Solana processes upto 65,000 transactions per second—faster than Visa's network. This short course was created to help Software Development professionals build and deploy basic Rust programs on the Solana blockchain. By completing this course, you'll be able to explain Solana's unique consensus mechanism and deploy your first on-chain programs the next day at work. By the end of this course, you will be able to: understand Solana's Proof of History mechanism, apply Solana CLI commands for program deployment, and implement Rust program structures with proper serialization. This course is unique because it combines theoretical blockchain concepts with hands-on Rust programming in Solana's high-performance ecosystem. To be successful in this project, you should have basic programming experience and familiarity with command-line tools.
Build foundational understanding of Solana's unique consensus mechanism and its performance advantages.

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I purchase the Certificate?
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Is financial aid available?
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
