Solana

Tools & Resources

This is a list of tools & resources that I've gathered from the Colosseum newsletter.

Solana Agent Kit is an open-source toolkit for connecting AI agents to Solana protocols to trade and launch tokens, send compressed airdrops, execute blinks, and more.

Solana Summarizer is a Python script that crawls top Solana blogs, docs, and GitHub repos to produce a flat file that could be used to create a Solana-smart LLM.

lut.rs is an Anchor interface for address lookup tables.

Azura, Azura app, Thunder Terminal app

PSA for all AI hackers this weekend:

We curated a shortlist of zk compression resources

to create Solana tokens and data at near-zero cost

Your AI Agents will like this:
