SolScript¶

A high-level language for Solana smart contract development

SolScript brings Solidity-style syntax to Solana, making it easier for developers to write secure and efficient smart contracts for the Solana blockchain.

Features¶

• Familiar Syntax - Solidity-style syntax that's easy to learn
• Automatic PDA Handling - Mappings become PDAs automatically
• Solana Native - Compiles to optimized Solana BPF programs
• Type Safe - Strong static typing catches errors at compile time
• SPL Token Support - Built-in token transfer, mint, burn operations
• IDE Support - Language server for VS Code and other editors
• Fast Compilation - Quick feedback during development

Quick Example¶

contract Counter {
    @state count: u64;
    @state owner: Address;

    event CountChanged(by: Address, newValue: u64);

    fn init() {
        self.owner = tx.sender;
        self.count = 0;
    }

    @public
    fn increment() {
        self.count += 1;
        emit CountChanged(tx.sender, self.count);
    }

    @public
    @view
    fn get_count(): u64 {
        return self.count;
    }
}

Getting Started¶

Why SolScript?¶

For Solidity Developers¶

If you're coming from Ethereum, SolScript feels like home. Use familiar syntax while targeting the high-performance Solana blockchain.

For Solana Developers¶

Skip the boilerplate of Anchor/Rust. Write cleaner, more maintainable code with automatic account management and PDA derivation.

Key Advantages¶

• Automatic PDAs: Mappings become PDA-based storage automatically
• Readable: Code that's easy to understand and audit
• Safe: Built-in overflow protection and access control
• Fast: Generates optimized Anchor/Rust code
• Extensible: Generated code can be customized when needed

Current Limitations¶

SolScript handles most common patterns, but some Solana features require workarounds:

• No incoming SOL payments - msg.value returns 0, use wrapped SOL for receiving payments
• No Token 2022 - Only SPL Token supported
• See Roadmap for full details

Installation¶

# Install via cargo
cargo install solscript

# Or build from source
