Solana Developer Bootcamp 2026: Learn Blockchain and Full-Stack Crypto Development [Full Course]
Learn Solana development from scratch in the 2026 Solana Developer Bootcamp, a complete, free course covering blockchain fundamentals, smart contracts, and full-stack Web3 development on Solana.
You’ll start from zero: installing your local environment, setting up your first tools, and writing your first onchain program. From there, you’ll build 12 real projects step by step, including a token escrow, stablecoins, an AMM for stable swaps, real-world assets, a ZK privacy system for private transfers, an x402 payment gateway for agentic payments, and a full-stack prediction market. All on Solana.
No prior blockchain experience required. Whether you’re already building in crypto or writing your first line of code, this is the complete zero-to-one blockchain development bootcamp.

Finally 🫡
I was waiting to see where to buy the course… and then it just started playing ❤🔥
How to get hired by Solana? I know HTML programming in depth 😁
I will finish this. time to lock in
Hell yeah
most awaiting course
Lock in folks! Lock in!
lets lock IN baby
THE TIME HAS COME FOR ME!
LockedIn !
Heck yeah thank you all. As a aspiring developer this is a life saver!
Amazing bootcamp thank you solana team member 🎉
Do I need to know Rust to start this??
What are the prerequisites to take this bootcamp? do i have to know rust so I could take it? or is this beginner friendly?
We are earlyyy
Locked in for this
Amazing! Thank you
Perfect timing. Building for Frontier, baby
Building for Frontier here 🚀
Thanks! Perfect timing indeed
Ff: this video was in the pipeline for so long that Gui moved from Education to Engineering in Solana Fn in the mean time
finally
Fantastic explanation, thank you!
Cat Mcgee did a great job explaining privacy transfers.
stupid tech, biz never uses unified tech, u try unify them?
Project 9 is super important
But Mike,…man, you did a poor job in explaining anything
why is this not in Korean? Any Solana devs not from DRPK?
Hi course are nice, and i know its basic code for letting us understand. can we open issue for this repo? So it will cover little edge cases and will help to understand little more depth edge cases. For example While creating seeds which parameter should we take etc etc.
Crazy complexity, even with the apparent assistance. Something has to change if Solana want developers to come en masse.
why voting tests code doesn't match with github repo ? Very bad experience
Can I learn this without having web2 full stack knowledge ?
Great editing !
How can we clone the exact project we are working on?
The projects are stored as folder under the solana-bootcamp-2026 repo
