Devs Do Something

Push protocol is building a decentralized communication and notification layer for web3, and in this episode, we deep dive the protocol on a technical level. We talk through things like the push smart contracts, PUSH ‘channels’, what exactly the notification itself is under the hood, and more. We also asked Harsh some more general questions about being an engineer in the space, and he gave some very good advice for engineers looking to be founders.
