From Keypairs to Identity: My First 4 Days Learning Solana as a Web2 Dev

A Web2 developer’s first four days of #100DaysOfSolana focused on Solana identity, wallets, and signing basics.

They built a CLI wallet, sent a transaction, parsed transaction data with @solana/kit, and connected a Phantom wallet on devnet.

The key lesson: on Solana, identity is a keypair verified by the network, not a company-managed login account.

That shift moves ownership, security, and recovery responsibility from platforms to users and apps.
