Pinocchio Template

A simple Solana program template built with the Pinocchio framework for high-performance program development.

Features

• 🚀 High Performance: Built with Pinocchio - Low CU BABY!
• 🧪 Testing Ready: Complete test suite using solana-program-test - the best balance between control and overhead
• 📦 Modular Design: Clean separation between program, SDK, CLI, and tests
• 🔧 Developer Friendly: No magic black box - all in simple Rust!

Installation

git clone <your-repo-url>
cd pinocchio-template
./test.sh

Design Decisions

Inspired by ( https://github.com/Nagaprasadvr/solana-pinocchio-starter ) Found from ( https://solana.stackexchange.com/questions/21489/are-there-any-examples-of-the-pinocchio-framework-that-i-can-study )

• No Direct Dependencies: No crate should use pinocchio-template-example-program directly - the SDK forwards all important exports
• Zero-Copy Performance: Uses Pinocchio for minimal runtime overhead
• Comprehensive Testing: Uses Solana Program Test for integration tests with realistic program interactions. Local validator and other testing frameworks did not meet our needs.
• Workspace Structure: Organized as a Cargo workspace for better dependency management
