Scroll Detroit: zk Infrastructure for the Next Generation of Builders
Detroit Hack: Build Mode is a workshop series focused on hands-on developer education and verifiable on-chain execution. Scroll Detroit: zkEVM Build Mode is an in-person developer workshop designed to onboard Detroit and Midwest builders directly into the Scroll ecosystem through guided smart contract deployment on Scroll Sepolia, Scroll’s public zkEVM test network.
This is a build-first event. Participants will configure their development environment, write a basic Solidity smart contract, and deploy and verify it on Scroll Sepolia during a live build sprint.
Over the course of the workshop, participants will:
Enable wallet onboarding and set up their developer environment for first-time Scroll deployments
Provide developer infrastructure, documentation, and guided instruction to reduce friction for new developers
Write an EVM-compatible Solidity smart contract
Deploy and verify the contract on Scroll Sepolia
