Anchor is a framework for Solana's [Sealevel](https://medium.com/solana-labs/sealevel-parallel-processing-thousands-of-smart-contracts-d814b378192) runtime providing several convenient developer tools.
- Rust eDSL for writing Solana programs
- [IDL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interface_description_language) specification
- TypeScript package for generating clients from IDL
- CLI and workspace management for developing complete applications
If you're familiar with developing in Ethereum's [Solidity](https://docs.soliditylang.org/en/v0.7.4/), [Truffle](https://www.trufflesuite.com/), [web3.js](https://github.com/ethereum/web3.js) or Parity's [Ink!](https://github.com/paritytech/ink), then the experience will be familiar. Although the DSL syntax and semantics are targeted at Solana, the high level flow of writing RPC request handlers, emitting an IDL, and generating clients from IDL is the same.
## Getting Started
For a quickstart guide and in depth tutorials, see the guided [documentation](https://project-serum.github.io/anchor/getting-started/introduction.html).

## Examples
Build stateful programs on Solana by defining a state struct with associated
methods. Here's a classic counter example, where only the designated `authority`
can increment the count.
```rust
#[program]
mod counter {
#[state]
pub struct Counter {
authority: Pubkey,
count: u64,
}
pub fn new(ctx: Context<Auth>) -> Result<Self> {
Ok(Self {
auth: *ctx.accounts.authority.key
})
}
pub fn increment(&mut self, ctx: Context<Auth>) -> Result<()> {
if &self.authority != ctx.accounts.authority.key {
return Err(ErrorCode::Unauthorized.into());
}
self.count += 1;
Ok(())
}
}
#[derive(Accounts)]
pub struct Auth<'info> {
#[account(signer)]
authority: AccountInfo<'info>,
}
#[error]
pub enum ErrorCode {
#[msg("You are not authorized to perform this action.")]
Unauthorized,
}
```
Additionally, one can utilize the full power of Solana's parallel execution model by
keeping the program stateless and working with accounts directly. The above example
can be rewritten as follows.
```rust
use anchor::prelude::*;
#[program]
mod counter {
use super::*;
pub fn initialize(ctx: Context<Initialize>, authority: Pubkey) -> Result<()> {
let counter = &mut ctx.accounts.counter;
counter.authority = authority;
counter.count = 0;
Ok(())
}
pub fn increment(ctx: Context<Increment>) -> Result<()> {
let counter = &mut ctx.accounts.counter;
counter += 1;
Ok(())
}
}
#[derive(Accounts)]
pub struct Initialize<'info> {
#[account(init)]
pub counter: ProgramAccount<'info, Counter>,
pub rent: Sysvar<'info, Rent>,
}
#[derive(Accounts)]
pub struct Increment<'info> {
#[account(mut, has_one = authority)]
pub counter: ProgramAccount<'info, Counter>,
#[account(signer)]
pub authority: AccountInfo<'info>,
}
#[account]
pub struct Counter {
pub authority: Pubkey,
pub count: u64,
}
#[error]
pub enum ErrorCode {
#[msg("You are not authorized to perform this action.")]
Unauthorized,
}
```
Due to the fact that account sizes on Solana are fixed, some combination of
the above is often required. For example, one can store store global state
associated with the entire program in the `#[state]` struct and local
state assocated with each user in individual `#[account]` structs.
