DeFi Developer roadmap is a curated Developer handbook which includes a list of the best tools for DApps development, resources and references!
A curated list and visual roadmap for DeFi/Web3 developer learning, covering Solidity, EVM internals, ZK proofs, dApp tooling, and security. It's essentially a structured bookmark collection for someone going from zero to smart contract developer, with an Ethereum/EVM bias. Best suited for developers entering the Web3 space who want a map of what to learn and in what order.
The visual SVG roadmap (Fix2024.svg) gives a genuine at-a-glance orientation that text lists can't — useful for knowing what you don't know yet. Security coverage is unusually thorough for a roadmap repo: dedicated sections on audit checklists, known attack vectors, and links to real post-mortems (samczsun, cmichel) rather than just theory. Multilingual translations (9 languages) make it accessible beyond English-speaking developers. The ZK-SNARKs section goes deeper than most intro resources, linking to academic papers and hands-on tooling like ZoKrates and Circom alongside the conceptual primers.
Link rot is a real problem — Superblocks is explicitly deprecated in the text, several links point to archived.org snapshots, and Ropsten/Rinkeby testnets are dead but still listed. There's no curation signal: a beginner has no way to distinguish the five essential links from the fifty filler ones, and the repo doesn't try to differentiate. The JavaScript classification is misleading — the repo contains no meaningful JS code, just a single console.js file and SVG diagrams; GitHub tagged it incorrectly and nobody corrected it. Content feels increasingly Ethereum-maximalist for 2026: Solana gets one VS Code extension mention, and non-EVM chains are nearly absent despite being where significant developer activity now lives.
