Complete, runnable examples demonstrating `litesvm-go`. Each example is a
self-contained Go test you can drop into a package and run with `go test`.

## Running Examples

```bash
# 1) Initialize a Go module (skip if you already have a go.mod)
go mod init mytest

# 2) Add the dependencies to your Go project
go get github.com/LiteSVM/litesvm-go
go get github.com/gagliardetto/solana-go

# 3) Drop an example into a _test.go file and run
go test ./...
```

On Alpine / musl, add `-tags musl` to your `go test` invocation so the right
vendored archive is linked.

For a standalone command-line example (no test runner), see
[`examples/transfer/main.go`](https://github.com/LiteSVM/litesvm-go/blob/main/examples/transfer/main.go)
in the `litesvm-go` repo.
