Quickstart
For a new Solana project, ask the user what they're building:
- Token swap/trading →
jupiter(best aggregator) or protocol-specific (orca,raydium,meteora) - Token launch →
pumpfun(memecoin) ormeteora(structured launch) - Lending/yield →
kamino(full-featured) orlulo(yield aggregator) - NFT project →
metaplex - Infrastructure/RPC →
helius - Full dApp development →
