That depends on your interests.
Many of the highest priority tasks in Bitcoin Core are rather
complicated, unfortunately, even for people with experience. You can cons=
ult
the issue tracker to get a feel for it.
Alternatively, there are lots of wallet apps out there and plenty of more
straightforward projects on them. However they may have less of a researc=
