Hi everyone,
How do we get started from scratch for those of us who don’t understand or aren’t familiar with protocol development yet?

Hi and welcome! :waving_hand: So glad you’re here, @goldcucumber!

Before I point you to a specific starting place, I’d love to hear more about what you’re hoping to do or learn. Knowing your goals will help us guide you to the best next steps.

That said, here are a few great general starting points you might enjoy exploring in the meantime:

  • xmtp.org – for a high-level look at what XMTP is and why it matters.
  • XMTP Community YouTube channel – developer calls, concept deep-dives, and builder demos.
  • XMTP blog – learn about XMTP community efforts and project launches, in plain language.
  • XMTP documentation – learn how to build inbox apps and agents with XMTP.

We’re happy to help—just let us know what you’re curious to dive into!

Hello Jha, nice to meet you.
Wow, there is so much I need to learn. It seems I will start with what you suggested first.

I am also wondering after studying the information, if I am not a developer, can I be useful to the project by spreading more information about it in social networks, for example X? Create posts, articles? Thanks

Hello, Jha!
How can I push part of the code to the xmtp-js repository if I don’t have permission to do so? I created a couple of issues in the repository but didn’t receive a response. I want to improve the quality of the code.

Good question! I’m also curious how beginners can start learning protocol development from the ground up.
