Anchor

Anchor's Rust embedded domain-specific language simplifies writing secure Solana programs by reducing boilerplate, as shown in the counter program example with structured account handling.

The IDL specification enables automatic TypeScript client generation, streamlining frontend integration and ensuring type safety, highlighted in the @anchor-lang/core package features.

The CLI provides workspace management for building, testing, and deploying, offering a batteries-included experience similar to Ethereum's Truffle, as noted in the CLI description.

Anchor enforces account validation and provides CPI clients for SPL programs, helping prevent common vulnerabilities, exemplified in the counter program's authority checks.
