Learning path

Understand Solana accounts and instructions

Identify program ownership, transaction boundaries and the role of ordering evidence.

For a hypothetical profile edit, identify the data account, owner program and required signer. Explain what a transaction rollback can undo, and which website actions fall outside it.

For the same transfer, explain why a returned signature, successful execution and finalization are three separate checks. If a result is unknown, what must be checked before preparing another transfer?

Along this path

  1. How do Solana programs and accounts divide the work?

    Understand a chain through data and execution.

  2. Solana account ownership: who may edit data?

    Separate an owner program from a human holding a key.

  3. Solana transactions: several instructions, one result

    Learn atomic execution without assuming free failure.

  4. How does Proof of History differ from consensus?

    Ordering evidence and acceptance of history are related but distinct.

  5. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Circle Arc, Base and ArcBlock

    Compare state, execution and application responsibilities.
