## What it is
An official collection of Solana onchain program (smart contract) examples written in Anchor, Pinocchio, and native Rust. Each example is provided in multiple implementations with build and test instructions using pnpm.

## Use cases
- learn how to write Solana smart contracts
- find example Solana programs for common tasks
- compare Anchor vs native Rust Solana program implementations
- get a hello world Solana program template
- learn how to store account data on Solana
- study Solana program testing with litesvm

## When to choose
- you are learning Solana onchain program development
- you want reference implementations in Anchor, Pinocchio, or native Rust
- you need starting code for a Solana program task like account data or tokens

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready application rather than example code
- you are looking for client-side wallet or dApp frontend tooling
- you need non-Solana blockchain development resources

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools, documentation, sdk
- domain: blockchain, developer-tools, tutorials
- platform: rust, cross-platform
- tags: solana, anchor, pinocchio, smart-contracts, web3, code-examples, blockchain-development, typescript
