SOL PROOF: Intermediate Course

Welcome to the Intermediate Solana course! This course will focus on bringing you up to speed on developing Smart Contracts (or Programs) on Solana using Rust first, and then the Anchor framework. Throughout this course we will build multiple programs from scratch and thoroughly discuss all the components that make a Solana program tick. We will cover Anchor specific primitives, testing your programs, program security, and of course the core components of Solana’s unique programming model (Program Derived Addresses, Cross Program Invocations, the Solana runtime, etc). After completing this course, you will have a foundation and the skills necessary to build just about anything you’d like on Solana! Don’t hesitate to join one of Solana’s many hackathons, build a new tool for the ecosystem, or apply to some bounties/grants.

Note: You must be 18 years old in order to use Metacrafters. In order to complete the course you will need to provide ID. Valid IDs will typically be issued by a government, and can include passports, drivers licenses, and other government IDs with photos. This enables us to detect cheating and fraud, assure employers that job applicants our talent collective are real unique people who completed our courses and assessments, and be compliant when we pay out crypto rewards.

Hi, I'm Ivan!👋

Ivan is the lead content creator for the intermediate Solana course here at Metacrafters. He got into Solana development a little over a year ago and has been head down building in the space ever since. Since first diving into Solana development, he had the opportunity to contribute to open source developer tooling/content, participate in multiple hackathons, and attend HackerHouses where he had the chance to meet other devs IRL. He was also a core contributor to the Intro to Solana course hosted at https://soldev.app/course and Buildspace’s Solana Core course. His hope is that in completing this course, you too can become an integral member of the Solana developer ecosystem and help make chewing glass more like chewing gum for those that come after you!
