Blockchain Development Programming Tutorials, Guides & Best Practices

Solana, one of the fastest-growing blockchain platforms, offers a robust development environment for building decentralized applications (dApps). A key feature of Solana's ecosystem is its Program Library (SPL), which provides pre-built functions that developers can leverage to speed up the development process. In this tutorial, we will explore how to use Solana's Program Library to build applications efficiently, focusing on the essentials you need to get started.

Before diving into Solana's Program Library, ensure you have the following:

   mkdir solana-address-tracker
   cd solana-address-tracker

   npm init -y

You can run this script periodically to monitor for new token creation events. Consider setting up a cron job or a scheduled task to execute the script at regular intervals.

node index.js

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following:

   anchor init counter

This command creates a new directory named counter with the basic project structure.
