Solana Kite 🪁

Note

This is a new Rust port of Solana Kite! It works well but it may have some bugs - please report them!

A Rust library that works great with LiteSVM for testing your Solana programs. Solana Kite offers high-level abstractions for common Solana operations like program deployment, transaction sending, token operations, and account management.

Features

• 🚀 Program Deployment: Deploy programs to test environments
• 💸 Transaction Utilities: Send transactions from instructions with proper signing
• 🪙 Token Operations: Create mints, associated token accounts, and mint tokens
• 👛 Account Management: Create wallets, check balances, and manage account state
• 🔑 PDA Utilities: Generate Program Derived Addresses with type-safe seed handling
• 🛡️ Error Handling: Comprehensive error types for robust error handling
• 📚 Well Documented: Extensive documentation and examples

Installation

cargo add --dev solana-kite

or add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dev-dependencies]
solana-kite = "0.2.0"

Quick Start

use solana_kite::{create_wallet, create_token_mint, create_associated_token_account, mint_tokens_to_account};
use litesvm::LiteSVM;

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Initialize test environment
    let mut litesvm = LiteSVM::new();

    // Create wallets
    let mint_authority = create_wallet(&mut litesvm, 1_000_000_000)?; // 1 SOL
    let user = create_wallet(&mut litesvm, 1_000_000_000)?; // 1 SOL

    // Create a token mint (6 decimals, like USDC)
    let mint = create_token_mint(&mut litesvm, &mint_authority, 6)?;

    // Create associated token account for user
    let user_token_account = create_associated_token_account(
        &mut litesvm,
        &user,
        &mint.pubkey(),
        &user,
    )?;

    // Mint 1000 tokens to user
    mint_tokens_to_account(
        &mut litesvm,
        &mint.pubkey(),
        &user_token_account,
        1_000_000_000, // 1000 tokens with 6 decimals
        &mint_authority,
    )?;

    println!("🎉 Successfully minted tokens!");
    Ok(())
}

API Overview

Wallet Operations

use solana_kite::{create_wallet, create_wallets};

// Create a single wallet with 1 SOL
let wallet = create_wallet(&mut litesvm, 1_000_000_000)?;

// Create multiple wallets
let wallets = create_wallets(&mut litesvm, 5, 1_000_000_000)?; // 5 wallets, 1 SOL each

Token Operations

use solana_kite::{
    create_token_mint, create_associated_token_account,
    mint_tokens_to_account, get_token_account_balance, assert_token_balance
};

// Create token mint with 9 decimals
let mint = create_token_mint(&mut litesvm, &mint_authority, 9)?;

// Create associated token account
let token_account = create_associated_token_account(&mut litesvm, &owner, &mint.pubkey(), &payer)?;

// Mint tokens
mint_tokens_to_account(&mut litesvm, &mint.pubkey(), &token_account, 1_000_000_000, &mint_authority)?;

// Check balance
let balance = get_token_account_balance(&litesvm, &token_account)?;

// Assert balance (useful for testing)
assert_token_balance(&litesvm, &token_account, 1_000_000_000, "Should have 1B tokens");

Program Derived Addresses (PDAs)

use solana_kite::{get_pda_and_bump, seeds, Seed};
use solana_pubkey::Pubkey;

let program_id = Pubkey::new_unique();
let user_address = Pubkey::new_unique();

// Using the convenient seeds! macro
let seed_vec = seeds!["user-account", user_address, 42u64];
let (pda, bump) = get_pda_and_bump(&seed_vec, &program_id);

// Or create seeds manually
let manual_seeds = vec![
    Seed::String("user-account".to_string()),
    Seed::Address(user_address),
    Seed::U64(42),
];
let (pda2, bump2) = get_pda_and_bump(&manual_seeds, &program_id);

Transaction Sending

use solana_kite::send_transaction_from_instructions;

let instructions = vec![/* your instructions */];
send_transaction_from_instructions(
    &mut litesvm,
    instructions,
    &[&signer1, &signer2],
    &fee_payer.pubkey(),
)?;

Program Deployment

use solana_kite::deploy_program;

deploy_program(
    &mut litesvm,
    &program_id,
    "./target/deploy/my_program.so",
)?;

Error Handling

Solana Kite provides comprehensive error handling through the SolanaKiteError enum:

use solana_kite::SolanaKiteError;

match some_operation() {
    Ok(result) => println!("Success: {:?}", result),
    Err(SolanaKiteError::TransactionFailed(msg)) => eprintln!("Transaction failed: {}", msg),
    Err(SolanaKiteError::TokenOperationFailed(msg)) => eprintln!("Token operation failed: {}", msg),
    Err(SolanaKiteError::AccountOperationFailed(msg)) => eprintln!("Account operation failed: {}", msg),
    Err(e) => eprintln!("Other error: {}", e),
}
