Solana Foundations

Understand how Solana works, use the CLI confidently, and build your first clear mental model of accounts and transactions.

Build real comfort with the Solana runtime, the CLI, and the transaction model before moving into Rust or Anchor.

Install the Solana CLI, configure devnet, manage keypairs, and verify your local workflow end to end.

Create wallets, inspect balances, move SOL on devnet, and understand the account model step by step.

Learn what a transaction really is, who signs it, how instructions fit together, and how confirmation works.

Learn how leaders, validators, PoH, Sealevel, and propagation work together when a transaction moves through the network.

Build a small toolkit with @solana/kit to inspect accounts, read balances, and send a real transaction.

Inspect live devnet state, send a transfer, verify the result in Explorer, and explain exactly what changed.
