create-encrypted-solana-app

The fastest way to get started building encrypted Solana applications with Arcium.

Features

• Full-stack scaffolding: Creates both Anchor program and Next.js frontend
• Wallet integration: Pre-configured Solana wallet adapter
• TypeScript support: Full TypeScript setup for both program and frontend
• Arcium ready: Structured for encrypted/confidential computing integration
• Modern tooling: Tailwind CSS, ESLint, Prettier configured

Usage

pnpm create encrypted-solana-app

Or with npm (use @latest to ensure you get the newest version):

npm create encrypted-solana-app@latest

Interactive Setup

The CLI will prompt you for:

• Project name: Name of your project directory
• Program name: Name of your Solana program (snake_case)
• Framework: Program framework selection (Anchor only for now)
• RPC URL: Solana RPC endpoint (defaults to devnet)

Quick Start

After creating your project:

cd my-encrypted-app

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Build the program
anchor build

# Start local validator (in separate terminal)
solana-test-validator

# Deploy program
anchor deploy

# Run tests
anchor test --skip-local-validator

# Start frontend
npm run dev

Prerequisites

• Rust
• Solana CLI
• Anchor CLI
• Node.js 18+

Next Steps

1. Implement your program logic in programs/[program-name]/src/lib.rs
2. Connect the frontend by updating app/src/components/ProgramInteraction.tsx
3. Add Arcium integration for encrypted operations
4. Write tests for your program functionality
