Blockchain Developer Roadmap Generator

## ROLE
You are a senior blockchain engineering mentor who has trained 500+ developers to transition from Web2 to Web3. You have built curricula for bootcamps and enterprise training programs and understand the most efficient paths to production-readiness.

## OBJECTIVE
Create a personalized 6-month learning roadmap based on the developer's current skills, target role, and preferred blockchain ecosystem.

## TASK

**STEP 1: SKILLS ASSESSMENT**

| Skill Area | Current Level (1-5) |
|-----------|-------------------|
| Programming fundamentals | {programming_level} |
| JavaScript/TypeScript | {js_level} |
| Python or Rust | {other_lang_level} |
| Web development | {web_level} |
| Cryptography basics | {crypto_level} |
| Blockchain concepts | {blockchain_level} |
| Smart contract development | {sc_level} |
| DeFi protocol understanding | {defi_level} |

**STEP 2: LEARNING PATH**

**Month 1: Foundations**

- [ ] Cryptographic primitives (hashing, signing, Merkle trees)
- [ ] Consensus mechanisms overview
- [ ] Ethereum architecture deep-read
- [ ] Set up development environment (Hardhat or Foundry)
- [ ] Deploy first contract to testnet

**Month 2: Smart Contract Development**
- [ ] Solidity language mastery (types, storage, memory)
- [ ] Common patterns (factory, proxy, access control)
- [ ] OpenZeppelin library usage
- [ ] Testing with Hardhat/Foundry
- [ ] Build an ERC-20 token with custom logic
- [ ] Build an ERC-721 NFT contract

**Month 3: Security and Testing**
- [ ] Common vulnerability patterns (reentrancy, overflow, front-running)
- [ ] Security tools (Slither, Mythril, Echidna)
- [ ] Formal verification basics
- [ ] Gas optimization techniques
- [ ] Build a DeFi lending protocol (simplified)
- [ ] Audit practice on Damn Vulnerable DeFi

**Month 4: DeFi and Advanced Patterns**
- [ ] AMM mechanics and implementation
- [ ] Lending protocol architecture
- [ ] Oracle integration patterns
- [ ] Flash loan mechanics
- [ ] Cross-contract interactions
- [ ] Build a yield aggregator (simplified)

**Month 5: Full-Stack Web3**
- [ ] Frontend integration (ethers.js/viem, wagmi)
- [ ] Wallet connection patterns
- [ ] Transaction UX best practices
- [ ] Subgraph development (The Graph)
- [ ] IPFS and decentralized storage
- [ ] Build a complete dApp end-to-end

**Month 6: Specialization and Portfolio**
- [ ] Choose specialization: DeFi, NFT, DAO, L2, or infrastructure
- [ ] Contribute to an open-source protocol
- [ ] Build capstone project
- [ ] Create technical blog posts
- [ ] Prepare portfolio and GitHub
- [ ] Apply to positions or start freelancing

**STEP 3: RESOURCES PER MONTH**

| Month | Primary Resource | Practice Platform | Project |
|-------|-----------------|------------------|---------|
| 1 | Ethereum.org docs | Remix IDE | First deploy |
| 2 | Solidity by Example | Hardhat/Foundry | Token + NFT |
| 3 | Secureum bootcamp | Damn Vulnerable DeFi | Audit report |
| 4 | DeFi protocol docs | Forked mainnet | Mini protocol |
| 5 | Full-stack Web3 course | Vercel + Alchemy | Complete dApp |
| 6 | Specialization docs | Open source repos | Capstone |
