Finished Building Trady — My First Real Solana Project

April 21, 2025

It’s finally live. Trady is out. Fully built. And I’m weirdly proud of it.

This is the first Solana project I’ve actually shipped. Not just tested. Not half-finished. A full product with users, live data, real purpose.

I built Trady because I wanted a clean, no-nonsense way to follow what smart wallets are doing. No Telegram alpha, no Discord spam. Just on-chain actions from people who actually know what they’re doing.

The frontend is simple. Three tabs: top wallets (1h), alpha signals, and pump.fun activity. That’s it. No fluff. No filler.

Solana made that possible. Fast enough to feel real-time. Cheap enough to make it accessible. And honest enough to expose what’s really happening on-chain without hiding behind ten layers of abstraction.

Not gonna lie, Solana dev work was a bit chaotic at first. Anchor took time to click. RPCs are still moody. But once I got into the flow, it felt natural. Like the early days of Ethereum, before everything got corporate.

I don’t know if Trady becomes huge or just stays a niche tool. But I built something I’d actually use. That’s a win for me.
