Foundry

Learn with Gen Z creators, ship real products, join hacker houses, and grow a community people can back.

Day 2 at AVAS 2026 in Accra and the room is full for one topic: Asset Tokenization.

The hard part is getting a real asset into a form people can move, split and settle on.

Think of land titles, invoices, treasury bills, even cocoa receipts.
That's millions of Ghanaians' value sitting in paper and slow ledgers.

Tokenization is a record of ownership that can settle in seconds, with the rules (who can hold it, who can transfer it) written into the asset itself.
That's the part I want more Ghana builders to understand.

if a foundry build night came to your city, what would you want in the room?

reply with:
→ your city
→ one thing you'd build or demo that night
→ one builder you'd bring

every reply helps us see where builders want to meet next.

Before you plug an MCP server into your agent, check what it can touch. Read every tool it exposes, the access it asks for, and how much context its tool list eats. Run a scanner, then read the schema yourself.

Learn SQL on data you care about. Export a CSV from an app you use, load it into SQLite, write five questions, answer each with one query. Queries stick when they answer your own questions.

Run your own Git server for a weekend. Install Forgejo on an old laptop or a cheap VPS, push one repo, open an issue, wire up one CI check. You learn what GitHub does for you, and your team gets a backup forge.

Keep your setup in a dotfiles repo: shell config, editor settings, aliases and one install script. Then a new laptop or a borrowed machine feels like yours in minutes. Builders and founders everywhere swap dotfiles at The Foundry.

Before you post about a project, check the receipts. When did the contract go up? Is anything calling it? Do the commits fall inside the build window? Does every link open without a login? Point every claim at proof.

Every repo starts at 0 stars. Ship yours anyway: one clear line on what it does, push it public, send it to three people who would use it. Stars come later. A working thing you can point to comes first.

Plant bugs on purpose and let builders hunt. In the Stellar 14 bug hunt, bug 12 split "1.5" at the dot and paid 1 XLM plus 5 stroops. The fix: pad decimals first, then test everyday amounts like 1.5 and 12.25. Run one with your crew.

Give your agent one real tool this week. Open a curated list of MCP servers, pick the one for an app you already use, connect it, and ask your agent to finish one real task. Write down what broke. Builders compare setups at The Foundry.

Put a grader between your agent and the user. One step checks each answer against the question, sends misses back for a retry, and hands close calls to a person. Log every miss. Builders share these setups at The Foundry.

Give your agent two kinds of memory. Short-term holds the chat it is in now. Long-term keeps facts, past examples, and the rules it follows. Build a tiny one this week and check what it remembers tomorrow. Share your setup with builders at https://t.co/Mu1GuVi5XV

Stuck on a failing check? Ask so people can answer: share the exact snippet, the error it shows, and what you already tried. Good questions get fast answers, and the next builder learns from the thread. We do this daily at The Foundry.

Test your README on a person. Hand it to someone on a clean machine, ask them to think out loud, and write down every pause. Each stall is a line your guide is missing. Fix it, then test the next person. Builders run this at The Foundry.

Take apart one embed. Paste the iframe code a site gives you into an online playground, then change one attribute at a time: width, height, allow. You see what each part does. Builders everywhere learn by tinkering at The Foundry.

Open your laptop's privacy settings and check which apps can read all your files. Switch off apps you no longer use. Your keys and client work live on that disk. Builders and founders everywhere swap security habits at The Foundry.

Small open source repos often have one contributor. Be the second. Use the app for a day, then open one clear issue or fix one line of the docs. Builders and founders everywhere make first contributions together at The Foundry.

Every AI tool lists its limits on the first screen. Read that column before you build on it, then test the claim you depend on with one real input. Builders and founders everywhere share what their tools get wrong at The Foundry.

Step 64 of freeCodeCamp's free course: wrap one line of text in a link. Do one step each evening and tell a study partner where you stopped. Builders and founders everywhere study free courses together at The Foundry.

Sunday setup: put your editor on one side of the screen and the running page on the other. Save, glance, fix. You see every change while you still remember why you made it. Builders and founders everywhere share setups at The Foundry.
