Practical overview

When it fits

Use it when you want a code-first, devnet example of the Solana NFT-minting workflow and can work with the documented CLI, Anchor and wallet setup.

Who it is for

  • Developers learning Solana program development with Rust and Anchor.
  • Builders seeking an example workflow for Metaplex NFT minting on devnet.

Documented uses

  • Study an Anchor-based NFT-minting program.
  • Configure a Solana devnet wallet and project settings.
  • Build and deploy the example, then run its Anchor test.
  • Check the resulting NFT in Phantom.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

  • The README's workflow uses Solana CLI, Anchor, web3.js, spl-token, Mocha and Phantom Wallet.
  • Local wallet and program settings need to be configured in Anchor.toml.
  • The README estimates about 1.5 SOL for deployment and recommends repeated airdrops to cover deployment and testing.

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

Build, deploy and test the NFT program on devnet

Follow the README's devnet workflow to deploy the example and run its Anchor test.

Before you start

  • Solana CLI tools and Anchor
  • Solana/web3.js, spl-token and Mocha
  • A Solana keypair and Phantom Wallet
  • Yarn and sufficient devnet SOL; the README estimates about 1.5 SOL for deployment and recommends several airdrops for deployment and testing

Steps

  1. Set the Solana CLI cluster to devnet and generate a keypair.

  2. Set the wallet path and devnet cluster in Anchor.toml; the README also describes transferring the key to Phantom.

  3. Run yarn install and anchor build.

  4. Run anchor deploy, then update the program ID in Anchor.toml under [programs.devnet].

  5. Run anchor test and check Phantom's Collectibles for the NFT.

Expected outcome

The README describes a successful test as producing one NFT in the account, visible in Phantom's Collectibles.

Guide limitations

  • The wallet path and program ID must be set for the local setup.
  • The workflow is for devnet and requires SOL for deployment and testing.
  • The repository describes a test walkthrough, not a hosted minting service.
