+# 🌊 Quest 2 - Set Sail with Solana Programs
+
+📘 Solana programs scale really well with large data sets, since they can execute in parallel on varying slices of the blockchain’s data.
+That’s how one single program is able to manage our map of the high seas!
+
+You’re going to learn how to write a program that can manage various locations (coordinates), which is a fundamental layer for many gaming applications.

+# 💰 Quest 3 - Learn to Earn Gold
+
+📘 There’s plenty of ways to earn and grow your investments in the world of web3. 
+
+Let’s take a look at some fundamental concepts of DeFi - such as staking and lending. 
+
+We’ll talk about how these mechanisms work and then we’ll build a staking program to get hands-on with DeFi.
+
+Build your trading & staking port and see if you can get other pirates to do business in your neck of the woods!

+# 💎 Quest 4 - Smuggling, Bargaining, and Upgrading Your Ship
+
+📘 We saw how you can “tokenize” assets using NFTs & tokens, and trade them for Gold.
+
+Now let’s see how we can expand on those concepts to trade (or swap) assets, fix/scale prices, and create markets for assets!
+
+We’ll explore the fundamental concepts behind a Decentralized Exchange (DEX) as we effectively create market makers.
