Hello Ethereum community! We last spoke on August 5th, how have you been? We’re here to talk about something new we’ve shipped.

You may have already noticed, but we have a new Developers section. For a long time, this content was a wall of links to products that you might find useful when building a dapp. We provide very little context and leave a lot of connecting the dots in your hands. We thought we could do better.
Technical information about Ethereum is often fragmented, which can be a barrier for new developers trying to find their way around.
Getting familiar with Ethereum development can seem like racing uphill against a tide of outdated Stack Exchange threads and middling items. Or like having to wade through murky depths while scouring Twitter’s cryptocurrency for something useful.
So we set out to create an updatable repository for developer content that helps you:
- Learn about Ethereum under the hood
- Experiment with the code
- Understanding the dapp tech stack
And perhaps most importantly, we wanted it to be a place for community collaboration. Anyone can submit PR to improve and maintain the content. We’ve already seen a fantastic willingness from the community to dive in and help us improve the docs, which is amazing.
In other words, we wanted to create mdn for Ethereum. And use our group of fantastic translators to help educate on a global scale.
we in the ethereum.org The team doesn’t have all the answers, but as a community we are amazing at sharing wisdom. Now, you have the place to do it.
how you can get involved
What ethereum.org In general, the portal is open source and there are ways to help, whether you are technical or not.
- Share your wisdom: we need experts to contribute information, code samples and more.
- Send tutorials: iIf you have written a tutorial to help Ethereum developers, please add it to ethereum.org to extend your reach
- Review the content and PR: subject matter expert? Help us make sure our content is as accurate as possible.
- Provide feedback: any feedback about your experiences is really helpful to our team. contact us Twitter either Discord.
- Send us your ideas: everyone can help us design the best possible learning experiences.

Contributors are credited whenever possible.
Right, time for a quick tour…
What’s new?
Visit the site and let us know what you think. Twitter or in our Discord. But here’s a breakdown of what’s new right now:
Ethereum Documentation that gives you the background you need to understand how Ethereum works and how to build on the web3 stack.
You can now access community tutorials and write tutorials for ethereum.org to reach a huge audience, we will translate them to increase their reach.
There are links to dapp development frameworks and others development tools to help you go from an idea to a implemented dApp. And to support the fantastic efforts of the community.
This project is in the MVP phase. We wanted to get a basic level of documentation out as a priority. In the short term, we will be working on a series of improvements that:
- better categorize the projects we list and add more filtering options to make it easier to choose the right tool.
- create more guided learning experiences, specifically for absolute beginners.
- enrich the documents with helpful diagrams and videos (Know one that would be great on one of our pages? Open a PR!).
- get more collaborators to help make the documents as useful as possible.
Many of these ideas came from usability tests we conducted with some amazing members and potential members of the Ethereum community, big thanks to them!
In the long term, we want to include more features that show (as well as count), inject more web3 into the portal itself, and develop incentives/rewards for contributors. If you have any ideas, we’d love your feedback.
