In the following tutorials, we're going to interact with the Solana blockchain (and in particular its Devnet network) using the @solana/web3.js library. It's a convenient way to interface with the RPC API when building a Javascript application (under the hood it implements Solana's RPC methods and exposes them as Javascript objects).

In this video, we will be implementing "keypair" to create an account for our project. Like with most Web 3 protocols, transactions on Solana happen between accounts.  To create an account a client generates a keypair, which has a publicKey (or address, used to identify and lookup an account) and a secretKey used to sign transactions.

Unlike other protocols, Solana testnet tokens are also called SOL, the same as their mainnet asset. Before you get too excited, know they won't work on mainnet. They are for testing purposes only and hold no value. 
This brings us to the challenge, we don't have any tokens, and we need some to complete the pathway. In this video, we will fund our account with SOL by implementing "requestAirdrop" in our project.

In this video, we will implement "getBalance" in our project to make sure we have sufficient SOL to perform a transfer. The getBalance() function takes a publicKey as input and will return the balance associated with that publicKey if there is any.

In this video, we will interact with the program we deployed in the previous step by sending a transaction where its address is the recipient. Once a transaction is submitted to the cluster, the Solana runtime will execute a program to process each of the instructions contained in the transaction in order and atomically.
