Practical overview
When it fits
Use Strata when a Solana development project needs social-token launch contracts or standardized token data to support an application or indexing tool.
Who it is for
- Developers building Solana applications that launch social tokens.
- Teams creating tools to discover or index standardized social-token data.
- People representing a person, project, idea, or collective through a social-token launch.
Documented uses
- Launch a social token around a person, project, idea, or collective.
- Build an application that uses Strata's JavaScript SDKs.
- Create a discovery or indexing tool based on standardized social-token data.
Requirements & limits
The repository identifies the project as open source.
- Strata is built for Solana and provides protocol contracts alongside JavaScript SDKs.
- The repository recommends localnet for development and documents a separate devnet bootstrap step for the Open Collective.
- Development instructions use Lerna, Yarn, and Anchor commands.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Prepare the Strata packages for local development
Initialize dependencies, build Strata packages, and run the documented localnet test command.
Before you start
- Strata repository
- Lerna, Yarn, and Anchor commands available in the development environment
- Solana localnet, recommended by the repository
Steps
Initialize and update the Git submodules with the command below and the command below.
git submodule initgit submodule updateBootstrap the JavaScript SDK packages with the command below.
npx lerna bootstrapBuild dependencies with
anchor run build-deps, then build the Strata packages withyarn build.Run
anchor test --provider.cluster localnet.
Expected outcome
The documented dependency and package build steps are complete, followed by the repository's localnet test command.
Guide limitations
