In web2 you write fee logic in your backend.
You pray nobody bypasses it. π€
Here? The rule lives in the token itself.
Deploy once. Enforce forever.
Full breakdown of how i built this π

#100DaysOfSolana@solana_devs
Sent 100 tokens to a test wallet.
They got 99.5.
I didn't write any fee logic.
No middleware. No backend check.
The token just... did it.
Day 35 of #100DaysOfSolana π§΅
Then i tried something spicier. π₯
Made a non-transferable token and tried to send it anyway.
The error: "Transfer is disabled for this mint"
That's not my validation. That's not my API returning a 400.
That's the program log.
The chain said no.
Week 4 lesson:
Read the docs.
Then fetch the account.
Parse the bytes yourself.
Then write about it.
Understanding hits different
when you earn it. π«‘
#100DaysOfSolana#Solana#Web3
So I manually decoded it.
Byte by byte. No shortcuts.
Pulled out:
β Mint Authority address
β Total supply
β Decimals
β Is Initialized flag
All sitting right there in 82 bytes.
Lost 0.000005 SOL on a failed transaction.
Shouldn't have cost me anything. But it did.
Turns out β Solana transactions aren't API calls. They're job submissions.
Failure still costs. Because failure still took work.

#100DaysOfSolana
Day 21/100 β showing off my Day 18 build.
Built a SOL transfer CLI that shows live confirmation stages:
processed β confirmed β finalized
Most tutorials give you one black-box function.
I wanted to see inside. π§΅#100DaysOfSolana
The part that surprised me most β the blockhash is fetched before signing and baked into the tx itself.
It expires in ~60s. Miss that window = dead transaction.
No retry. No grace period.
Coming from Web2 retry logic... this was a mindset shift
Day 16 of #100DaysOfSolana β
Just sent my first deliberate SOL transfer on devnet β no Stripe, no PayPal, no middleman.
Just me, the CLI, and 400ms to settlement π₯
Solana's account model is wild β new addresses need explicit on-chain creation.
The shift isn't technical. It's a thinking shift. π§
From "carefree" to "calculative" β at every step.
