Develop Solana applications end-to-end using TypeScript
Better Sol lets you write Solana programs entirely in TypeScript with zero boilerplate. One file defines your program and automatically becomes a fully typed client, so there's no IDL, no code generation, and nothing to keep in sync. Deploy with a single command, get autocomplete for every instruction and account field, built-in token operations, and composable transactions out of the box. No language switching, no manual codec, no local toolchain setup.
Hey everyone! 👋
We built Better Sol because we were tired of the constant context switching when building on Solana. Write a program, generate an IDL, build a client, keep them in sync, repeat every time something changes. It felt wrong.
So we made it so you only write TypeScript. One file defines your program, and that same file gives you a fully typed client with autocomplete, account fetching, token operations, and composable transactions. No IDL, no codegen, no sync headaches.
We're still early and would love your feedback. If you build on Solana, try it out and let us know what hurts. We're here all day to answer questions.
Happy to chat about anything — DX, architecture decisions, what's coming next, or just Solana in general. 🚀
