Review the existing educational materials for Arbitrum and Stylus, then propose five new resources that would complement what’s currently available. Examples could include specific tutorials for a certain audience, a video series, or community initiatives designed to strengthen developer knowledge and engagement, etc.
Based on my research, Arbitrum is doing a great job putting out all sorts of references for developers in short a period of time since the release of Stylus.
Arbitrum has developed a robust documentation for their Rust SDK (with a minor caveat I'll explain shortly). With Matt Hamilton leading the DevRel efforts, they've also produced a series of YouTube videos featuring companies like Renegade. These companies are already using Stylus to achieve previously impossible feats in the EVM space. The videos, which include both explanatory content and conversations about Stylus and its features, form an effective strategy. In this area, I see a clear direction and a visible leader championing Stylus.
This led me to explore other avenues. As suggested in class by Coogan Brennan, I sought direction from experts—in this case, Derek Lee from OffChain Labs.
I attended Derek's presentation on Arbitrum in Barcelona a few weeks ago and obtained his contact information afterward. Seeking his perspective on how to complement Arbitrum's existing documentation, I reached out to Derek. He recommended exploring the Arbitrum Foundation forum to gain insight into the DAO's current proposals for promoting Stylus and not so trying to reinvent the wheel.
An intriguing thread discussing fund distributions for the Stylus initiative combined with my initial review of Stylus's current documentation, greatly inspired my proposals.
