Practical overview
When it fits
Use the repository when you need a starting point for a Solana marketplace project or want to follow its documented contract build and deployment process.
Who it is for
- Developers exploring or adapting a Solana marketplace frontend and contract.
- Solana developers who need a documented Anchor program build and deployment flow.
Documented uses
- Inspect a marketplace project that includes both a web frontend and on-chain program.
- Build the Anchor program and deploy it to a configured Solana cluster.
- Configure a custom program address before the first deployment.
Requirements & limits
- Anchor is a prerequisite for the documented contract workflow.
- The README sets devnet as the default cluster while listing localnet and mainnet configurations.
- The deployment wallet is described as the fee payer and needs SOL; the README estimates about 10 SOL for mainnet deployment.
- A custom program address must be unused and configured in the program ID declaration before rebuilding and deploying.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Build and deploy the Anchor program
Build the marketplace contract and deploy it using the repository’s configured Solana cluster.
Before you start
- Anchor installed.
- Project dependencies installed with Yarn or npm.
- A deployment wallet JSON file configured in Anchor.toml and funded with SOL for fees.
Steps
Install the project dependencies with Yarn or npm install.
Run npm run build to build the contract.
Run npm run deploy to deploy it.
Expected outcome
The repository documents a build and deployment flow for the program; Anchor.toml lists localnet, devnet and mainnet, with devnet configured as the cluster.
Guide limitations
- The README gives no fixed deployment cost; it estimates about 10 SOL for mainnet.
- Custom program addresses require changing declare_id! before rebuilding and first deployment, and the address must be unused.
