The Solana App Kit is a new open-source SDK that aims to simplify the development of Web3 mobile applications. This will enable developers to more quickly build and deploy apps that interact with wallets. Moreover, they are able to build and sign Solana transactions while building with the blockchain using secure APIs. With its modular ecosystem and more than 19 protocol integrations, developers can build performant Solana apps in minutes.

The Solana App Kit supports both Android and iOS development from a single codebase, leveraging React Native as its foundation. This impressive cross-platform capability means developers can save time and money by only having to maintain one version of an app. The kit’s architecture mostly consists of JavaScript and React Native, but allows for Rust-based backend implementations for heavier features.

Having already facilitated more than 19 unique protocol integrations, the Solana App Kit is capable of supporting virtually every Web3 functionality you can imagine. Interoperability Interactivity In particular, as a part of these integrations, there’s nested support for NFTs, multiple wallets, payment solutions, and real-time DeFi data. Most importantly, it connects directly with other major Solana services such as Metaplex which allows for easier NFT creation and metadata display.

The kit includes a set of prebuilt modules that address core Web3 functions. These features include user profiles, token management and support for Solana Pay. This gives developers the freedom to solve the specific problems of their applications, instead of investing time building out the underlying infrastructure. In addition, the Solana App Kit offers validating transaction flows, secure wallet connections, and quick start user access to the Solana testnet.

With the Solana App Kit, developers can build narrow DeFi dashboards in no time. This allows anyone to quickly see the state of their staking rewards, swap prices, and DeFi positions at a glance. It serves Web3 mobile games by enabling wallet integration and NFT support for user ownership of in-game assets. Pre-built modules easily connect to essential Solana services. This enables Dev and Ops teams to focus on improving application functionality while freeing them from being mired in infrastructure challenges. Combined with its open-source nature, under the Apache 2.0 license that welcomes community contributions, its continued growth and development are exciting.
