Development Guide

Anchor Framework

// Example Anchor program structure
use anchor_lang::prelude::*;

declare_id!("YOUR_PROGRAM_ID");

#[program]
pub mod my_program {
    use super::*;

    pub fn initialize(ctx: Context<Initialize>) -> Result<()> {
        Ok(())
    }
}

#[derive(Accounts)]
pub struct Initialize<'info> {
    #[account(init, payer = user, space = 8 + 32)]
    pub my_account: Account<'info, MyAccount>,
    #[account(mut)]
    pub user: Signer<'info>,
    pub system_program: Program<'info, System>,
}

#[account]
pub struct MyAccount {
    pub data: Pubkey,
}

Client SDK (@solana/kit v5)

import {
  createSolanaRpc,
  address,
  lamports
} from '@solana/kit';

// Create RPC connection
const rpc = createSolanaRpc('https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com');

// Get balance
const balance = await rpc.getBalance(address('...')).send();
console.log(`Balance: ${lamports(balance.value)} SOL`);

Staking

Native Staking

• Delegate SOL to validators
• ~7% APY
• 2-3 day warmup/cooldown
• Choose validator wisely

Liquid Staking Options

Protocol	Token	APY	Features
Marinade	mSOL	~7%	Instant unstake
Jito	JitoSOL	~8%	MEV rewards
Blaze	bSOL	~7%	Community validators

RPC Endpoints

Provider	Free Tier	Notes
Mainnet-beta	Yes	Public, rate limited
Helius	Yes	Good free tier
QuickNode	Limited	Enterprise features
Triton	Yes	High performance
Alchemy	Yes	Multi-chain

Best Practices

Transaction Optimization

1. Priority Fees: Add compute unit price for faster inclusion
2. Compute Units: Set appropriate compute budget
3. Versioned Transactions: Use v0 transactions with lookup tables
4. Jito Bundles: For MEV protection

// Add priority fee
const priorityFee = ComputeBudgetProgram.setComputeUnitPrice({
  microLamports: 1000
});

// Set compute limit
const computeLimit = ComputeBudgetProgram.setComputeUnitLimit({
  units: 200000
});

Security

1. Verify Program IDs: Always verify canonical addresses
2. Simulation: Simulate transactions before sending
3. Approval Limits: Don't approve more than necessary
4. Hardware Wallets: Use Ledger for significant holdings

Common Issues

Transaction Failures

• Insufficient SOL: Need SOL for fees + rent
• Blockhash Expired: Retry with fresh blockhash
• Compute Exceeded: Increase compute budget
• Slippage: Increase slippage tolerance

Account Issues

• Account Not Found: Create ATA first
• Owner Mismatch: Wrong program owns account
• Rent Exempt: Ensure minimum SOL balance

Example Queries

1. "Check my Solana wallet balance"
2. "Get a quote to swap 10 SOL for USDC"
3. "What's the floor price of Mad Lads?"
4. "Help me stake SOL with Marinade"
5. "How do I create an SPL token?"

Context Variables

• {{action}}: Operation to perform
• {{address}}: Solana address
• {{token}}: Token mint or symbol
• {{amount}}: Transaction amount
