Build a Blockchain from Scratch with Rust - Rust #6.5 - Final Thoughts and Next Steps to Become a Polkadot dev

Congratulations on reaching this milestone! You've built your first blockchain using Rust from scratch, making you one of the few who have accomplished this feat. Throughout this journey, we've created a robust blockchain with various pallets, including balances and proof of existence, and leveraged the power of macros to streamline our code. In this final lesson, we recap our achievements and introduce the next steps for becoming a full-time Rust developer in the Polkadot ecosystem. We'll dive into the Polkadot SDK, exploring its pallets like Democracy, Contracts, and Collective, which mirror the structures we've built. Additionally, we highlight the Polkadot Blockchain Academy, where you can deepen your knowledge with expert-led modules by industry leaders, including Gavin Wood, the founder of Polkadot. Join us as we celebrate your progress and prepare you for an advanced journey in blockchain development.
