Nemanya's Builder Jurney

[Nemanya8]

Hey, I’m Nemanja Matic, an IT student from Novi Sad, Serbia. My background consists mostly from web and low-level development, with experience in technologies like Java, JavaScript, C, C#, Assembly, and Python.

This year, I was introduced to Web3 during a bootcamp in Petnica, and I’ve been obsessed with it ever since. My first project in the Web3 space was building a bridge between Ethereum and gno.land, which sparked my passion for blockchain development. More recently, I had the privilege of winning the ETHSofia hackathon, further solidifying my commitment to this field.

I’m thrilled about this research grant opportunity and can’t wait to collaborate with the community to create innovative solutions and contribute to improving gno.land.

Over the holidays, I spent some time trying out a few different things.

I set up my home realm with some text art and payment functionality. I also started working on a package to generate text art from strings. It turned out to be more tedious than I expected, so I decided to shelve it for now and maybe come back to it later.

I did some digging into gnovm and opened a PR to add a feature for gno test. It was a bit of a mess with commits and PRs, but I learned a lot from the experience. I also looked into the tx-indexer and amino decoder. Down the line, I'd like to work on a chain visualizer like it was detailed here.
