Eight short lessons for people new to crypto and AI. At the end of each lesson you can ask Zihnelo AI whatever you're curious about.

What are crypto and blockchain?
A blockchain is a shared ledger kept by thousands of computers at once. Each new transaction is written into a "block" that is chained to the previous blocks. The records are public and can't be changed afterwards.
A cryptocurrency is a digital asset recorded on that ledger. It is governed by the network's rules, not by a bank. A coin is the native money of its own network (e.g. SOL); a token is an asset created on an existing network (e.g. SPL tokens on Solana).
Transactions often reach anywhere in the world within minutes or even seconds.
Transactions can't be reversed; money sent to a wrong address doesn't come back.
Prices are very volatile; value can drop sharply in a short time.

What is Solana?
Solana is a blockchain whose main network opened in 2020, known for being fast and cheap. Its native coin is SOL; network fees are paid in SOL and are usually a tiny fraction of a cent.
Tokens created on Solana are called SPL tokens. $ZIHN is an SPL token too. Solana addresses are long strings of 32–44 letters and numbers.
Anyone can see transactions in block explorers such as Solscan.
Fees are low but not zero; always keep a little SOL in your wallet.
When the network is busy, transactions can be delayed or fail.
“What is Solana and why is it fast and cheap? Explain briefly.”

Wallets and the recovery (seed) phrase
A crypto wallet doesn't "hold" your money; your assets live on the blockchain. The wallet stores the keys that let you manage them. Popular Solana wallets are Phantom, Solflare and Backpack; download them only from their official sites or app stores.
When you set up a wallet you get a 12- or 24-word recovery (seed) phrase. Anyone who knows these words owns your whole wallet. If you lose it and your phone breaks, you can never reach your assets again.
Write it on paper and keep it offline in a safe place.
No screenshots, no cloud, e-mail or messages.
Never tell anyone or type it into any website — not even "support".
Sharing your public address is safe; it's used to receive funds.

How does pump.fun work?
pump.fun is a platform on Solana where anyone can create a token in minutes. New tokens have a fixed supply (1 billion) and no presale; trading happens directly on the platform's bonding curve.
The bonding curve sets the price with a formula: as people buy, the price rises; as people sell, it falls. You trade against the formula, not another person. The token's creator may make the first buy themselves (dev buy); $ZIHN has had no buys yet.
When enough tokens on the curve are sold and the curve completes, the token graduates: liquidity automatically moves to pump.fun's decentralized exchange PumpSwap, and trading continues there.
The vast majority of tokens never graduate.
The platform charges a fee on every trade; watch your slippage.
Many tokens can share the same name; only the contract address identifies the right one.
“How do the bonding curve and graduation work on pump.fun? Explain simply.”

The risks of memecoins
A memecoin is a token whose value comes from community attention and internet culture, not from a product or profits. $ZIHN is a community token too and promises no returns.
Extreme volatility: the price can fall 50% or more within minutes.
Going to zero: most memecoins lose almost all their value over time.
Liquidity risk: there may not be enough buyers when you want to sell.
Scams: fake tokens, rug pulls and "pump & dump" groups are common.
Emotional decisions: FOMO and panic cause the most expensive mistakes.
The rule is simple: only use money you can afford to lose entirely, never borrow, and don't believe "sure profit" promises. This isn't investment advice; also check the tax and legal rules in your country.

What are AI and LLMs?
Artificial intelligence (AI) is when computers do tasks that normally need human intelligence — understanding text, translating, recognising images and so on.
An LLM (large language model) is a type of AI trained on huge amounts of text. At its core it predicts the next word (more precisely, the next "token"); thanks to billions of parameters it does this so well that it can chat, summarise and write code. Qwen, Phi, Gemini and GPT are all LLMs.
LLMs sometimes produce confident but wrong information ("hallucinations"). Verify important facts.
Their knowledge ends at their training date; they may not know recent events.
Don't use them as your only source for financial, medical or legal decisions.
“How does a large language model (LLM) work? Explain with a simple example.”

Using Zihnelo AI well: prompt tips
The message you write to an AI is called a prompt. The clearer you are, the better the answer. These five tips are usually enough:
Give context: say who you are and your goal — "I'm a beginner", "I'm a teacher".
State the task clearly: "Summarise", "list in 3 bullet points", "translate into Turkish".
Ask for a format: length, tone (formal/casual), a table or step by step.
Show an example: add a short sample of the style you want.
Iterate: if you don't like the answer, refine it — "shorter", "simpler", "give an example".
Example: instead of "explain crypto" → "I'm new to crypto. Explain the difference between a wallet and an exchange in 5 bullet points, in simple English."
Never share personal data such as passwords, seed phrases or ID numbers in a chat. Zihnelo AI doesn't predict prices or give investment advice.
“Teach me to write a good prompt: show bad and good prompt examples.”

On-device vs cloud AI: differences and privacy
Cloud AI sends your message over the internet to powerful servers and gets the answer back. It's fast, uses large models and works on any device. Zihnelo AI's Cloud mode sends your messages to Google Gemini to generate the answer.
On-device AI downloads a model once and runs it directly on your own computer or phone (in the browser, using WebGPU). After the download your chat never leaves your device and can even work offline; however, the models are smaller and need a capable device.
Speed and quality: cloud is usually stronger; on-device is more private.
Privacy: don't share personal data in the cloud; choose on-device mode for sensitive topics.
In Zihnelo AI: every answer shows which engine replied. Your chat history is stored only in your own browser and you can delete it any time.
