Quickstart

A minimal example to fetch a balance and send a memo:

using Solnet.Rpc;
using Solnet.Rpc.Builders;
using Solnet.Rpc.Types;
using Solnet.Programs;
using Solnet.Wallet;
var rpc = ClientFactory.GetClient(Cluster.MainNet); var wallet = new Wallet(); var from = wallet.GetAccount(0);
// Get balance var bal = rpc.GetBalance(from.PublicKey); Console.WriteLine($"Balance: {bal.Result.Value} lamports");
// Send a simple memo transaction var blockhash = rpc.GetLatestBlockHash(); var tx = new TransactionBuilder()     .SetRecentBlockHash(blockhash.Result.Value.Blockhash)     .SetFeePayer(from)     .AddInstruction(ComputeBudgetProgram.SetComputeUnitLimit(30000))     .AddInstruction(ComputeBudgetProgram.SetComputeUnitPrice(1000000))     .AddInstruction(MemoProgram.NewMemo(from, "Hello from Solnet"))     .Build(from);
var sig = rpc.SendTransaction(tx); Console.WriteLine($"tx: {sig.Result}");

Examples

The Solnet.Examples project contains runnable code examples. Some examples derive accounts from a seed and may fail if an account at a derivation index already exists with the same seed. If you see simulation logs like account address is ... already in use, increment the derivation index (e.g., wallet.GetAccount(index + 1)).

Wallets

The Solnet.Wallet project implements wallet and key generation compatible with both solana-keygen and Phantom.

Initialize a keypair from a secret key

var account = Account.FromSecretKey("");

Initialize a wallet (Phantom-compatible by default)

var wallet = new Wallet("mnemonic words ...", WordList.English);
var account = wallet.GetAccount(10);

Initialize a wallet compatible with solana-keygen

var wallet = new Wallet("mnemonic words ...", WordList.English, "passphrase", SeedMode.Bip39);
var account = wallet.Account; // solana-keygen uses a fixed derivation path

Generating new wallets

var newMnemonic = new Mnemonic(WordList.English, WordCount.Twelve);
var wallet = new Wallet(newMnemonic);

KeyStore

The Solnet.KeyStore project enables secure storage of keys, seeds, and mnemonics. It implements the Web3 Secret Storage Definition and includes SolanaKeyStoreService to read keys generated by solana-keygen.

Secret KeyStore Service

var secretKeyStoreService = new SecretKeyStoreService();
var jsonString = secretKeyStoreService.EncryptAndGenerateDefaultKeyStoreAsJson(password, data, address);
try {     var decrypted = KeyStore.DecryptKeyStoreFromJson(password, jsonString); } catch (Exception) {     Console.WriteLine("Invalid password!"); }

Solana KeyStore Service

var solanaKeyStoreService = new SolanaKeyStoreService();
var wallet = solanaKeyStoreService.RestoreKeystore(filePath, passphrase);

RPC and Streaming RPC

The Solnet.Rpc project contains a full implementation of the Solana JSON RPC.

ClientFactory pattern

var rpcClient = ClientFactory.GetClient(Cluster.MainNet, logger);
var paidClient = ClientFactory.GetClient("https://your.paid.rpc", logger);
var streamingRpcClient = ClientFactory.GetStreamingClient(Cluster.MainNet, logger);

Using the RPC

var accountInfo = rpcClient.GetAccountInfo("5omQJtDUHA3gMFdHEQg1zZSvcBUVzey5WaKWYRmqF1Vj");
var tokenAccounts = rpcClient.GetTokenAccountsByOwner("5omQJtDUHA3gMFdHEQg1zZSvcBUVzey5WaKWYRmqF1Vj");
var wrappedSolAccounts = rpcClient.GetTokenAccountsByOwner(
    "5omQJtDUHA3gMFdHEQg1zZSvcBUVzey5WaKWYRmqF1Vj",
    "So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112");
var serumAddress = "9xQeWvG816bUx9EPjHmaT23yvVM2ZWbrrpZb9PusVFin"; var programAccounts = rpcClient.GetProgramAccounts(serumAddress); var filters = new List<MemCmp>() { new MemCmp { Offset = 45, Bytes = OwnerAddress } }; var filteredProgramAccounts = rpcClient.GetProgramAccounts(serumAddress, memCmpList: filters);

Using the Streaming RPC

var txSig = rpcClient.SendTransaction(tx);
var subscription = streamingRpcClient.SubscribeSignature(txSig.Result, (state, response) =>
{
    // handle confirmation
}, Commitment.Finalized);

Sending a transaction

Important: Understanding priority fees

Poorly optimized transactions can get dropped due to high compute demand. Always specify both compute unit limit and price to improve inclusion probability.

var txBuilder = new TransactionBuilder()
    .AddInstruction(ComputeBudgetProgram.SetComputeUnitLimit(30000))
    .AddInstruction(ComputeBudgetProgram.SetComputeUnitPrice(1000000));

var rpcClient = ClientFactory.GetClient(Cluster.MainNet);
var wallet = new Wallet();
var fromAccount = wallet.GetAccount(0);
var toAccount = wallet.GetAccount(1);
var blockHash = rpcClient.GetLatestBlockHash();
var tx = new TransactionBuilder()     .SetRecentBlockHash(blockHash.Result.Value.Blockhash)     .SetFeePayer(fromAccount)     .AddInstruction(ComputeBudgetProgram.SetComputeUnitLimit(30000))     .AddInstruction(ComputeBudgetProgram.SetComputeUnitPrice(1000000))     .AddInstruction(MemoProgram.NewMemo(fromAccount, "Hello from Sol.Net :)"))     .AddInstruction(SystemProgram.Transfer(fromAccount, toAccount.PublicKey, 100000))     .Build(fromAccount);
var firstSig = rpcClient.SendTransaction(tx);

Create, Initialize and Mint

var wallet = new Wallet(MnemonicWords);
var blockHash = rpcClient.GetLatestBlockHash(); var minBalanceForExemptionAcc = rpcClient.GetMinimumBalanceForRentExemption(TokenProgram.TokenAccountDataSize).Result; var minBalanceForExemptionMint = rpcClient.GetMinimumBalanceForRentExemption(TokenProgram.MintAccountDataSize).Result;
var mintAccount = wallet.GetAccount(21); var ownerAccount = wallet.GetAccount(10); var initialAccount = wallet.GetAccount(22);
var tx = new TransactionBuilder()     .SetRecentBlockHash(blockHash.Result.Value.Blockhash)     .SetFeePayer(ownerAccount)     .AddInstruction(ComputeBudgetProgram.SetComputeUnitLimit(30000))     .AddInstruction(ComputeBudgetProgram.SetComputeUnitPrice(1000000))     .AddInstruction(SystemProgram.CreateAccount(         ownerAccount,         mintAccount,         minBalanceForExemptionMint,         TokenProgram.MintAccountDataSize,         TokenProgram.ProgramIdKey))     .AddInstruction(TokenProgram.InitializeMint(         mintAccount.PublicKey,         2,         ownerAccount.PublicKey,         ownerAccount.PublicKey))     .AddInstruction(SystemProgram.CreateAccount(         ownerAccount,         initialAccount,         minBalanceForExemptionAcc,         TokenProgram.TokenAccountDataSize,         TokenProgram.ProgramIdKey))     .AddInstruction(TokenProgram.InitializeAccount(         initialAccount.PublicKey,         mintAccount.PublicKey,         ownerAccount.PublicKey))     .AddInstruction(TokenProgram.MintTo(         mintAccount.PublicKey,         initialAccount.PublicKey,         25000,         ownerAccount))     .AddInstruction(MemoProgram.NewMemo(initialAccount, "Hello from Sol.Net"))     .Build(new List<Account>{ ownerAccount, mintAccount, initialAccount });

Transfer a Token to a new Token Account

var rpcClient = ClientFactory.GetClient(Cluster.MainNet);
var wallet = new Wallet();
var blockHash = rpcClient.GetLatestBlockHash(); var minBalanceForExemptionAcc =     rpcClient.GetMinimumBalanceForRentExemption(TokenProgram.TokenAccountDataSize).Result;
var mintAccount = wallet.GetAccount(21); var ownerAccount = wallet.GetAccount(10); var initialAccount = wallet.GetAccount(22); var newAccount = wallet.GetAccount(23);
var tx = new TransactionBuilder()     .SetRecentBlockHash(blockHash.Result.Value.Blockhash)     .SetFeePayer(ownerAccount)     .AddInstruction(ComputeBudgetProgram.SetComputeUnitLimit(30000))     .AddInstruction(ComputeBudgetProgram.SetComputeUnitPrice(1000000))     .AddInstruction(SystemProgram.CreateAccount(         ownerAccount,         newAccount,         minBalanceForExemptionAcc,         TokenProgram.TokenAccountDataSize,         TokenProgram.ProgramIdKey))     .AddInstruction(TokenProgram.InitializeAccount(         newAccount.PublicKey,         mintAccount.PublicKey,         ownerAccount.PublicKey))     .AddInstruction(TokenProgram.Transfer(         initialAccount.PublicKey,         newAccount.PublicKey,         25000,         ownerAccount))     .AddInstruction(MemoProgram.NewMemo(initialAccount, "Hello from Sol.Net"))     .Build(new List<Account>{ ownerAccount, newAccount });

Transaction and Message decoding

var tx = Transaction.Deserialize(txData);
var msg = Message.Deserialize(msgData);
var signedTx = Transaction.Populate(msg, new List<byte[]> { account.Sign(msgData) });

Programs

The Solnet.Programs project contains implementations of several Native and SPL programs. See Solnet.Examples for more depth, including multi-signature operations.

Hello Solana World

var memoInstruction = MemoProgram.NewMemo(wallet.Account, "Hello Solana World, using Solnet :)");
var recentHash = rpcClient.GetLatestBlockHash();
var tx = new TransactionBuilder()     .SetFeePayer(wallet.Account)     .AddInstruction(ComputeBudgetProgram.SetComputeUnitLimit(30000))     .AddInstruction(ComputeBudgetProgram.SetComputeUnitPrice(1000000))     .AddInstruction(memoInstruction)     .SetRecentBlockHash(recentHash.Result.Value.Blockhash)     .Build(wallet.Account);

Creating and sending tokens to an Associated Token Account

var recentHash = rpcClient.GetLatestBlockHash();
PublicKey associatedTokenAccountOwner = new ("65EoWs57dkMEWbK4TJkPDM76rnbumq7r3fiZJnxggj2G"); PublicKey associatedTokenAccount =     AssociatedTokenAccountProgram.DeriveAssociatedTokenAccount(associatedTokenAccountOwner, mintAccount);
byte[] txBytes = new TransactionBuilder()     .SetRecentBlockHash(recentHash.Result.Value.Blockhash)     .SetFeePayer(ownerAccount)     .AddInstruction(ComputeBudgetProgram.SetComputeUnitLimit(30000))     .AddInstruction(ComputeBudgetProgram.SetComputeUnitPrice(1000000))     .AddInstruction(AssociatedTokenAccountProgram.CreateAssociatedTokenAccount(         ownerAccount,         associatedTokenAccountOwner,         mintAccount))     .AddInstruction(TokenProgram.Transfer(         initialAccount,         associatedTokenAccount,         25000,         ownerAccount))     .AddInstruction(MemoProgram.NewMemo(ownerAccount, "Hello from Sol.Net"))     .Build(new List<Account> { ownerAccount });
string signature = rpcClient.SendTransaction(txBytes);

Creating and extending an Address Lookup Table for a complex transaction

var rpcClient = ClientFactory.GetClient(Cluster.MainNet);
var wallet = new Wallet("mnemonic words ...", WordList.English);
var authorityAccount = wallet.GetAccount(0); var payerAccount = authorityAccount;
// ALT creation depends on a recent slot and derives the lookup table PDA from // authority + recentSlot. ulong recentSlot = rpcClient.GetSlot().Result; PublicKey lookupTableAddress = AddressLookupTableProgram.DeriveLookupTableAddress(     authorityAccount.PublicKey,     recentSlot);
var createBlockHash = rpcClient.GetLatestBlockHash(); byte[] createAltTx = new TransactionBuilder()     .SetRecentBlockHash(createBlockHash.Result.Value.Blockhash)     .SetFeePayer(payerAccount)     .AddInstruction(ComputeBudgetProgram.SetComputeUnitLimit(60000))     .AddInstruction(ComputeBudgetProgram.SetComputeUnitPrice(1000000))     .AddInstruction(AddressLookupTableProgram.CreateLookupTable(         authorityAccount.PublicKey,         payerAccount.PublicKey,         recentSlot))     .Build(payerAccount);
string createAltSignature = rpcClient.SendTransaction(createAltTx).Result;
// Wait for confirmation before extending or consuming the table in a v0 transaction. List<PublicKey> addressesToCache = new() {     TokenProgram.ProgramIdKey,     SystemProgram.ProgramIdKey,     new PublicKey("So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112"),     new PublicKey("ATokenGPvbdGVxr1b2hvZbsiqW5xWH25efTNsLJA8knL") };
var extendBlockHash = rpcClient.GetLatestBlockHash(); byte[] extendAltTx = new TransactionBuilder()     .SetRecentBlockHash(extendBlockHash.Result.Value.Blockhash)     .SetFeePayer(payerAccount)     .AddInstruction(ComputeBudgetProgram.SetComputeUnitLimit(60000))     .AddInstruction(ComputeBudgetProgram.SetComputeUnitPrice(1000000))     .AddInstruction(AddressLookupTableProgram.ExtendLookupTable(         lookupTableAddress,         authorityAccount.PublicKey,         payerAccount.PublicKey,         addressesToCache))     .Build(payerAccount);
string extendAltSignature = rpcClient.SendTransaction(extendAltTx).Result;
// Once confirmed, the table can be referenced from a v0 transaction through // VersionedTransaction.AddressTableLookups and MessageAddressTableLookup. var lookupReference = new Message.MessageAddressTableLookup {     AccountKey = lookupTableAddress,     WritableIndexes = System.Array.Empty<byte>(),     ReadonlyIndexes = new byte[] { 0, 1, 2, 3 } };

This pattern is useful when a later transaction needs more account addresses than fit comfortably in the legacy message format. In Solnet, you typically create and populate the ALT with TransactionBuilder, wait for confirmation, and then reference it from a VersionedTransaction when building the larger v0 message.

Instruction decoding

var msg = Message.Deserialize(msgBase64);
var decodedInstructions = InstructionDecoder.DecodeInstructions(msg);
