With the release of Concordiums Rust Smart Contract testnet and our upcoming mainnet, it's time to provide the community with an inside look at Concordium's developer relations' strategy, particularly our approach to the Rust developer ecosystem.
Developers as Humans First
Developer relationships are vital to launching an open-source project properly. Commercial projects generally approach developers because they know how to design, create, deploy, and maintain complex technical structures or as a box-ticking exercise to validate their platform's viability. At Concordium, we believe that developers are artisans and ontological leaders. We believe software developers are not coding drones but passionate, creative individuals who want to engage with the world on the ground and not just behind a screen. We believe in engaging with developers on what they are inspired by beyond what they can create on a single platform. The DevX Initiative has this approach as its foundation.

++ We want to actively engage with developers as the passionate, creative individuals that they are. We want to reach out to you where you are instead of forcing you on a platform.
Reciprocity as a Principle
