Toolchain

How Solana program and dApp toolchain pieces fit together - Agave install, avm/Anchor, cargo build-sbf, scaffolds, editor setup, and verifiable builds as one builder mental map.

Understand the Solana developer toolchain: Rust, Agave validator/CLI, platform tools like cargo build-sbf, and Anchor for reproducible builds.

Manage Agave/Solana CLI and Anchor versions with agave-install and avm. Learn to pin versions for consistent builds across environments.

Scaffold a full-stack Solana dApp with create-solana-dapp, generating an Anchor program and Next.js client with pre-wired wallet adapter and RPC.

Mucho CLI simplifies Solana development with a superset CLI for setup, scaffolding, building, and deploying projects, orchestrating existing tools.

Compile on-chain programs to sBPF ELF with cargo build-sbf, inspect artifact size, and prepare .so files for deployment.

Configure VS Code or Cursor with rust-analyzer for fast navigation, macro expansion, and test runs on Solana/Anchor programs.

Learn 25 essential toolchain practices for reproducible development. Pin Agave and Rust versions, manage Anchor with AVM, and optimize CI builds.
