The Solana Protocol Sandbox is an experimental environment to develop and test Rust-based protocols and smart contracts on Solana. This project is designed to help blockchain engineers gain hands-on experience with Solana's unique architecture, focusing on building secure and scalable decentralized applications (dApps).
- Experiment with Rust for Solana smart contracts
- Explore Solana's runtime environment and program design patterns
- Build a foundation for secure and scalable dApp development
- Install Solana CLI: Installation guide
- Run a Local Test Validator: Start a local test validator to simulate a full blockchain environment.
- Develop Smart Contracts: Create basic programs in Rust, compile them, and deploy them locally for testing.
- Test and Iterate: Experiment with different design patterns and program interactions within the sandbox.
Expand the sandbox with real-world use cases and complex dApp structures, enabling users to explore more advanced Solana concepts.
