## Overview

The Solana DeFi Handbook provides a thorough introduction to decentralized finance on Solana, explaining both the concepts and technical implementation details. This resource is ideal for developers and protocol designers looking to understand or build DeFi applications on Solana's high-performance blockchain.

The handbook covers:
- Core DeFi primitives on Solana
- Automated market makers, liquidity pools, and orderbooks
- Lending and borrowing protocols
- Staking and yield farming strategies
- Tokenomics design principles
- DeFi protocol security considerations

Unlike Ethereum-based DeFi, Solana's low transaction costs and high throughput enable more capital-efficient protocols with different design considerations, which this handbook thoroughly explores. 

A comprehensive guide to understanding and building on Solana's DeFi ecosystem, covering AMMs, lending protocols, yield farming, and tokenomics.

The Legit Bank challenge simulates a financial application built on Solana, where you'll identify and exploit vulnerabilities in banking operations. This challenge tests your understanding of financial security concepts in blockchain environments.

## Challenge Goals

- Understand account management and security in financial applications
- Identify vulnerabilities in transaction processing systems
- Learn about secure fund management in smart contracts
- Explore common attack vectors against financial protocols

Originally presented at ALLES CTF 2021, this challenge provides valuable insights into the specific security considerations necessary when building financial applications on Solana, including proper validation, transaction handling, and fund protection mechanisms. 

Explore financial security issues in Solana smart contracts through this banking simulation challenge.

## Overview

Solana's high throughput and low transaction costs make it an ideal platform for DeFi applications. This guide explores the fundamentals of building decentralized finance protocols on Solana.

Key topics covered:

- Designing token economics and protocol incentives
- Implementing automated market makers (AMMs) and liquidity pools
- Building lending and borrowing protocols with interest models
- Creating staking and yield farming mechanisms
- Managing protocol fees and treasury operations
- Implementing governance mechanisms for protocol parameters
- Security considerations for financial applications
- Testing and simulation for DeFi protocols

Solana's unique capabilities enable DeFi protocols that would be impractical on other chains due to gas costs. This guide provides the architectural patterns and implementation details needed to build secure, efficient financial applications that can scale to millions of users.
