Validator Clients
- Agave
Solana's majority validator client, maintained by Anza (the core engineering team that spun out of Solana Labs).
- Firedancer
Independent, high-performance validator client built from scratch by Jump Crypto for client diversity and network resilience. Live on mainnet since December 2025.
Libraries & Frameworks
- Anchor
The most widely used framework for Solana program development, now maintained by OtterSec.
- Codama
Generates typed TypeScript/Rust clients, CLIs, and docs directly from a Solana program's IDL.
- Solana Dart Flutter
- SolanaJ
- Solana Kit
Anza's modern JavaScript/TypeScript SDK for Solana and the official successor to
- Solana Kotlin
Wallets
Tutorials & Projects
DeFi
- Drift ProtocolPerpetuals
On-chain, cross-margined perpetual futures exchange on Solana.
- JitoLiquid Staking & Restaking
MEV infrastructure and liquid staking (JitoSOL) for Solana validators.
- JupiterDEX Aggregators
The dominant Solana DEX aggregator and "DeFi superapp": swaps, limit orders, perpetuals, lending, and liquid staking routed through nearly every venue on Solana.

AI on Solana
- ElizaOS
Actively developed, model-agnostic TypeScript framework for autonomous AI agents with native Solana support and 90+ plugins. (Note: its associated AI16Z token collapsed and was declared "dead" by its founder in 2026 amid a lawsuit — that's a token story, not a reflection of the open-source framework, which continues independent, active development.)
- Rig
Rust-native framework for building modular, production-grade LLM-powered agents; used in production by real Solana-adjacent projects.
- Solana Agent Kit
Open-source toolkit connecting AI agents to 60+ Solana actions (token, NFT, and DeFi operations) across any LLM or agent framework.
DePIN
- Helium
Decentralized wireless network (IoT and mobile) fully migrated to Solana, using compressed NFTs for hotspot ownership.
- Hivemapper
Decentralized, dashcam-sourced mapping network building a crowdsourced alternative to traditional map providers.
- io.net
Decentralized GPU network aggregating idle compute for AI/ML workloads.
- Render Network
Decentralized GPU compute network for 3D rendering and AI workloads; Solana's largest DePIN project by usage.
Infrastructure & RPC Providers
- Helius
Solana RPC infrastructure and enhanced APIs (DAS API for NFTs/compression) for developers.
- Triton One
High-performance RPC, validator, and historical data infrastructure for Solana.
- Yellowstone gRPC
Triton's "Dragon's Mouth" gRPC streaming service for high-performance, low-latency Solana data feeds; the standard most Solana indexers are built on.
