Solana is a high-performance, web-scale blockchain implemented in Rust, designed for fast, secure, scalable decentralized apps and marketplaces. The original solana-labs/solana repository is now a public archive; development continues in the Anza-maintained Agave validator implementation.

Use cases

  • run a solana validator node
  • spin up a local blockchain testnet for development
  • build decentralized apps on a high-throughput blockchain
  • benchmark blockchain consensus and transaction throughput
  • fork a reference implementation of a proof-of-stake blockchain
  • connect to the solana devnet cluster for testing

When to choose

  • you need a reference implementation of the original Solana validator for study or forking
  • you want to explore archived Solana Labs source code
  • you need a historical release of the Solana blockchain software

When to avoid

  • you want to run or contribute to a current Solana validator - use Anza's Agave instead
  • you need actively maintained blockchain software with security patches
  • you want to build dApps - use Solana SDKs and tooling rather than the validator source
