LEARN CRYPTO BY BUILDING IT
I started Griff Coin because I wanted to understand how crypto actually works, not just how to buy and sell it.
This learning library brings together the things I've learned while building a real Solana project, along with simple guides, practical walkthroughs and resources for anyone else trying to understand it.
Start Here
Crypto can look ridiculously complicated when you first start. Wallets, blockchains, tokens, liquidity pools, DEXs, gas fees, market cap — and everyone seems to assume you already know what the words mean.
You don't need to learn everything at once. Start with the basics and work through it at your own pace.

STILL LEARNING
So am IGriff Coin isn't built around pretending I know everything about crypto. The whole project exists because I wanted to understand it better.As I learn something new, test something, get something wrong or finally understand something that previously made no sense, I'll add it here.Building, learning, sharing the journey.
