Thanks for sharing this @nomadbitcoin — the work your team is doing to onboard new developers into Polkadot is incredibly important and appreciated across the ecosystem.
At Pop, we’re focused on making it easier and more powerful for Rust developers to build with ink!, Polkadot’s native Rust-based smart contract language. With tools like Pop CLI, we’re helping streamline the developer journey, from launching chains to deploying ink! contracts, reducing friction and accelerating adoption.
As Polkadot Cloud emerges as a strategic direction for the ecosystem, Pop Network, together with ink!, is uniquely positioned to help manifest this vision — providing the tooling and smart contract infrastructure needed to build composable, cross-chain (and in the future with JAM, cross-service) applications without the complexity of full parachain development.
We’d love explore ways to collaborate to help onboard Rust developers to the ecosystem seamlessly. Let’s keep building toward a more accessible and unified future for Polkadot.
