How I learned to program on Solana, updated with today's resources. A thread:
Step 1. Read through the Solana docs . At the very least, Wallets and Developing. Over the next few weeks, you will keep coming back here, so you'll want to know where things are

A 🧵of things I wish I knew when I started developing on Solana.
1. A wallet isn't an actual data struct. It's just a public key. All tokens are stored in "associated" token accounts stored at addresses deterministically found by hashing the wallet and mint addresses

Gentle reminder that Solana is the only blockchain where you can mint 1,000,000 NFTs for less than $100. If large companies get into dropping NFTs, there’s only one place they are going to go.

This is unbelievably cool. Giving authorities the ability to monitor an entire city in a disaster situation. Only possible with the kind of redundant coverage available through the

IOT network.
Utility that could save your life. Only possible on Helium. OPOS.

I know you all want SOL to flip ETH, but if it does the min rent cost to create a single PDA will be $0.60. Some common costs at $665 sol:
Token account - $1.35
LP Position - $10
Program Deploy - Your first born child
Lowering rent costs should be the next big coredev effort.

Wallet security idea: Condom mode. Go to a site you don't trust? Click a button to load a temporary hot wallet with all the tokens you expect you need. Interact with the site. Then click a button that automatically collapses everything in that wallet back to the original wallet

Fact 1: All Solana account data can fit on a single hard drive

Solana sucks to use right now. No one is going to argue against that.
The path to scaling is wrought with landmines. Doesn't do any good to ignore them, or wordsmith around them
Detonate the landmines early and loudly before we have hundreds of millions dependent on the infra.

Okay I’ll say it. Inscriptions are dumb.
You are literally never going to use the data for any on-chain decisions. It’s dead state as soon as it’s created.
“But muh immutable!”
Store it in arweave and shdw drive and put a fkn hash of it on chain, then.
28
12
189
Real, human scale use cases are already here.
You don't need to wait for more infra or endless layers to be shipped. You can build use cases at scale on Solana, right now.
Helium did it, what's your excuse?

A thread on data and the blockchain, since it is undoubtedly going to be the next challenge after Solana disposes of bot spam.
Background: My job prior to Strata was in big data infrastructure. Ingesting data streams that could jam up 10Gb NICs

1/ The Solana RPC API sucks.
dApps shouldn’t need to run their own geyser, webhooks, and centralized web2 infra. What happened to the dream of writing a decentralized ui that anyone can deploy?
I don’t have time to fix it, so this is constructive criticism to those who can.
21
17
188
I know we’re upset that the royalties explosion happened on Solana and not elsewhere. But this also means the solution will happen on Solana first. We’re past copying other chains, trailblazing our own path. Metrics may be down but Solana will be where the innovation happens.

If you’re learning to code, my best advise is to leave the beaten path. Build something completely new. Tutorials give you a false sense of efficacy. Need to get lost in the woods and hack your way out with research, stack overflow, and grit before you truly understand anything.

There’s a reason the biggest NFTs don’t have staking. The big NFTs are brand, akin to owning a Rolex. You don’t have to figure out where to stake your Rolex, and no wealthy or influential person would ever want to. But it’s hard to put brand on a roadmap, and so we have this meta

Reminder that Rust vs Solidity vs Move is a stupid debate and most blockchain developers spend 95% of their time building UIs and the infrastructure around the smart contracts.
If you’re a good dev, the language choice amounts to what minor nuisances you feel like dealing with.

If I get a message from a random person on discord with a link to your discord, I immediately assume it's a rug. I will 100% not be minting your NFT or joining that discord. Please stop with this strategy, it does more damage to your project than it helps.

"Why hasn't anyone built a crypto app with real utility" ... bro it's right in front of your face.

There’s just something so special about installing a hotspot and immediately getting coverage on your phone.
The best thing about working at Helium is I never have to ask “is what we’re doing even useful?”
Crypto has a lot of noise. DePIN is the signal (ha!) in the noise.

Solana maxi until something out performs it on the metrics that matter: tps, txn cost, uptime, blocktime, or rent cost. Anything else is a half measure that isn’t pushing the bounds of tech.
Will be interesting to see if Sui or Aptos come close, or are more of the same.

Everyone talks about theoretical scaling. This is what real scaling looks like:
Had to execute a backfill to add fields to

's on chain IOT hotspots. There's 996,737. That amounts to 99,674 transactions.
The script ran in about 60 minutes. It cost 0.5 sol (< $10).

There isn’t a doubt in my mind that Solana is the best chain to onboard the next billion users.
Now someone just needs to build the killer app that attracts the masses. No more excuses. The underlying tech is no longer a limiting factor.
1/ Solana's low fees have made it an industry leader. But thanks to a recent innovation from teams across the ecosystem, it's about to cost even less.
Introducing state compression, a new way to store data on Solana that lowers cost significantly.

When I started on Solana, my first smart contract took me 3 weeks to write.
Then I rewrote it in 3 days.
Now, with Anchor, I could build it in less than 1 day.
Solana learning curve is steep, but if you make it over the hump the other side is insanely productive.

As we build out Helium on Solana, it feels more and more like an organism. There’s a heartbeat as epochs pass and tokens flow through from the dao, to subdaos, to miners, then back in through users burning tokens for data credits. It’s one of the coolest things I’ve helped build
