## Description

Web3 Functions are a new paradigm enabling developers to build web3 apps that run entirely serverless without creating a single point of failure and trusting a centralized party to run the correct computation. Web3 Functions provide a more powerful and flexible approach to how Oracles are used today, expanding their use from simply pushing price feeds to enabling them to run the entire backend of web3 applications in a decentralized and scalable way. This workshop will teach you how to build a serverless web3 app with Web3 Functions.
