Solana

Solana is a high-performance blockchain platform designed for fast, secure, and scalable decentralized applications and marketplaces. It exposes a JSON-RPC 2.0 API over HTTP and WebSocket for querying accounts, transactions, programs, token balances, blocks, and cluster state, as well as submitting and simulating transactions. Three public clusters are available — Mainnet, Devnet, and Testnet — with dedicated API nodes for each environment.

agent native

Reference-quality API operations across every facet — a rich contract, published governance, transparent operations, and machine-readable commercial terms.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Solana the way a machine reads it — 54 machine-readable artifacts across 12 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Solana scores 72.5/100 (exemplar), with a separate agent-readiness read of 78/100 (agent native). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Solana

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Solana. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 12

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Arazzo Workflows 17

Real integrations are rarely a single call. Arazzo describes the multi-step sequences — auth, then create, then confirm — so both a human and an agent can follow the choreography, not just the endpoints.

Multi-step API workflows described with the Arazzo specification.

Solana Check Whether an Account Is Rent Exempt

Read an account's size and lamports, then look up the rent-exempt minimum for that size.

ARAZZO

Solana Page an Address's Transaction History

List an address's recent transaction signatures and expand the newest one into full detail.

ARAZZO

Solana Inspect a Confirmed Block at the Current Slot

Resolve the current slot, fetch its block, and read the block's timestamp and commitment.

ARAZZO

Solana Run a Cluster Health and Readiness Check

Probe an RPC node's health, version, current slot, epoch position, and block height.

ARAZZO

Solana Request a Devnet Airdrop and Confirm Funding

Check node health, record a balance, request an airdrop, confirm it, and verify the balance moved.

ARAZZO

Solana Estimate Transaction Fees and Priority Fees

Fetch a blockhash, price a message, sample recent priority fees, and re-check blockhash validity.

ARAZZO

Solana Resolve the Current Epoch's Leader Schedule

Read epoch position and schedule, fetch the leader schedule, and identify the current and upcoming leaders.

ARAZZO

Solana Discover the Available Ledger Range and Backfill Blocks

Find the node's earliest available block and minimum retained slot, then walk a page of blocks.

ARAZZO

Solana Sample Network Performance and Block Production

Pull recent performance samples, the running transaction count, block production, and the node list.

ARAZZO

Solana Snapshot Network Supply and Staking Economics

Read total and circulating supply, profile the largest accounts, and read inflation and staking floors.

ARAZZO

Solana Identify a Node and Its Cluster and Snapshot State

Read a node's identity, genesis hash, version, snapshot slots, and shred-processing high-water marks.

ARAZZO

Solana Scan a Program's Owned Accounts

Verify an address is an executable program, list the accounts it owns, and batch-read the first of them.

ARAZZO

Solana Submit a Transaction and Confirm It

Fetch a blockhash, simulate a signed transaction, send it, poll to finality, and read it back.

MCP Servers 1

Model Context Protocol servers expose these APIs directly to AI agents. We profile them because agent-native access is the fastest-growing way this provider's capabilities actually get used.

Rate Limits 1

Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.

FinOps 1

Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.

Semantic Vocabularies 1

JSON-LD contexts give the data shared meaning across APIs. We profile them because semantics are what let a machine reconcile 'customer' here with 'customer' somewhere else.

Security Posture 2

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
