Surfpool is a drop-in replacement for solana-test-validator, purpose-built to
offer the best possible experience for developers building on Solana.
Its core feature is letting developers simulate their programs locally using Mainnet accounts fetched just in time.
Surfpool also seamlessly introduces Infrastructure as Code into Anchor- or Pinocchio-based projects, enabling reproducible, auditable, and secure deployments to any Solana network—private or public.
