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
