Program Derived Addresses (PDAs)
A PDA is an address derived from a program ID plus a list of seeds, deliberately chosen so that it has no private key. Only the deriving program can s…

Learn Solana from real code.
Every lesson here is built from excerpts of real, permissively licensed projects in the Solana SuperStack catalog, with permalinks to the exact lines at a pinned commit and a plain-English walkthrough.
Lessons
Cross-Program Invocations (CPIs)
A CPI is one program calling an instruction on another program, such as the Token Program or System Program. The caller passes the accounts the callee…
SPL Tokens: mints, accounts and transfers
Fungible tokens on Solana are accounts owned by the Token Program. A mint account defines supply and decimals, and a token account holds a balance of …
Token-2022 (Token Extensions)

What to build
Idea pages built from the shape of the catalog: where strong projects are scarce, which stacks dominate each category, and a starter path through real modules.
See the gapsHow to build
Practical guides to setup, the Anchor workflow, testing, deploying from devnet to mainnet, and a security checklist, each linked to the official docs.
