Minimizing the amount of compute a program uses is critical both for the performance and cost of executing transactions. This guide will show you how to optimize compute usage in your programs on Solana.

Learn how to to use transaction simulation to get the compute units consumed and build an optimal transaction.

Priority Fees are a new feature on Solana that allow you to specify an additional fee to your transactions. These fees help make your transaction more economically compelling to include in a block.

One-stop shop for Solana's Durable Nonces: an easy way to power your Solana dapps

Stake-weighed QoS (Quality-of-Service) is an implementation feature which, when enabled, allows leaders (block producers) to identify and prioritize transactions proxied through a staked validator as an additional sybil resistance mechanism.

Learn how to implement Cross Program Invocations (CPI) in Solana programs using the Anchor framework

This guide provides a basic overview of the Anchor framework. Anchor is a framework for Solana's Sealevel runtime providing several convenient developer tools for writing smart contracts.

This guide provides a basic overview on how to develop on-chain programs using the Rust programming language.

Quickstart guide on how to build your first Solana program with Solidity using Solang

Configure all new Token Accounts to be frozen by default, then requiring all tokens to be unfrozen by the authority before they can be usable.

With the new token extensions, you can create custom logic for your tokens. In this guide we will go over everything you need to know about token extensions and what you need to get started building today

With the Token program, the `SetAuthority` instruction can be used to transfer ownership of an account to another. The `ImmutableOwner` extension can be used to prevent this.

Interest-bearing tokens are tokens that can either increase or decrease in value over time. Similar to how a bank savings account or a loan accumulates interest.

The Metadata Pointer extension enables a Mint Account to specify the address of the account that stores its metadata. When used along with the Metadata Extension, metadata can be stored directly on the Mint Account.

With Token Extensions, it is possible to close token mint accounts by initializing the MintCloseAuthority extension before initializing the mint.

In the world of digital collectibles, NFTs have plenty of uses outside of the PFP meta. Enter the concept of 'soul-bound' tokens - assets that are tied to an individual and cannot be transferred.

Token Extensions allow you to specify a permanent account delegate for a mint with unlimited delegate privileges over any account associated with that mint, including burning or transferring any amount of tokens.

The Token Extensions program has an account extension that can be applied after initializing a Token Account, enabling expanding support for more extensions after initial creation.

Memos in financial transactions serve as a communication tool between sender and recipient. It aids in the identification of both parties and offers clarity on the purpose of the transfer.

With any form of transaction, there's often a desire to collect or apply a fee. Similar to a small service charge every time you transfer money at a bank or the way royalties or taxes are collected for particular transfers.

The Transfer Hook extension and Transfer Hook Interface introduce the ability to create Mint Accounts that execute custom instruction logic on every token transfer.
