One of the highest growth areas and highly demanded is in building bridges for assets to move between blockchains. Particularly Liquidity Pool shares and other asset backed derivatives. If you would like to apply yourself here. The market-based rewards are direct, swift, and very high.
I was reading about DOT and decided to start learning rust. I've used python in a couple automation tasks before, but besides that have very little programming ability. Rust has been hard so far but very rewarding. What technologies would you suggest learning if i wanted to get into blockchain programming?
Solidity or the Javascript frameworks that compile down to solidity. EVMs are heavy in this.
Rust is good too. I'm not too familiar with the Polkadot ecosystem, but the main thing you need to know is that every financial app that has been popular on EVMs needs to be rebuilt on those other ecosystems. There can be multiple of the same things too, no different than multiple grocery stores in a town, or multiple actual bridges. Nothing unique needs to occur, just more. Its literally a global boom town you don't need to go anywhere for and your competition would rather argue about how a MySQL database is better for yield farming than a blockchain.
