Probably the most constant options we’ve acquired for Ethereum.org is to enhance the developer expertise. Whereas the location pointed customers to in depth third-party assets, it lacked a compelling path that will pull a developer in the direction of instantly attempting out Ethereum.
Ethereum Studio’s objective is to let builders get began constructing on Ethereum inside minutes, with as little friction as doable. Studio lets customers:

As an alternative, we would like Studio to be a straightforward first-step to interact a developer and get them hooked earlier than directing them to different assets, instruments, or occasions to proceed their journey into Ethereum.
To construct Ethereum Studio, we collaborated with Superblocks. We will’t thank the Superblocks workforce sufficient for the arduous work they’ve put into this software. We additionally wish to thank many others who made this venture doable: Andreas Wallendahl, Chris Ward, Robbie Bent, Martin Tellechea, and the many individuals who offered suggestions and options.
