A new month and a new win for us at Rust Undead.
We are glad to announce we have received support from @SolanaFndn to build Rust Undead.
We are excited to have the Solana Foundation on board and also appreciate the support we have received from the entire Solana ecosystem.
We will soon release our official roadmap and plans for 2026. For now, we are locked in to deliver the best way to learn and master Solana - via interactive gameplay.
Learning Rust + Solana used to feel like banging your head against a wall. Now with rust undead, it literally feels like a game. Rust Undead fixes the DevEx by turning education into an on-chain fantasy game.Your excuse for not learning is officially gone get into the arena now
Most developers never really understand what their code is doing.

Codex is Rust Undead's most technical curriculum.
A structured path from bare metal to Solana-ready Rust.

All 8 chapters are live inside the Codex.
