Overview

Master the Anchor framework — the most popular toolkit for building Solana programs. Anchor abstracts away much of the boilerplate code required in native Solana development, letting you focus on business logic. Learn program structure, account validation with constraints, and custom error handling to build robust decentralized applications.

What You Will Learn

  • Set up an Anchor project with declare_id! and #[program]
  • Define account structs with validation constraints
  • Implement custom error codes for better debugging
  • Build a complete Anchor program from scratch
