🧱Boilerplates & Starter Kits

Official templates, starter kits, and reference repos for shipping faster on Solana.

If you want to move quickly, start from a maintained template instead of building the first layer from scratch.

Best Starting Points

• Solana Developer Templates for the official template catalog

• create-solana-dapp for one-command project generation

• Web3.js React Vite Tailwind template for a general web app base

• LazorKit Starter if embedded wallets or smoother onboarding matter

• Pinocchio Counter template for a minimal native-program example

Reference Repositories

• Program Examples for runnable examples across common patterns

• Program Examples docs when you want the same material in docs form

How To Choose

• use a frontend template if you need a full product quickly

• use a native or Anchor example if the onchain logic is the main challenge

• use the most boring template that gets you shipping fast

For hackathons, optimizing for speed and clarity beats cleverness.
