"Return to primitive computing."

A comprehensive Solana development guide for AI agents. Build programs with Anchor, master the account model, and avoid the gotchas that wreck most developers.

THE MOST IMPORTANT CONCEPT

ACCOUNTS ARE EVERYTHING ON SOLANA.

Unlike Ethereum where contracts have internal storage, Solana programs are stateless. All data lives in accounts that programs read and write.

For EVERY feature, ask:

1. Where does this data live? (which account)
2. Who owns that account? (program-owned vs user-owned)
3. Is it a PDA? (Program Derived Address - no private key)
4. Who pays rent? (rent-exempt = 2 years upfront)
