};
// Send transaction

let result = svm.send_transaction(tx).unwrap();
// Verify program was called

}

Key Points

  1. Program Deployment: Use add_program() to deploy a program from bytes
  2. include_bytes!: Embeds the compiled program at compile time
  3. Program ID: Use the keypair from target/deploy/
  4. Instructions: Create custom instructions with program ID, accounts, and data
  5. Log Verification: Check transaction logs to verify program execution
