Levan
Watched 40 hours of Solidity tutorials. Built three ERC-20 tokens by following along. Tried to write his own from scratch — couldn't remember which keyword went where. Looked at his "portfolio" on GitHub and realized: every single project was just someone else's code with the variable names changed.
Ana
Senior backend dev, 6 years of Python. Got curious about Web3. Spent a weekend with a Solidity tutorial. The next Monday her manager asked if she could review the company's draft NFT contract. She said yes. She had no idea what `storage` vs `memory` meant. The contract shipped with a bug that cost the project 12 ETH.
Saba
Deployed his first contract to mainnet without writing tests. He thought tests were "for senior people." A reentrancy bug drained the contract in week one. He told everyone Web3 was a scam. The bug had been documented in 2016. Nobody had taught him what to look for.
People don't quit Web3 development because Web3 is hard. They quit because they were taught Solidity like it was JavaScript — and shipped code that cost real money to fix.
The single biggest predictor of who becomes a Web3 engineer isn't intelligence or prior coding experience. It's whether they were taught to think like a financial engineer, not just a coder. Most smart contracts are financial logic. The engineers who succeed are the ones who understand both sides.
If your education came from copying GitHub repos, you'll write code that copies bugs from GitHub repos. Solidity Wolf is the curriculum that breaks that cycle — taught by someone who already lives at the intersection of finance and engineering.
By the end, you won't recognize the engineer you were 5 months ago.
- You stop copying contract templates from GitHub → You architect contracts from scratch using SOLID principles, not StackOverflow.
- You stop being scared of mainnet → You deploy with the calm of someone whose tests cover 100% of the code path.
- You stop guessing what `storage`, `memory`, and `calldata` mean → You optimize gas like an engineer who knows what every keyword costs.
- You stop being a coder pretending to understand finance → You become an engineer who reads contracts the way a CFO reads a balance sheet — line by line, with intent.
- You stop asking 'is my contract safe?' → You answer that question. With proof. With test coverage. With the Checks-Effects-Interactions pattern in every state-changing function.
- You stop applying for 'junior Web3 developer' jobs you can't actually do → You apply with a GitHub portfolio of three audited contracts and a Hardhat testing harness. The interview becomes a formality.
- You stop being an ordinary coder → You become the rare hybrid: a finance-literate engineer the market actively hunts for.
8 weeks from now
What B feels like.
It's a Friday afternoon. You push your final commit. The CI pipeline runs Hardhat against your contract — 247 tests, all green. Coverage 100%.
Six months ago, you would have copied the contract from a GitHub repo, deployed it, and prayed.
Today, you don't pray. You merge.
The auditor's report comes back the next week. Two minor gas optimizations. Zero critical findings. Zero high. Zero medium. The contract goes live on mainnet at 2:14 PM on a Tuesday. By the end of the month, it's processed $400K in volume without a single revert.
Your client's CTO sends a message: "Who taught you to write contracts like this?"
You answer. That's the difference 5 months made.
The vocabulary that separates engineers from tutorial-watchers.
Senior smart contract engineers don't think in syntax. They think in architecture, security patterns, and gas economics. The 5 frameworks below are the vocabulary every production Solidity engineer uses — and the gap most self-taught developers never close. By module 5, you don't just know these terms. You ship code that proves you understand them. The same way a senior reviewer would write the contract.
| Framework | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| EVM Architecture | Why your gas estimate is wrong before you even compile |
| Storage / Memory / Calldata | Where your data lives — and what it costs you per write |
| OOP in Solidity | How to inherit without breaking, override without surprises |
| SOLID + Design Patterns | Why your contract will still make sense to the next engineer |
| Hardhat Testing | Why production never breaks the way your audit predicted |
The same toolkit shipping engineers use at production Web3 companies. By week 5, you'll use them on your own contracts — with the financial reasoning Boris brings from 10 years inside real corporate finance.
The 20-week journey
From 'Ethereum is a thing' → fluent in how the EVM actually executes your code
You walk in thinking Ethereum is a network. You walk out understanding it's a stack-based virtual machine that interprets bytecode, with a transaction lifecycle you can trace step-by-step on Etherscan. By end of module, you'll deploy your first contract via MetaMask, read its bytecode, and explain why the ABI exists.
From 'Solidity looks like JavaScript' → fluent in why it absolutely isn't
The day you understand the difference between `storage`, `memory`, and `calldata` is the day you stop wasting gas. After this module, you'll know when to use each, why `msg.sender` and `block.timestamp` are dangerous when misused, and why custom errors (Solidity 0.8.4+) make production contracts cheaper and clearer than revert strings ever did.
From 'I copied this contract' → 'I architected this from inheritance up'
Smart contracts are object-oriented systems pretending to be scripts. After this module, you'll use multiple inheritance without diamond-problem disasters, override functions with `virtual`/`override` keywords correctly, and connect to other contracts (Uniswap, ERC-20s, Chainlink) via interfaces — instead of importing their entire codebase.
From writing code that runs → writing code that survives an audit
This is the module that separates contract authors from contract copiers. SOLID principles — Single Responsibility, Interface Segregation — applied to Solidity. The Ownable / Access Control pattern. The Checks-Effects-Interactions pattern (the one that prevents reentrancy attacks). The Factory pattern (contracts that deploy other contracts). After this module, when an auditor opens your code, they recognize the structure immediately.
From 'it works on my machine' → 'it works on mainnet, with proof'
Hardhat is the difference between a hobbyist and a hire. After this module, you'll configure `hardhat.config.js` for multiple networks (local, testnet, mainnet), write 100% test coverage for financial logic, and ship contracts that financial applications can rely on. By the end, you have three audited contracts in your GitHub portfolio — not three forked tutorials.
This course is for who you want to become as an engineer.
For you
- You've watched 30+ hours of Solidity tutorials and still can't write a contract from scratch you'd trust on mainnet.
- You're a Web2 developer (Python, JS, Java, Go) and Web3 salaries make the switch obvious — but the learning path doesn't.
- You're starting from zero and you want the foundation built right the first time, not patched together from blog posts.
- You'd rather spend 5 months becoming employable than 2 years pretending to be.
- You don't just want to write code — you want to understand the financial logic behind the code, the way the engineers companies actually compete to hire do.
Not for you
- You want a 'learn Solidity in 7 days' course. We won't lie to you about the timeline.
- You want passive learning. You'll be writing, breaking, and debugging real contracts every week.
- You want to skip the 'boring' finance parts. They're not boring — they're the entire point. Smart contracts are financial systems first, code second.
- You think tests are optional. They are not. We will not certify a graduate who skips them.
Your shortcut.
Boris Solomonia
CFO who codes · Lead Instructor, Solidity Wolf
CFO at 9 Tones Distribution. EPAM Systems Java Top 2 of 500. Built ERP systems, MCP servers integrated with Georgia's Tax Agency (RS.ge), and AI-powered financial analytics. The rare hybrid: a finance-literate engineer.
When you take Solidity Wolf, you skip the years.
Years of writing contracts that compile but break. Years of debugging gas optimizations nobody taught you about. Years of submitting code to auditors who send back 40-page reports of mistakes you didn't know were mistakes.
But more than that — you skip the years of being an *ordinary* developer in a market that pays a premium for the rare hybrid: an engineer who also understands finance.
That's the path Boris walked. And it's the unfair advantage you inherit by learning from him.
Boris is one of the few engineers anywhere who lives at the intersection of finance and code:
- CFO at 9 Tones Distribution since 2023 — running real corporate finance: stock minimization, sales forecasting, daily ops dashboards, ROI optimization.
- MBA in Business Administration & Operations Management from Free University Tbilisi — graduated with the Best Academic Achievement award.
- Top 2 of 500 at EPAM Systems' Java program — Core Java, Spring Boot, Docker, Kubernetes, finance micro-projects.
- Built the Debtors Analysis App / ERP Fin-Analytics — AI-powered cash-flow prediction, debtor scoring, explainable financial recommendations.
- Built MCP servers integrated with Georgia's Tax Agency (RS.ge) — automated accounting infrastructure for businesses, the kind of system most engineers never get to see, let alone build.
- Architected an Enterprise Resource Planning System — managed real money flows, multi-currency transactions, real-time financial analytics on PostgreSQL + React + Node.js.
- 20+ FP&A consulting engagements at JSC Savvy — valuation models, driver trees, executive scenario analysis, NPV growth, ROI growth, cost minimization.
- Java lecturer at Bitcamp — has already taught hundreds of students how to think like engineers.
Most Solidity teachers know Solidity. Boris knows what makes a financial system actually work — and now he's teaching you to build them in Solidity, the way they should be built.
When Boris reviews your contract, he doesn't just see code. He sees the financial logic behind the code — the way a CFO would. That's the unfair advantage you don't get anywhere else.
Past performance reflects Boris's professional engineering and financial work — not a guarantee of student outcomes. Smart contract development is a high-skill field requiring sustained practice.
Designed so you can't fail to ship.
Show up however you can
Tbilisi office or Microsoft Teams — same session, same instructor, your choice. Because the worst reason to miss your career change is geography.
You ship real contracts
Theory doesn't change your career. Shipped code does. By module 3 you're deploying real contracts to testnet. By module 5, you have three production-grade contracts on your GitHub.
Code review by a CFO who codes
Recorded courses can't tell you why your `storage` pointer is a bug. Boris can — and he'll tell you why your *financial logic* is the bigger bug. That review is closer to a real audit than anything you'll get before mainnet.
A portfolio that survives an interview
Other certificates live on a server somebody can shut down. Yours lives on Arweave forever — alongside three GitHub-public smart contracts that prove you didn't fork them. The day a CTO opens it, your interview becomes a formality.

People often ask
- Some, but less than you'd expect. If you've written any code in JavaScript, Python, Java, or any C-family language — even a few hundred lines — you have enough foundation. We don't assume Solidity, blockchain knowledge, or cryptography. We do assume you can read code and use the command line. Pure beginners with no programming experience will need to take a free intro-to-programming course (we recommend Harvard CS50) before this one.
- Plan for 6-10 hours per week. That's one 2-hour session plus 4-8 hours of practice work — actually writing contracts, debugging, and shipping to testnet. Sessions run once a week for 20 weeks. The practice work is where the transformation happens. Solidity engineering is a typing skill — you don't get it from reading.
- You can take a junior or mid-level Web3 engineer role at a production team. You can freelance as a Solidity developer with three audited contracts in your GitHub portfolio. You can architect smart contracts from scratch using SOLID principles, deploy them through Hardhat across networks, and write the test coverage that financial applications require. Most importantly — and this is what makes Solidity Wolf graduates different — you can read another engineer's contract and explain why the financial logic is wrong, not just the syntax. That's the skill that gets people hired.
- A laptop running macOS, Linux, or Windows with WSL2. Node.js, VS Code, MetaMask, and a GitHub account — all free. Hardhat installs via npm. We use Sepolia testnet (free ETH from faucets) for the first 4 modules; only module 5 touches mainnet, and the contract deployment costs are typically $5-20 per deployment. Total tooling cost outside the course fee is ~$0 — and you keep all the tools forever.
- Pixel Academy is a Patron Member of AmCham Georgia (American Chamber of Commerce), giving our credentials institutional weight. The certificate is issued on Arweave — a permanent, decentralized blockchain — meaning it cannot be edited, deleted, or faked. Anyone in the world (including any employer) can verify its authenticity through the Arweave network. But here's what matters more: alongside the certificate, your GitHub portfolio with three audited contracts is the actual interview asset. Together they're a credential plus a proof.
- All sessions are recorded and available for 12 months after completion. If you fall behind on practice work, you can join the next cohort's office hours to catch up — at no additional cost. If life events prevent you from finishing entirely, you can transfer your enrollment to the next cohort once at no charge. We don't refund after week 3, but we do everything possible to make sure you finish what you started.
- Hardhat is the production standard at most Web3 hiring teams in 2026. It has the deepest plugin ecosystem (testing, verification, gas reporting, deployment), the cleanest TypeScript integration, and is the most likely tool you'll encounter on a real codebase. Foundry is faster for some workflows and we'll mention it, but if you only learn one, learn the one most teams use. Once you understand Hardhat's architecture, switching to Foundry takes a weekend. The reverse is harder.
- That's exactly the point. Most Solidity teachers know Solidity. They don't know what makes a financial system actually work in production — the corporate finance, the accounting controls, the operational rigor that real money demands. Boris does. He's a CFO at a real distribution company, an MBA with the Best Academic Achievement award, the top 2 of 500 graduates from EPAM's Java program, and he's built ERP systems, MCP servers integrated with Georgia's Tax Agency, and AI-powered financial analytics tools. Solidity is the easy part for him. The hard part — knowing what financial logic should look like before you write a single line of code — is what most courses skip. We don't.

The math.
One undetected reentrancy bug costs more than this entire course. Often more than 10x.
The DAO hack was $60M. Wormhole was $325M. The bZx incidents were $80M total. These weren't exotic exploits — they were patterns documented for years, written into code by developers who hadn't been taught what to look for.
Solidity Wolf costs ₾2,200 (750 PUSDT). A junior Web3 engineer salary in Tbilisi starts around $40,000/year. A mid-level role starts around $70,000. Globally, remote Web3 engineering pays $80,000-150,000 for someone with three audited contracts in their portfolio.
But the rare hybrid — an engineer who can also reason about financial logic — earns above the top of those ranges. Because that's the engineer companies pay a premium for.
The course pays for itself the day you accept your first Web3 offer. Everything after that is the rest of your career.
Five months from now.
Path A
Path A — You're still watching tutorials at 1.5x speed. Still copying contracts from GitHub and praying they work. Still telling yourself you'll switch to Web3 'after this current project.' Still reading job postings for 'junior Solidity developer' and feeling like an impostor. The next bull run comes — and you watch your friends ship while you're still copying.
Path B
Path B — Your GitHub has three audited contracts. You can explain why every line is the way it is — and why the financial logic matters. When a CTO asks 'show me your portfolio,' you don't apologize — you send a link. When a recruiter asks 'do you know Hardhat?', your answer doesn't start with 'a little' — it starts with 'yes, here's a contract I shipped with 100% test coverage, reviewed by a CFO.' You're not trying to break into Web3. You're building it.
Five months separates the two paths. The market doesn't pause while you decide.
