Solana Core Architecture

Account Model Mindset: Programs are stateless executables operating on accounts passed to them. Program state/data lives in those accounts. Consult references/ACCOUNT_MODEL.md for Program Derived Addresses (PDA) patterns and rent calculations.

Critical Constraints:

• Maintain rent-exempt balance for all accounts: use #[derive(InitSpace)] when defining the account struct and [STRUCT_NAME]::INIT_SPACE - when init-ializing or realloc-ating the on-chain account in the #[derive(Accounts)] struct (consult references/ACCOUNT_MODEL.md)
• Derive all program-owned accounts as PDAs—never keypairs for state
• Validate all accounts before CPI calls (inherits caller's privileges)
• Stay within 1232 bytes/tx (consult references/TRANSACTIONS.md)
