Curious what projects you use rust on for crypto?


I'm still in the "learning Rust and discovering crypto" phase.

As I have a web+mobile background, I'll probably start with some simple mobile or web apps, a wallet, price alerts, seed phrase gen, ens explorer, etc, basically anything that's crypto / defi / blockchain adjacent to understand the field better and ease into it.

Then, I'll also build stuff from the ground up (build your own blockchain, smart contracts, etc) so that I have a deeper understanding of the basics, not just "hand-wavy" ideas like "freedom, sovereignty, decentralized, store of value, trustless, permissionless", etc.

In parallel, I also plan to do non-crypto stuff to practice Rust and to have an escape route to web Rust in case I don't like crypto all that much or can't get a job right away due to lack of Rust + crypto experience..

Then, I hope, as I have a better understanding of the field, I'll have more interesting project ideas, too.


If you find something solid behind the hand-wavy stuff, I’d really love an email with details.
