11 developer resources for building on Solana
Fast in-process Solana VM for testing programs — much faster than solana-program-test and solana-test-validator, with an ergonomic Rust API.
Generate clients, docs, and CLIs from Solana program IDLs — one IDL, every client. Covered in our client-generation article.
Modern JavaScript/TypeScript client library for Solana built on @solana/kit — the ergonomic middle ground in our kit vs web3.js vs gill comparison.
Pinocchio-based compute-optimized drop-in replacement for the SPL Token program (SIMD-0266) — ~95-98% less compute and ~19x faster than legacy SPL Token. By Anza.
Open payment standard built on HTTP 402 for instant stablecoin micropayments to APIs, agents, and content — multi-chain reference implementation by Coinbase.
Framework-agnostic Solana transaction signing with multiple backends. Unified trait interface, async-first design, and feature-gated compilation for minimal dependencies.
by Solana Foundation
Curated list of Solana BPF (sBPF) development resources — raw assembly, Zig, C program development, tooling, and references for building on Solana at the lowest level
Shared-memory data streaming for colocated Solana services. Fans account/transaction updates from one sender to local consumers over per-consumer SPSC rings in /dev/shm, with a Unix-domain control socket for handshake, subscriptions, and eventfd wakeups. Zero-copy hot path, sender-side filtering (bloom-pre-reject for large filters), backpressure-aware consumer drops, and opportunistic LZ4. Rust, Linux-only (eventfd, memfd_create, SCM_RIGHTS). By Brew Labs.
Solana Kit library for SvelteKit — wallet connection, transactions, and Anchor program helpers via @wallet-standard.
n8n community node for signing Solana transactions via @solana/keychain backends — Memory, Vault, AWS KMS, GCP KMS, Privy, Turnkey, Fireblocks, and more. New/experimental (v0.1.0).
