Introducing the Solana Community to thirdweb

Introducing Solana to thirdweb: SDKs, Programs, & Developer Tools

For all of you that have wondered: wen Solana?

Ask and you shall receive: Solana is now live on thirdweb!!!

We created thirdweb with the mission of enabling everyone to build on web3. Today, we're releasing our full-stack development kit for builders to deploy programs & build web3 apps on Solana — faster, more securely, and for free.

Solana development is known to have a steep learning curve, increasing the barrier to entry and stunning innovation in the web3 ecosystem. But not anymore: with thirdweb, you can now deploy your contracts, use our SDKs to connect build your apps, and manage your projects — all within thirdweb’s tools.

Today, we're excited to launch with:

• Our NFT Collection, NFT Drop, and Token programs — ready to deploy (& with more to come)

• SDKs that let you interact with any Solana "program" (or smart contract)

• Dashboards to view and manage all of your web3 apps built on Solana

So how do you use thirdweb to build on Solana? The best way to learn is to get started — click below to check out our Dashboard, Docs, and Quick-Start guides to deploy your first Solana program! You can also dig into all the details in our Blog post.
