Connecting to a Solana Environment

To develop on Solana, you first need to connect to a Solana cluster.

Cluster	RPC Endpoint
mainnet-beta	`https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com`
devnet	`https://api.devnet.solana.com`
testnet	`https://api.testnet.solana.com`
localhost	`http://127.0.0.1:8899`

Connect using RPC URL

Connect to a specific RPC endpoint:

import { createSolanaRpc, createSolanaRpcSubscriptions } from "@solana/kit";

const rpc = createSolanaRpc("https://api.devnet.solana.com");
const rpcSubscriptions = createSolanaRpcSubscriptions(
  "wss://api.devnet.solana.com"
);

Connect using the network moniker

You can also connect to a public RPC endpoint by specifying its network name (moniker):

import { createSolanaClient } from "gill";

const { rpc, rpcSubscriptions } = createSolanaClient({
  urlOrMoniker: "devnet" // or `mainnet`, `localnet`, etc
});
