Solana WEB3: Build Go apps for Solana tokens

Understand the project

Practical overview

Use it when building Solana functionality into a Go application and you need library-level RPC, transaction, transfer or token-creation support.

Go developers building applications that interact with Solana.
Developers implementing SOL or token transfers, transaction signing, token metadata or token creation.

Call Solana RPC methods from Go application code.
Retrieve a SOL balance or parse SOL and token transfers.
Create and sign transactions, including transfers of SOL, SPL tokens and Token-2022 tokens.
Create tokens with metadata and work with documented Token-2022 extensions.

Before you choose

The repository is public and identifies the project as MIT-licensed.

The library is written in Go and targets applications using the Solana network.
The README documents a Devnet connection example, while real transaction workflows require application code and a configured connection.
The README lists support for Token-2022 extensions including interest-bearing mints, metadata pointers, permanent delegates and non-transferable tokens.

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

Create a Devnet connection and make a rent-exemption balance query using the library.

Import github.com/donutnomad/solana-web3/web3.
Create a client with web3.NewConnection(web3.Devnet.Url(), &web3.ConnectionConfig{Commitment: &web3.CommitmentConfirmed}).
Check the returned error, then call client.GetMinimumBalanceForRentExemption(0, nil) and check its error.

The code example establishes a Devnet client and retrieves a minimum balance for rent exemption for the supplied size of zero.

The example does not provide a complete standalone application or show output from running it.
The documented transfer code references values such as owner, recipient, mint, amount, and commitment without defining them in the example.
