Huge thanks to @ArbitrumDevs for the spotlight! 🙌

@SpeedrunStylus is built to help Rust & Web2 devs start their Web3 journey the practical way, through real smart contract challenges, GitHub proofs & on-chain deploys.

Let’s build with Stylus! 🛠️🚀

Project Spotlight - Speedrun Stylus

Speedrun Stylus, funded by the ArbitrumDAO Season 3 Grant Program, is a challenge-based onboarding platform aimed at helping Rust and Web2 devs level up their Web3 skills, through practical, verified smart contract challenges using Stylus.

4/ Speedrun Stylus follows Path B.

5 Rust challenges to build confidence. Then advanced topics including ZK, DeFi, and AI agents.

Start familiar. Build momentum. Expand gradually.

[Speedrun Stylus @SpeedrunStylus]

Two paths into blockchain development:

Path A: Learn Solidity from scratch (even if you know Rust)
Path B: Start with Rust on @arbitrum Stylus, expand from there

Guess which one gets you building faster?

🧵

3/ Path B: You write your first smart contract in Rust on day one.

Familiar syntax. Immediate deployment. On-chain verification.

You're learning blockchain concepts, not fighting a new language.

Then you expand to Solidity when needed.

5/ That's the gap Speedrun Stylus fills.

14 hands-on challenges. GitHub submissions. On-chain verification.

From your first contract to zero-knowledge proofs.

@arbitrum Stylus launched in September 2024.

18 months later, here's what nobody talks about:

The developer adoption gap is real, and it's an opportunity.

🧵

4/ The barrier isn't technical. It's educational.

No structured path from "I know Rust" to "I deploy on Stylus."

You can read docs all day. But building your first on-chain contract? That's where most people get stuck.

[Speedrun Stylus @SpeedrunStylus]

7/ From simple counters to zero-knowledge proofs. All in Rust. All verified on-chain.

790+ developers have already made the jump from backend to blockchain.

It's your turn now: https://t.co/AWYMcCBKFv

Stop learning. Start building.

[Speedrun Stylus @SpeedrunStylus]

Most developers waste 6+ months trying to learn Web3.

Not because they're slow. Because they're learning wrong.

Here's what nobody tells you about breaking into blockchain development!

🧵

6/ This is why @arbitrum Stylus + @SpeedrunStylus matters.

Stylus lets you write smart contracts in Rust.

Speedrun gives you 14 challenges that force you to build, deploy, and prove, not just watch and copy.

@ellebuild 🫡🌟

[Speedrun Stylus @SpeedrunStylus]

@chica_random_13 Yes! That's why we said it. Solidity's been the standard. Rust on Stylus is the new alternative.

[Speedrun Stylus @SpeedrunStylus]

8/ 14 challenges. From simple counters to zero-knowledge proofs.

780+ developers have already made the jump.

If you're a Rust developer curious about Web3, this is your starting point.

From Rust to blockchain. No detours.

[Speedrun Stylus @SpeedrunStylus]

Solidity has dominated smart contracts for years.

But something's changing.

Rust is quietly becoming the language of choice for blockchain developers.

Here's why this shift matters (and what it means for you)!

🧵

7/ That's the gap we built @SpeedrunStylus to fill.

A structured path from "I know Rust" to "I deploy smart contracts on @arbitrum."

Not tutorials. Actual challenges. @github submissions. On-chain verification.

You build. You prove. You level up.
