This repository contains code, projects, and documentation developed while completing various courses on Solana development. Each section covers a specific aspect of the Solana blockchain, from cryptography and tokens to program optimization and state compression.
- 🔐 Introduction to Cryptography and Solana Clients
- 💰 Tokens and NFTs on Solana
- 💻 Onchain Program Development
- 🔧 Token Extensions
- ⚡ Program Optimization
- 📦 State Compression
In this section, we explored:
- The basics of cryptography as it applies to the Solana blockchain.
- How to interact with the Solana blockchain via clients and wallets.
- Key concepts like private/public key pairs, signatures, and encryption algorithms used in blockchain technologies.
This section covers:
- How to create fungible tokens and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on the Solana blockchain.
- Using the
@solana/spl-tokenlibrary for token creation and management. - Token minting and interacting with Solana smart contracts for NFTs.
Topics explored include:
- Developing onchain programs (smart contracts) using Solana's Anchor framework.
- Creating, deploying, and interacting with onchain programs that perform complex operations on the blockchain.
- Handling Solana accounts, data serialization, and deserialization.
In this section:
- We focused on creating tokens with extended features, such as non-transferable tokens, tokens with mint authority, and other advanced features.
- Understanding SPL Token extensions and their practical use cases in Solana decentralized applications.
This section delves into:
- Techniques for optimizing Solana programs to reduce transaction costs and improve performance.
- Efficient design patterns to maximize the use of Solana’s transaction execution model.
- Best practices for minimizing compute usage and improving storage efficiency.
Here we explored:
- Implementing state compression for handling large amounts of onchain data, particularly for large-scale NFT collections.
- Techniques to reduce the amount of state data stored on-chain, thereby lowering costs for developers and users.
- Examples of compressing NFT collections and managing compressed states within Solana programs.
