Practical overview

When it fits

Use Solana Go when a Go application needs direct interaction with Solana RPC or WebSocket services, including blockchain data access, transaction workflows or selected program integrations.

Who it is for

  • Go developers building Solana applications
  • Backend developers integrating Solana data or transactions
  • Teams creating self-hosted developer utilities for the Solana ecosystem

Documented uses

  • Query Solana through the full JSON-RPC API
  • Consume Solana WebSocket JSON streams
  • Construct, inspect and submit transactions
  • Decode instructions and use documented Solana, SPL and Metaplex integrations
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The repository is public and licensed under Apache-2.0. Its installation documentation requires Go 1.25 or later. No hosted pricing or account requirement is documented.

  • Choose it when the application is written in Go and needs Solana JSON-RPC or WebSocket access.
  • Review the documented feature checklist because support varies across native, SPL and Metaplex programs.
  • Use the main v1 branch as the documented recommended default unless the v2 changes are specifically required.
  • Plan for API changes because the project describes itself as actively developed and unaudited.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Add Solana Go to a Go project

Install the Solana Go SDK in an existing Go project.

Before you start

  • Go 1.25 or later
  • A Go project directory

Steps

  1. Change into the project directory.

  2. Run the command below.

    Documented command
    go get github.com/gagliardetto/solana-go@latest

  3. Use the repository documentation to select the documented v1 default or investigate the opt-in v2 release candidate before changing versions.

Expected outcome

The Solana Go library is added to the project for development against Solana RPC and WebSocket interfaces.

Guide limitations

  • The project states that its APIs are subject to change.
  • The documentation describes v2 as an opt-in release candidate with breaking API cleanups.
