What's inside

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

  • Backpack

    Multi-chain wallet with built-in xNFT support and an integrated exchange; one of the most widely used Solana wallets today.

  • Ledger

  • Phantom

  • Solflare

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.

  • Kamino FinanceLending

    Automated liquidity and lending protocol on Solana.

  • MarginFiLending

    Decentralized lending protocol on Solana.

  • Marinade FinanceLiquid Staking & Restaking

    Liquid staking protocol on Solana (mSOL).

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.
