Solana offers high speed and throughput for building smart contracts, requiring developers to adapt their approach.
An overview of Solana's unique account-based and parallelizable execution model, emphasizing the importance of avoiding account contention.
Key tools like Rust, Anchor framework, and Solana CLI/Test Validator are essential for writing efficient smart contracts on Solana.
Performance tips include minimizing CPI calls, managing compute units wisely, optimizing account reads/writes, pre-allocating accounts, and using Borsh efficiently.
