Bootstrapping A Community Through Mentorship
summary
A mentorship program bootstraps the Anarchs confidential computing community by recruiting through LFX, Google Summer of Code and Outreach, then having mentees produce 100+ tutorials and grow a 1,000+ member Wes Builders community; mentees research WebAssembly language support, test a production-grade TCP echo server and ship demos like a zero-knowledge proof and ML-in-Rust prototypes. The team builds a Wordle-style hack challenge running Rust → WebAssembly on Anarchs TEEs to validate secrecy; the live demo mostly works though occasional crashes surface real-world fragility.
