
  • Interoperability
  • Fully customizable subnet architecture
  • The ability to build your blockchain and issue unique assets

The Avalanche ecosystem is growing quickly with notable Decentralized Finance projects like Pangolin, Reef, and Injective Protocol actively building on the network.

Figment Learn

At Figment, we care about the long-term growth and longevity of the Web 3 ecosystem, and we understand what developers need to build the next great decentralized application, which is why we have launched Figment Learn.

Learn provides developers with:

  • Free and easy access to the protocols necessary to power their applications via DataHub, our highly available full node infrastructure.
  • Access to written and streamable educational materials and a diverse community built around learning and fostering ecosystem development.
  • Opportunities for developers to earn tokens for completing tutorials and contributing to the community.

We see Figment Learn as the Web 3 Knowledge base that will drive development and grow the Web 3 ecosystem to new heights.

The Avalanche Learn Pathway

The Avalanche Learn Pathway allows developers to earn AVAX while gaining the knowledge they need to build financial applications on Avalanche. We will be distributing $50,000 in AVAX to developers who actively complete tutorials and contribute to the community by creating their own tutorials and supporting the growth of the ecosystem.
