solana-development

Build Solana programs with Anchor or native Rust for smart contracts, token operations, and testing.

• Build Solana smart contracts using Anchor or native Rust
• Implement token operations and program logic
• Test, deploy, and manage programs across networks
• Understand core concepts like accounts, PDAs, CPIs

• Anchor reduces boilerplate with macros and IDL
• Native Rust offers full control and optimization
• Shared core concepts across frameworks
• Supports token operations and CPIs
• Includes testing, deployment, and security patterns
• Enables compute efficiency and advanced features
• Follows Solana runtime and account model
• Supports PDA, validation, and error handling

1. 1.Choose Anchor for rapid development and TypeScript clients
2. 2.Use native Rust for performance-critical or low-level control
3. 3.Follow core concepts: accounts, PDAs, CPIs, tokens
4. 4.Set up project with anchor init or cargo new
5. 5.Test with Mollusk or Anchor test framework
6. 6.Deploy and manage programs via production workflows
