Share your wallet experiments and amplify others

The Scenario

Over the past week, you have gone from zero to comfortable with Solana wallets. You generated your first keypair on the command line. You explored how public and private keys work together. You compared wallet options like Phantom, Solflare, and Backpack. Yesterday, you wrote about what identity means on a blockchain. That is a lot of ground covered in a short time.

Today is an Amplify day, which means your job is to take what you have learned and share it with the world. Think of this like pushing your code to a public repo for the first time. It is not about having all the answers. It is about showing your work, starting conversations, and helping the next developer who is a few days behind you.

The Challenge

Today has two parts: share your own work, and engage with other participants’ work. Both matter.

Part 1: Share your highlight

Post something specific you built, tried, or discovered while working with Solana wallets this week. This can go on social media or on DEV Community — wherever you’re most comfortable.

What You’ll Need

  • An account on X (Twitter), LinkedIn, or DEV Community
  • A screenshot, code snippet, or terminal output from one of your wallet experiments
  • Two to three sentences describing what you did and what surprised you

Steps

  1. Pick your highlight. Look back through your work from the past several days. Which moment stood out? Some ideas:
    • The first time you generated a keypair and saw your public key appear in the terminal
    • Setting up a wallet like Phantom, Solflare, or Backpack and comparing the experience to something in Web2
    • Connecting a browser wallet to your web app and seeing your devnet balance appear
    • A concept that clicked for you, like how a wallet is really just a keypair, not a “container” for your tokens
    • Something from your Day 6 write-up about identity on-chain
  2. Capture the evidence. Take a screenshot of your terminal output, your wallet interface, a transaction on the explorer, or a code snippet. Visual proof of your work makes your post more engaging and more useful to other learners.
  3. Write your post. Keep it concise. A good formula:
    • What you did: One sentence describing the experiment (“I generated my first Solana keypair using the CLI and sent SOL on devnet.”)
    • What surprised you: One sentence about something unexpected or interesting (“The biggest shift from Web2: my identity is just a cryptographic keypair. No username, no email, no password.”)
    • What’s next: One sentence about what you are looking forward to in the challenge
  4. Tag and publish. Include the hashtag #100DaysOfSolana so other participants and the community can find your post. Tag @solana_devs on X if you want to connect with the broader Solana developer community.

Part 2: Engage with other participants

Amplify days aren’t just about broadcasting — they’re about building connections. The other people doing this challenge are your peers. Their posts are how you find them, and your engagement is how they find you.

  1. Find other posts. Search for #100DaysOfSolana on social media or on DEV Community. You should see posts from other participants who are on the same journey.
  2. Read, react, and comment. Pick at least two posts from other participants. Leave a meaningful comment — not just “nice post,” but something specific. Maybe you learned something from their take, or you hit the same gotcha they mentioned, or you have a question about their approach. A good comment starts a conversation.
  3. Share someone else’s work. If a post taught you something or made something click, reshare it with your own thoughts added. This is how learning communities grow.

What Just Happened

You made your learning visible and connected with other people on the same path.

Sharing your own work forces you to articulate what you learned, which reinforces your understanding. But engaging with other people’s posts does something different: it exposes you to perspectives you might not have considered. Someone else might explain the same concept in a way that makes it click for you, or they might have hit an edge case you haven’t encountered yet. When you comment on their post, you help them too — you’re telling them what landed and what didn’t, which is valuable feedback for a learner.

You are one week into 100 Days of Solana. You understand keypairs, wallet types, SOL and lamports, and on-chain identity. That puts you ahead of most developers who are still just curious about Web3. Own that progress.
