Deep dives
Barriers to Entry in Crypto Development
The challenges faced by inexperienced developers in the crypto space are significant, particularly when it comes to building secure applications. Unlike traditional web apps, the complexity of deploying a smart contract requires rigorous auditing and testing to prevent hacks that can compromise a project's credibility. This is exemplified by the difficulty in creating a social app on a blockchain compared to early tech innovations like Facebook, which could be built and iterated quickly. With a strong emphasis on security and coding standards, the Move language aims to lower these barriers, making it easier for mid-tier developers to create reliable crypto applications.
