Thirdweb offers prebuilt smart contracts for building products ranging from NFT to a marketplace, software development kits (SDKs) for building products from scratch, and a dashboard for developer teams to monitor and manage on-chain contracts. The company says the products it offers are completely unattended and on chain.
Furqan Rydhan said in an interview on the subject:
“As a developer, when you think of Web3, the first problem is that everything is different from what I’ve learned before. My first question was how do I get started if I want to create a token, NFT or wallet”
Rydhan also added:
“Smart contracts are much more sensitive than developing traditional internet software where the developer motto is ‘move fast, send fast and spoil things’. A mistake in the blockchain could cost you $100 million”
