Built a CLI tool that transfers SOL on Solana devnet and tracks the transaction through processed, confirmed, and finalised states.
This project helped me understand that Solana transactions are much more than just “sending crypto.” I learned how recent blockhashes work, why transactions need signatures, how confirmation levels actually matter, and what really happens after a transaction gets submitted to the network.
The most interesting part was watching the transaction lifecycle in real time and seeing how Solana moves from processed → confirmed → finalised.
Also spent time debugging failed transactions and honestly learned more from the failures than the successful transfers 😅
Built using Solana Kit + System Program on devnet.
