Cairo Academy: Architecture and Vision

Welcome to the Cairo Academy Architecture documentation!

This document outlines the vision, mission, and scope of Cairo Academy, a platform dedicated to simplifying and accelerating StarkNet dApp development. Our goal is to empower developers to create and deploy fully functional decentralized applications (dApps) on StarkNet rapidly.

Vision

To be the definitive resource for StarkNet development, enabling rapid dApp creation and deployment, and fostering a vibrant ecosystem of Cairo developers.

Mission

To provide comprehensive educational resources, streamlined development tools, and intuitive templates that empower developers to build and deploy innovative dApps on StarkNet quickly and efficiently.

Scope

Cairo Academy encompasses the following key areas:

  1. Educational Resources:
    • Interactive learning modules and practical examples.
    • A dedicated Cairo Academy platform for structured learning.
  2. Development Tools and Templates:
    • A gaming repository (Dojo and Cartridge game templates) to facilitate game development on StarkNet.
    • An AI Agent repository to facilitate AI Agent projects on StarkNet.
    • Pre-built, customizable dApp templates for various use cases.
    • Tools for rapid dApp scaffolding and deployment.
    • A library of useful Cairo contracts.
  3. Deployment Automation:
    • One-click deployment solutions for StarkNet testnet and mainnet.
    • Continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines.
    • Streamlined deployment workflows that minimize manual effort.
  4. Community Building:
    • A vibrant community forum for developers to connect, collaborate, and share knowledge.
    • Regular workshops, webinars, and hackathons.
    • Mentorship programs to support aspiring Cairo developers.
  5. Architecture Overview:
    • Modular Design: Cairo Academy is designed with a modular architecture, allowing for easy expansion and integration of new features and tools.
    • Template-Driven Development: We emphasize the use of templates to accelerate dApp creation.
    • Automated Deployment: We prioritize automated deployment workflows to minimize friction and speed up time-to-market.
    • Community-Centric: We foster a strong community to support developers and drive innovation.
  6. End Goal: Rapid dApp Deployment:
    • Our ultimate goal is to enable developers to create, configure, and deploy fully functional dApps on StarkNet rapidly.
    • This will be achieved through the combination of intuitive templates, automated deployment tools, and comprehensive documentation.
