Transaction Flow

1. User initiates transaction
2. Wallet signs transaction
3. Transaction sent to Solana
4. Wait for confirmation
5. Update UI with result

🎯 Performance Considerations

1. Transaction Optimization

   • Efficient memo program calls
   • Minimized blockchain interactions
   • Optimized transaction confirmation flow

2. UI Performance

   • Debounced input handling
   • Efficient state management
   • Optimized re-renders
   • Smooth animations with CSS transforms

3. Error Handling

   • Graceful degradation
   • Quick recovery from failures
   • Clear user feedback

🔒 Security Measures

1. Wallet Security

   • Secure wallet connection handling
   • Transaction signing confirmation
   • Automatic wallet disconnection handling

2. Transaction Safety

   • Input validation and sanitization
   • Double-submission prevention
   • Clear transaction feedback

3. Error Prevention

   • Comprehensive input validation
   • Clear error messages
   • User action confirmation
   • Rate limiting for transactions

4. Data Safety

   • No sensitive data storage
   • Secure clipboard operations
   • Safe external link handling

🔄 State Management

• Clean state initialization
• Atomic state updates
• Proper cleanup on unmount
• Persistent state handling

🚦 Error States

1. Transaction Errors

   • Insufficient funds
   • User rejections
