What you'll learn
- Blockchain Basics and Why Solana. Most financial transactions today rely on a middleman—a bank, a payment processor, a company that keeps records and decides whether your money moves.
- Rust Syntax and Ownership Fundamentals. When you write code on the Solana network, your program needs to move data around—passing it between functions, storing it, changing it.
- Anchor Framework and Program Structure. Without a clear structure, your smart contract becomes a pile of disconnected code that's impossible to test, deploy, or fix.
- Solana Accounts and Constraint Validation. On the Solana network, every piece of data your Smart contract touches lives in an account).
Questions this course answers
What is a blockchain?
A blockchain is a shared record that no single company owns.
How does Proof of History help Solana process transactions quickly?
Proof of History lets Solana process thousands of transactions per second by acting as a timestamp proving when something happened, so the network doesn't have to argue about the order.
What happens when you pass a value to a function in Rust?
Ownership transfers, meaning the function now owns the value and the original code can't use it anymore unless you get it back.
What is an account on the Solana network?
An account is a container on the blockchain that holds both the data itself and metadata about who owns it.
