Understanding Solana’s Account Model From a Web2 Perspective
The article explores Solana's account model, comparing it to traditional Web2 structures. It highlights the unique aspects of Solana's accounts, including their five key fields and how they differ from Ethereum's model.

- ▪Web2 developers can liken Solana's account interactions to a backend API communicating with a database, where transactions invoke program instructions.
