    Which programming languages are most in-demand for blockchain jobs in 2025?

    I’m a backend developer from Nigeria with three years’ experience, mostly in Python and JavaScript. I have basic understanding of Rust but I haven’t worked on blockchain projects yet but want to upskill for smart contract and dApp roles.

    I see Solidity, Rust, and Python mentioned often, but I’m not sure which to focus on.

    For someone with my background, which languages should I learn to boost my blockchain job prospects?

    Also, are there any certifications or resources that are helpful for Nigerian developers?

    My goal is to move into a blockchain developer job next year.

    If you’re aiming for a blockchain job next year, I’d focus on Solidity first—it’s still the go-to for smart contracts, especially on Ethereum.

    Rust is picking up steam too, especially with networks like Solana and Polkadot, so learning some Rust could give you an edge. Your experience with Python and JavaScript will help a lot with backend and dApp work, so don’t drop those. For learning, \

    I’d suggest starting with Solidity tutorials on freeCodeCamp or looking into Coursera’s blockchain courses. If you want something extra for your CV, ConsenSys Academy and Alchemy University both offer respected certifications.

    Plenty of these resources are accessible from Nigeria, so you’re in a good spot to get started.

    Solidity is still the best bet if you want to get hired for blockchain developer jobs in 2025, especially for smart contract roles on Ethereum and similar chains.

    Rust is quickly gaining ground too, especially with projects on Solana and some new blockchains, so it’s definitely worth learning if you want to stand out. For context, I’m coming from a backend dev background with Python and JavaScript, and I’ve found those skills handy for dApp development and integrating with blockchain APIs.

    If you’re in a similar spot, I’d suggest starting with Solidity, then picking up some Rust, and keeping your Python and JavaScript sharp for broader blockchain work. Getting involved in open-source projects and building a GitHub portfolio helps a lot, and most blockchain certifications are accessible online if you want something extra for your resume.
