Creating our first instruction
As we proceed into the next phase of our Solana-based dApp development, our journey so far has been a meticulous exploration of architecting message accounts. We’ve meticulously established account structures, gauged sizes, and delved into rent concepts, all to fortify the groundwork for our dApp’s functionality. Now, the focus shifts toward the pivotal juncture of creating our initial instruction. At this juncture, our focus spans various critical facets: setting account boundaries, translating logic into code, fortifying against invalid inputs, and understanding the nuanced difference between instructions and transactions. Each step within this undertaking revolves around the core aspect of message accounts, all geared toward building a resilient, efficient, and robust dApp core within Solana’s dynamic environment.
Let us start with an understanding of how we will create instructions.
