Learning

The tutorial walks you through building InkFundMe, a decentralized crowdfunding dApp using ink! smart contracts (for a PSP22 token and campaign logic) and a React frontend powered by PAPI (Polkadot API) and ReactiveDOT. Users can create campaigns, contribute with tokens, and claim refunds if goals aren’t met. It covers contract architecture, security best practices, deployment to the Passet Hub testnet, frontend integration, and optional Vercel deployment, resulting in a fully functional, secure, and customizable crowdfunding platform on Polkadot.

From student to OD Fellow to teaching assistant, this Basecamp journey has come full circle. From learning to teaching, from struggling to guiding, I’ve grown with empathy, confidence, and a renewed love for contributing to the Starknet ecosystem.

This journey through Basecamp 12 has been transformative. From rejection to revival, from curiosity to contribution. I feel more ready than ever to build in public, help others, and shape the Starknet ecosystem.
