👩🏽‍💻 Solana Development Onboarding

Our on-going development resources, aiming to onboard engineers to Solana development. From geeks to geeks (and you are welcome to contribute).

🛹 Why Solana?

Compared to older platforms like Bitcoin and EVM-based protocols, Solana is:

• Massively cheaper, as transaction fees are a small fraction of a penny.
• Massively faster, as most transactions are completed in a couple of seconds.
• Highly decentralized, having one of the highest Nakamoto coefficients of any proof-of-stake network.
• Fun AF, with an incomparable UI/UX and developer experience.
