  6. allegedly
    according to what has been declared but not proved
    It's allegedly possible to learn it within 30 days (presuming you don't have a job at the same time), but Healy says it's more common for his candidates to invest their weekends and paid leave into their Solidity skills: "I'm seeing a lot of candidates learning Solidity in their own time or attending boot camps," he says.

    "Multiple job offers" means five to seven per person, he clarifies.
