SolanaForge is a browser-based AI-powered IDE designed for building, testing, deploying, and managing full-stack Solana applications. The platform leverages multiple LLMs (OpenAI GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok) to generate, maintain, and deploy smart contracts, backends, and frontends — delivering a seamless and integrated Web3 development experience.
- AI-driven generation of Solana smart contracts, backend APIs, and frontend apps from natural language prompts.
- Seamless one-click deployment to Solana (smart contracts), Vercel (frontend), and DigitalOcean (backend).
- Enable live syncing and communication between deployed stack components.
- Deep integration with third-party services: GitHub, Vercel, DigitalOcean, databases, domain/DNS providers.
- AI-powered debugging, auditing, migration, and code review tooling.
- Collaborative multi-user development environment.
- Secure wallet integration and on-chain interaction support.
- Extendable via plugins and template marketplace.
- Ada – Intermediate developer new to Solana who needs AI guidance to build apps faster.
- Leo – Experienced blockchain dev wanting full-stack AI assistance and cloud integration.
- Tina – Non-technical startup founder wanting to prototype Solana dApps with minimal coding.
- Dev Team – Collaborative teams managing complex apps and deployment pipelines.
As a user, I want the AI to generate my smart contract, backend, and frontend code from a plain-language prompt.
- Generates Anchor-based Solana contract, Node.js backend, React/Vue frontend with wallet integration.
- AI asks clarifying questions before generating.
- Outputs a fully working scaffold with inline explanations.
- Supports incremental edits and re-generation.
- Deploys contract to devnet/mainnet and wires frontend/backend.
As a user, I want AI to detect bugs or security flaws in my smart contracts or backend and suggest fixes.
- Syntax, logic, and Solana-specific bug detection.
- Inline fix suggestions and automated patching.
- Security and gas usage audits with detailed reports.
- Integration with CI to auto-check future commits.
As a user, I want a pre-deployment audit for security risks and efficiency issues.
- Detects reentrancy, overflow, missing checks, unbounded loops.
- Confidence scores and detailed reasoning.
- Exportable PDF audit reports for stakeholders.
As a user, I want to migrate smart contract state or backend databases safely and without downtime.
- Detects source/destination schema differences.
- Generates and executes transformation scripts.
- Data verification and rollback support.
As a user, I want to connect my GitHub, Vercel, DigitalOcean, and database accounts for streamlined workflows.
- GitHub: repo sync, PRs, CI/CD trigger.
- Vercel: frontend hosting and auto-deploy.
- DigitalOcean: backend hosting (Droplets/Containers).
- Databases: PostgreSQL (Supabase/Neon), Redis integration.
- OAuth/API key based authentication.
- Deployment logs and real-time status.
As a user, I want an AI assistant embedded in the IDE to answer questions, generate snippets, explain code, and provide documentation links.
- Up-to-date Solana documentation retrieval (embedding + web search).
- Interactive Q&A with code generation.
- Context-aware explanations and walkthroughs.
As a user, I want the deployed frontend, backend, and smart contracts to automatically communicate and update based on live deployments.
- Auto-generated API endpoints and SDKs/hooks.
- Secure wallet and RPC integrations.
- Live contract addresses passed dynamically.
- Frontend-backend communication via REST/gRPC.
As a team lead, I want to invite collaborators, assign roles, and manage project permissions.
- Role-based access control (admin, editor, viewer).
- Real-time collaborative editing.
- Activity logs and audit trails.
As a user, I want to configure custom domains and DNS settings easily for my frontend and backend services.
- Domain linking UI.
- Automated DNS record setup (A, CNAME, TXT).
- SSL certificate provisioning.
As a user, I want access to community-built templates and plugins to extend SolanaForge capabilities.
- Templates: NFT minters, DAOs, token sales, marketplaces.
- Plugins: Additional toolchains, blockchain support, dev tools.
- Submission and rating system.
