🎤 Murat Tekin 🎤
🧱 An Introduction to Web3 & Flutter
⏱ ~25+5 minutes

We all know the web in its current form also referred to as Web2. It’s the social and interactive web. It’s more about content creation, targeted advertising and corporate owned data. Web3 is different. It’s more about user-owned data, decentralisation and interoperability. There are a few fundamental differences between Web2 and Web3, but decentralisation is at its core.

In this talk, we will explore how to build a decentralised application leveraging the Ethereum blockchain as our backend and Flutter as our frontend.

We will see how to implement a Twitter Feed feature using Solidity and Flutter. This example will demonstrate core concepts of smart contracts. We then move on and see how to read and write data and listen to events of the blockchain right from our Flutter app.
