Lessons
All modulesLesson 01Anchor ProgramsBuild production-minded Solana programs with Anchor using clear account models, validation, tests, and project work.Lesson 02Anchor Local SetupInstall and verify Solana, Rust, and Anchor, create a workspace, and run your first local tests end to end.Lesson 03Anchor Program AnatomyLearn what each file in an Anchor workspace does and how a method call becomes an on-chain state change.Lesson 04Anchor Core ConceptsUnderstand instructions, accounts, signers, and constraints before writing your first real program.Lesson 05First Anchor ProgramBuild a small stateful program one instruction at a time and verify each step with tests.Lesson 06PDAs and Seed DerivationUse deterministic account addresses safely with clear seed design, bumps, and update rules.Lesson 07SPL Token Integration with AnchorWork with mints, token accounts, and safer token constraints across Token and Token-2022.Lesson 08Cross-Program InvocationsCall other programs safely and reason about CPI contexts, signer seeds, and delegated authority.Lesson 09Token Minting and Supply ControlCombine PDAs, token CPI, and supply rules in one guided Anchor build.Lesson 10Escrow with a PDA VaultBuild a stronger state machine with a vault PDA, release rules, and failure-path testing.Lesson 11Anchor Development ErgonomicsMake programs easier to trust with better constraints, errors, events, and testing habits.Lesson 12DeFi Integration CapstoneUse the full Anchor toolchain in an optional capstone once the main path feels solid.
