Applications for DevRel Uni Cohort 7 are OPEN ๐จ
Deadline: April 25th.
If you're building in AI, Web3, or DevRel, this one's for you ๐งต
Dive into a hands-on program featuring sessions led by @dabit8, @nutlope, @francescoswiss, @buzea200, @PSkinnerTech.
from lurking around speedrun ethereum to getting his mentorship in @DevrelUni c5 to meeting him in person. unbelievable!!!
met @austingriffith today at @EFDevcon ๐ซก
ethereum tool builders:
you never end up in the same room
core devs have calls. security folks have summits. tooling builders have... crypto twitter
let's hang out together at devcon!
nov 3, 4:45pm, workshop 1

Seven weeks ago I had a smart contract security tool that worked, and that nobody could use.
Through @DevrelUni Cohort 7 I built the missing pieces: a MetaMask Snap that warns you before you sign a transaction, a dual-view risk report that speaks both developer and plain English.
Demo Day is here!
Builders from DevRel Uni Cohort 7 are showcasing the projects they've built during the cohort with the wider community.
Come join and ask questions๐๏ธ

Back from touching some ๐ท๐ด grass. The @DevrelUni demo day is here, and you can join too ๐ซถ The last day of cohort 7 deserves some self-reflection, nicely wrapped in a short article.

Writing from the bottom of the heart makes me happy. I was a part of the @DevrelUni Cohort 7 and learnt a lot.
Have shared my experience and learnings, do take a look :)
I've been active in developer communities for years.
Organizing events. Mentoring students. Running workshops. Building spaces for people to learn and grow.
I thought I knew what @DevrelUni Cohort 7 would give me.
That confidence was half right and half dangerous.
Because it didn't just add to what I had it made me question the foundation. Here's what five weeks with five incredible mentors actually did to how I think.

I had been obsessing over building. She made me realize building is only one piece.
If people can't discover your work, understand it quickly, or give you feedback on it the value stays invisible. Distribution and feedback loops aren't extras. They're the work.

"Don't optimize for a title. Become a technologist."
The people who get left behind aren't the ones who lacked talent. They're the ones who got too attached to a specific identity and stopped looking up while the landscape shifted underneath them.
Still thinking about this one daily.

My busiest week of the year. Everything felt like it was slipping.
Then he said: speed without systems is chaos.
I didn't have a motivation problem. I had a structure problem. Those are very different things, and fixing the wrong one wastes months.

Keep products simple enough to explain in one sentence.
Mine took four words: Tinder for developers.
A platform where devs can find hackathon teammates, study partners, collaborators, and contributors matched by goals, not just skills. GitHub login required. Real builders only.
That became the product. Week 4 is also when I finally gave it a name.
Welcome to Navra.

The hardest question of the whole cohort:
Are you building this community for yourself, or for the people in it?
Communities don't survive on branding. They survive on solid foundations good onboarding, real learning resources, and members who feel like the thing was genuinely built for them.
That's the bar I'm holding NavraCommunity to.
Five weeks. One idea that became real.
I wrote the full story every lesson, every moment it clicked, and where Navra goes from here.

5 weeks ago at @DevrelUni , I entered as an engineer focused strictly on code complexity. Iโm leaving understanding that DX, community, and distribution are what actually turn code into an ecosystem.
What I achieved during the cohort:
๐น Deployed 4 modular core contracts for LoreBase on @Base Sepolia ($STORY, Staking, Governor, Fractional IP).
๐น Shifted from pure coding to designing frictionless onboarding loops.
๐น Documented the future of machine-readable docs for AI Agents.

Just wrapped up @DevrelUni Cohort 7 ๐
Over the last few months I:
โ published 3 Substack articles on APIs, developer tooling, and Solutions Engineering
โ shipped multiple npm packages
โ built a Testnet Wallet Agent MCP Server
โ recorded and shared tutorials on YouTube and X
โ explored MCP, AI agents, APIs, and agentic workflows
โ started building an SMS-based wallet monitoring agent
โ continued developing Ovia, a Web3 travel app helping crypto conference attendees discover events, guides, and people around them
The biggest shift wasn't technical.
I stopped thinking about AI as a coding assistant and started thinking about it as infrastructure.
Instead of asking "How can AI write code for me?"
I started asking "How can AI, APIs, tools, and users work together inside a product?"
DevRel Uni pushed me to stop overthinking and start shipping.
Looking back, the most valuable thing I built wasn't a single project it was the habit of building in public.
