Step-by-Step Plan
To get into the industry, you have to manage to become a developer. You can start with online courses to get your full-stack developer certificate. It may take three months to learn the basics and a year and a half to become a full-stack professional in crypto and blockchain tech.

For some people, the Covid pandemic helped to find more time for development courses to fully enrol a developer Bootcamp. You can find many opportunities and courses online, free Bootcamps that start processing applications for Blockchain lessons even right now.
