🎉 Big day for Surfpool! Surfpool just made its way into the official Solana developer stack — right in the installation docs. We always built Surfpool to feel like the “dev mode” Solana deserved… and seeing it land in the canonical path for builders is surreal. Huge thanks to everyone who has tested, contributed, and pushed us forward - just way too many names 😂 Follow @surfpool_sol to stay up to date with our progress! 👉 solana.com/docs/intro/instal…

Ideally, you do most of your development locally using @surfpool_sol where all of these issues evaporate.

one of the big issues I ran into with my e2e sims at first was how long running they were. luckily with @surfpool_sol i can use cheat codes like time travel to scale them easier. its been a really amazing local development tool for me.

It's great to see the integration of additional security constraints. Kani proofs will certainly enhance the reliability of your system. Have you considered how these updates impact the overall performance and scalability of your simulations?

Workshop @solanaturbine was really good it was a deep dive into Surfpool and testing in Surfpool Yaaa , sometimes I felt a little lost, but it was very interesting and gave a deep understanding of the runbook / testing @surfpool_sol

full e2e with 32 passing tests for v3.4.0 using @surfpool_sol. sim it 🫰🫠 this is designed to test the entire token lifecycle, vault routing, etc. time travel is such a cool cheatcode

I'm excited to announce @beeman/testcontainers: Docker-based test containers for Solana development 🥳 Spin up solana-test-validator or @surfpool_sol in your tests with a single line of code. I'm thinking about adding on for Kora, what more should I add?

Surfpool launch week - day 2: Infrastructure as Code. Bash scripts. Hardcoded keypaths. Private keys in plaintext. Web3 DevSecOps are fundamentally hard, and broken. Runbooks are the perfect solution. surfpool.run/blog/infrastruc…

undeniably one of the best upgrades to my local solana dev workflow recently
Today we put a 1.0 on @surfpool_sol, a critical toolchain for @solana_devs @solana. Hundreds of stars from devs who get it. Here is the one CLI tool we wish existed 1 year ago, and launch week starts today. surfpool.run/blog/surfpool-1…

Run your bot like its on mainnet but with fake #Solana Swaps using @JupiterExchange API, @PythNetwork price feeds all locally using @surfpool_sol using scenario builder. Great way to test your trading strategies. youtube.com/watch?v=67eDzSvj…

PR #457 just got merged into @surfpool_sol Worked on fixing a critical edge case where Surfpool would stop producing blocks when a Solana program close error occurred, caused by disconnected channels in the RPC handler now the status channel always sends a response first, preventing the simnet from stalling . What I learned: • Deep dive into RpcSVM & process_transaction flow • Handling async channels and ensuring reliable status propagation • Debugging core simulator logic in Rust Recovery from “program close” errors so Surfpool keeps simulating blocks smoothly ... github.com/txtx/surfpool/pul… @solanaturbine @solana @SuperteamIN @superteam @jacobvcreech @micaiah_txtx

A single open source contribution can teach a lot ... i went through @surfpool_sol got to know bout crossbeam realized the knowledge gap and then studied about the async backends made few projects got resources from @solanaturbine dc and now feeling confident ... built a CLOB

GM @solana Devs! ✅Today I will finish episode 4. Focus on Solana transactions. ❌Many use the default 200k CU limit! ✅Better determine the compute units your Tx consumes 👉Minimum units === increasing the chance of your Tx being included Course here: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL…

One of my @solana 2026 goals is to create a full beginner to advanced series. I already started. First 3 videos available. youtube.com/@digitalbenjamin… We are going to cover all topics step by step following the #Solana Cookbook series and documentation. Using the latest like @surfpool_sol @anza_xyz Solana Kit

Why don’t you take the engine out of a Honda civic and put it in a Porsche 911?

Big fan of @surfpool_sol. Besides the great features its a great asset when explaining things and checking out #solana transactions. Will use this more and more in future videos!
What is #solana token-2022, and what are token extensions? Great video and hands-on examples! youtube.com/watch?v=QWUVoB1r…

We are on a roll! 4th PR to @surfpool_sol just done and dusted. Thanks to @ludo_txtx again for the super fast review and merge. This PR adds support for @orca_so Whirpools protocol scenarios and lets you override some key properties. Will be stopping the protocols here and focus on adding bytemuck deserialiation support next to ensure all the protocols work seamlessly. Onwards and upwards! 🔥🚀
Woo hoo! 3rd @surfpool_sol PR got merged, courtesy of @ludo_txtx ! Added the scenario for @MeteoraAG DLMM. @jkdotsol is an amazing guy and we discussed so much for these scenario PRs. Another one coming up soon😁. Link to the PR: github.com/txtx/surfpool/pul… @solanaturbine fam going strong!
