Developer Tooling

Eclipse Mainnet works with all the standard Solana tooling. This guide provides a comprehensive list of tools and resources available for developers working with Eclipse Mainnet.

Programming Languages

• Rust: Solana smart contracts, known as "programs," are primarily written in Rust due to its focus on performance, safety, and concurrency.

• Python: Seahorse lets you write Solana programs in Python. Developers gain Python's ease-of-use, while still having the same safety guarantees of every Rust program on the SVM chain.

Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) and Editors

• Visual Studio Code: A popular open-source code editor with extensions for Rust development, such as the Rust Analyzer or the official Rust extension.

Frameworks and Libraries

• Anchor: A popular Rust framework for Solana that simplifies the development and testing of smart contracts by providing intuitive API and language constructs.

• Solana Program Library (SPL): A collection of on-chain programs (smart contracts) and off-chain client libraries that serve as building blocks for dApp development on Solana.

Testnets and Devnets

• Eclipse Testnet: This is a network which should not support real economic value.

• Eclipse Devnet: This network simulates the developer experience on Eclipse.

• Solana Testnet: This is the official Solana L1 devnet and testnet.

Testing and Debugging

• Solana's built-in Rust testing: Solana supports Rust's built-in testing framework, enabling developers to write unit tests for their smart contracts.

• Solana Explorer: A block explorer for the a network, which allows developers to monitor transactions, accounts, and program execution on the testnets and mainnet.

Wallets and dApp Interaction

• Eclipse Wallet: This is a fork of the open-source Salmon wallet which is compatible with Eclipse.

• Backpack: Next-generation wallet for Solana and Ethereum chains, currently in beta.

• MetaMask Snaps: Drift has developed a MetaMask Snap compatible with Eclipse.

• Solflare: A widely-used browser extension for SVM that allows users to interact with dApps, manage NFTs, and swap tokens.

RPC Providers

• Triton One: The fastest, most reliable RPC solution for Solana.

• BlockPI: The most cost-effective and high-performance multi-chain RPC provider.
