No prior experience with Rootstock is necessary.

Why build on Rootstock?
If you’ve developed on Ethereum before, you’ve already got the skills you need to build on Rootstock.
Use the same solidity tools and libraries that you’re used to, and apply them to the Rootstock blockchain. That includes Hardhat works, Truffle works, web3.js works, and ethers.js.
