For those of you interested , I am sharing the repo for my rust indexer project - Chitra.
I named it Chitra, after the hindu god Chitragupta who has been tasked to keep records of human karma.
It's in its super early stage and I am still learning, so feedbacks and constructive
Career Update!
Today was my last day at
@0xPolygon
. After working in the DevRel team here for more than 1.5 years, I am proud to look back on what we have achieved, the polygon dev family and how much I grew and learned professionally.
Thank you to the purple family!๐
Career Update!
I am delighted to share that I have joined
@shardeum
as a Developer Relations Engineer. I will be working on growing Shardeumโs developer ecosystem.
Thank you
@gregoryhemmer
and
@NischalShetty
for providing me this wonderful opportunity!๐ซก
Indian Web3 Market is a sleeping giant.
We missed the Silicon Valley run, but this time we are not gonna miss.

#Web3ForAll
I am starting a proposal to bring
@EFDevcon
in India next year.
It's high time we need to put India on the Web3 map. With
@ETHIndiaco
happening this year, the next step is Devcon.
Who's in? WAGMI!
Personal Update:
I have resigned from my role at Shardeum and this was my last week there.
I am grateful to the opportunity I was given and I have learnt a lot in the last 1.5 years.
I was the solo devrel for the most part of my tenure there and I got to work in interesting
I see a lot of young people working in web3. 16, 17 years old.
Don't let anyone undermine you by calling you "just a kid". If you know your stuff, stay confident and move forward.
Remember, Vitalik was 19 years old when he published Ethereum Whitepaper.
Web3 has no age.
This is the kind of web3 event I wanna see in India.
No parties. No DJs. No 5-star hotels. No booths.
Pure developer-centric discussions for the future of web3 & ofcourse Pizza.
Excited to share
@paradigm
will be hosting the Rust x Ethereum Day on August 26th, in San Francisco, right before SBC!
Join us for a dayย full of Rust x Ethereum, for the engineering and academic community.
Fully technical. No exhibit booths. No distractions.
RSVP Below!
It's been an amazing first year for me at
@shardeum
.
Excited to share that I'll be stepping up to Developer Relations Manager role to further expand the team and double down on our developer ecosystem growth initiatives next year.
Joining
@ETHIndiaco
as a Mentor.
For the next 2 days, if you spot me anywhere, you are welcome to reach out with any technical/project related queries to me.
My DMs are also open both here and discord.
Happy building! โ๏ธ
gm folks!
I'll be at
@web3conf_india
as a speaker talking about Sharding as a solution for blockchain scalability.
Looking forward to connecting with all of you there and discussing new ideas about web3.
It's so easy to criticize others, rather than contribute positively.
That's why you would see successful founders being the first ones to back the new founders.
They had already gone through that journey themselves and can truly understand those scenarios.
Building a Blockchain Indexer and it is my first big project in Rust.
Tech Stack: Alloy, Actix-Web , Tokio, Supabase.
I also plan to make it open-source one day.
#ChatGPT
just wrote a ~100 line lending and borrowing smart contract in just 14 seconds and then gave a brief explanation on the same just in front of me.
I am not someone who goes into conspiracy theory, but this shit is crazy man!
For the love of god and everything under the sun, please stop using -->
keccak256(abi.encodePacked(block.difficulty, block.timestamp, data ))
Instead, please start using Chainlink VRF.
This also means I will be doing and trying out lots of other Devrel stuff which I couldn't previously because of various reasons. So lookout for that too.
Web3 Education and OSS will be my primary two objectives moving forward.
Helping
#Buidlers
will always be my North Star ๐ซก.
Now that I have some free time, I will be diving into some new ecosystems:
-
@fuel_network
-
@Aptos
-
@solana
I have always looked into these ecosystems from outside and they seem very interesting.
Let me know if you feel I should checkout any other interesting ecosystem.
gm.
I have a feeling that this week will be the most memorable week of 2022.
If you see a geek wearing rimless glasses with a Polygon Tshirt and a Polygon cap talking about Web3 overexcitedly - That will be me. Feel free to say hi ๐
Projects like
@Superfluid_HQ
and
@huddle01com
are so underrated.
There is so much potential and so many hidden usecases yet to be built on top of those.
I am going to give a detailed technical workshop at
@IIMNagpurIndia
this Saturday for the "Blockchain Programming - 1" PG Course.
This is going to be the longest workshop I have ever given (3 hours +).
I am both excited and intimidated. ๐ซก
The ultimate truth!
Please don't become a Devrel just for the travel part. This role is much more than that and it can often get very exhausting.
On my 10 day trip to Japan, I did Hotel - Hackathon - Conference - Hotel.
Whenever we are traveling, it is for helping devs ๐ ๏ธ.
As a
#DevRel
practitioner, if my company sponsors travel to an event, it can be to:
- Build partnerships
- Network
- Educate (myself/audience)
- Evaluate sponsorships
- Promote our brand

Shardeum's current scenario:
I missed this environment. A lot!
No Noise. Developers heads down building next-gen dapps. A great and active community that is passionate about the product.
Reminds me of the early days of another great web3 project.
"Developers in the 60's were writing their own compilers, but developers today can't even exit vim without a cup of latte and stackoverflow."
@fireship_dev
's punchlines are hilarious lol. ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
The Polygon Developer Ecosystem always blows my mind.
Some very awesome projects have been built in just 72 hours in the Road to Web3 hackathon.
Join the live demo๐
Power of
@thirdweb
now on
@shardeum
๐ช
Developers can now seamlessly deploy, interact and integrate their smart contracts with thirdweb's powerful SDKs.
See the steps below ๐
It was such a great experience at
#ETHIndia
. I've met so many amazing builders, many of whom are definitely going to be future founders.
I am super bullish on Web3 in India.๐ฎ๐ณ
I am looking to connect with active university blockchain clubs in India.
If you have a blockchain club at your university, kindly DM ๐ฉ.
Meaningful referrals will win some exclusive merch. ๐
I am a 2x better developer than I was at the beginning of 2023.
But I have been humbled even more.
We, Dapp developers are happily building one-off applications "on" blockchain, but the devs who are building the blockchain itself are on another level man๐
Mad Respect!๐
We are teaming up with
@pushprotocol
to solve the larger-level challenges faced in the web3 industry.
Check out the Shardeum challenge to build a next-gen AMM which takes Shardeum's parallel processing capability to further increase throughput and efficiency.
Excited to see
๐ฎ๐ณย Billion Reasons to Build!๐
We have partnered with 12 of the best web3 projects to offer over $50,000+ in bounties and are coming to your city!
Learn about Web3, solve hard problems, get global recognition, and put India on the map!

I am blown away by the response I received after my Friday's tweet.
Thank you to each one of you who reached out to me with so many amazing opportunities.
But, I have already committed someplace and will be announcing my next move tomorrow.
Once again. I am humbled ๐.
I was the second hire in the Polygon (then called Matic) Devrel team which is now easily web3โs best Devrel team. I am grateful that I got the opportunity to work with so many talented and experienced folks.
Building a Blockchain Indexer and it is my first big project in Rust.
Tech Stack: Alloy, Actix-Web , Tokio, Supabase.
I also plan to make it open-source one day.
Around 100 hackathons, countless hours helping devs on Polygon discord, brainstorming DevX and seeing multiple web3 company's journey being started right in-front of me is something I cannot describe. Also super proud to play a role in industryโs best hackathon

Am I still the only Devrel left who just uses a Macbook Air for work?
No fancy setups with high quality microphones or backlit led keyboard and screens.
It's just me and my Macbook Air.
Will the Devrel Community accept me?๐คฃ
Finally.
We're announcing ๐ฅ...

I work with complex cryptographic functions for a living and I still can't decode some of the messages these girls send me.
Still don't know the conclusion of half of the conversations lol ๐.

I built my whole career around hackathons.๐
First by winning, then by organizing a bunch. Will be sharing my story in this space and how you can get started too.
My mental health for the rest of the year is in the hands of 11 men in blue for today's match.
All the best Team India. ๐ฎ๐ณ

I am keeping a close eye on
@arbitrum
for the development of Arbitrum Stylus - An environment that let's you write smart-contracts in any language while also retaining EVM compatibility.
This will be huge not only for Arbitrum but also for the entire EVM community because it
Japan was incredible!
I connected with a lot of awesome folks, developed long term partnerships and learnt many new things both professionally and personally.
I will be back again soon, hopefully as a tourist next time.
Kudos to
@chirag_shm
@LoveneeshDhir
@RamprasadVV
and all other community members who are making the Backpacking India Tour possible.
Grassroots-level developer education about Web3 for college students has such a positive impact on the entire industry.
My biggest career goal in 2024 is to get more organized.
Since Devrel is a cross-functional role, you often get pulled into new projects last minute or new things pop up, especially during product releases.
During these times,it's important to not lose focus on the bigger goal.
โจWeb3 Awards: 2022 Edition โจ
Here is my edition of acknowledgment of all the great projects and progress we made in the web3 ecosystem.
Note: These are my personal opinions and I am sure there is much more stuff to acknowledge.
A request to all Web3 Devrels ๐
Let's start using and demonstrating Smart Contract wallets by default in our workshops.
We need to take a lead on this to make the adoption faster.
The DevX of integrating & using Smart Wallets has improved significantly.
This is the time!
