ArtOfBlockChain
  • I’m in my early 30s and have been working as a mobile app developer for the last 4 years (mostly with React Native and Swift). Lately, I’ve been really intrigued by blockchain technology and want to make a career switch to blockchain development. The thing is, I’m not sure where to start.

    I’ve read a bit about smart contracts, decentralized apps (dApps), and programming languages like Solidity, but it all feels a bit overwhelming. Should I be focusing on certifications, contributing to open-source blockchain projects, or maybe building my own small projects to learn by doing?

    I’d love to hear from anyone who’s made a similar switch or has experience in both mobile app and blockchain development. What worked for you, and what’s the best way to break into this field?

    Switching from a mobile app developer to a blockchain developer is totally doable, and your coding background gives you a head start. First off, get comfortable with blockchain basics—things like how decentralized ledgers work, consensus algorithms, and cryptography.

    Once you’ve got that down, dive into languages like Solidity (for Ethereum) or Rust (for blockchains like Polkadot). Since you already know how to code, learning these will be easier than you think.

    The best way to learn? Build stuff! Start with simple smart contracts or dApps, and experiment with tools like Truffle and Remix. It’s hands-on learning that really counts.

    You can also get involved in open-source blockchain projects—great way to learn and connect with others in the field. Don’t stress too much about certifications unless you feel you need them; building real projects will teach you more.

    Take your time, keep exploring, and you’ll be well on your way!

    Making the switch from mobile app developer to blockchain developer can be a great move, especially since blockchain is really taking off right now. While mobile app dev has solid growth, blockchain has the potential for massive career leaps, especially with its rising use in industries like finance, healthcare, and supply chain.

    Honestly, the skills you’ve built as a mobile app developer—like coding, problem-solving, and understanding user needs—translate really well into the blockchain space. Plus, the pay can be pretty attractive, and you’ll get to work on exciting projects that could change how we use technology. As more companies jump on the blockchain bandwagon, the demand for skilled pros is only going to grow. If you’re keen on tech and want to be part of something innovative, diving into blockchain could be a fantastic choice for your career!
