Powerful tooling that is continually improved supports cutting-edge apps that are secure, usable, and scalable.
When developers have great tooling, they can more easily take advantage of the full capabilities of a network. Better tooling means better apps, which in turn unlocks new use cases and more users.
How Solana is doing
Powerful tooling was released in the Solana ecosystem over the past year, including: Pinnochio, Surfpool, Solana Attestation Service, Token Extensions, and Blockchain Links (blinks) and Actions. These tools make it easier for developers to create apps that take advantage of the full capabilities of Solana.
Pinocchio
Pinocchio is a zero-dependency library used to create Solana programs in Rust. By not relying on the Solana-program crate or any other external dependencies, it makes Solana programs more lightweight and reduces potential conflicts.
Surfpool
Surfpool is a fast, developer-friendly simulation of Solana Mainnet that runs on local machines. It eliminates the need for high-performance hardware while maintaining an authentic testing environment.
Solana Attestation Service
Solana Attestation Service (SAS) is a public good program for associating offchain data (such as KYC checks, geographic eligibility, membership in a clip, or accreditation status) with onchain accounts. These attestations are signed, verifiable, and reusable across applications without exposing sensitive data onchain or duplicating verification steps. SAS enables use cases for compliance, access control, and programmable trust on Solana, such as proving investor accreditation for tokenized equities and RWAs, giving individuals or DAOs verifiable, decentralized reputation (e.g. creditworthiness for lending in DeFi protocols), verifying region before giving access to a token launch or mint and more. SAS was launched with support from Civic, Solana.ID, SOL.ID, Cogni, Trusta Labs, Wecan, Range, Polyflow, Bluprynt, Roam, and others throughout the ecosystem.
Token Extensions
Token extensions (released in early 2024) are the next generation of the Solana Program Library Token standard. Over a dozen extensions, such as confidential transfers, transfer hooks, and interest-bearing tokens, provide advanced configurable functionality. Token extensions give teams flexibility and advanced features in their tokens.
Examples of products using Token Extensions include PayPal’s PYUSD stablecoin and the Global Dollar Network’s USDG.
Blinks
Solana blinks (released in conjunction with Dialect in June 2024) are an interface that turns any Solana action into a shareable, metadata-rich link. Blinks are clickable anywhere on the internet capable of displaying a URL, including X, Discord, websites, mobile, and more. With blinks, developers can enable anything that can be done on Solana into their app or website.
Example use cases include using crypto to pay for goods, Â buying or trading tokens, and playing games.
