Four stages from wallet creation to informed mainnet exploration. Match each stage to a workshop, guide, or study circle session.
Create a dedicated learning wallet, request devnet SOL, and send your first transfer. Learn to open a transaction on Solscan and identify the fee payer, signers, and instruction list.

Session match: First hour of the Foundations Workshop
