Requires installing the Solana Tool Suite and Anchor framework and running a local test validator.
Penguinwallet is a small starter project set up around the Solana blockchain, built with the Anchor framework. The README does not describe a wallet feature or explain what "penguinwallet" itself is meant to do. Instead it reads as a generic introduction to building on Solana, walking through the tools needed and the steps to get a basic Anchor project running. The listed tools are Node.js, the Solana Tool Suite command line tools, the Anchor framework for writing Solana programs, the Phantom wallet browser extension, and React for the frontend. The project is organized into four folders. The app folder holds frontend code, the programs folder holds the Rust code for the on chain Solana program, the test folder holds JavaScript tests for that program, and the migrations folder holds a basic deploy script. The build instructions describe cloning the repository, installing dependencies with npm, and starting a local Solana test validator. From there, the Anchor project is built and its program ID is fetched from the generated keypair file. That ID then has to be manually copied into the Rust source file for the program before running the Anchor test suite. After the tests pass, the README says to move into the app folder, install its dependencies separately, and run the client side app with npm start. Because the README is so short and only covers generic setup steps, it is not possible to say what specific functionality this project has beyond scaffolding for a Solana and Anchor program with a React frontend. There is no description of what the on chain program actually does, no mention of a license, and no usage examples beyond getting the boilerplate running. Anyone using this repository should treat it as a bare starting point for Solana and Anchor development rather than a finished wallet application, and expect to write the actual program logic themselves.
A generic Solana and Anchor framework starter project with a Rust on chain program folder and a React frontend, used to learn the basic build and test workflow.
Mainly JavaScript. The stack also includes Node.js, Solana, Anchor.
Setup difficulty is rated moderate, with roughly 30min to a first successful run.
Mainly developer.
