Seahorse is a Framework that is used to write Solana smart contracts.

Thanks to amelia Chen, Seahorse Creator.

Previously We Write Solana Smart Contracts using Rust and Anchor Framework. The syntax is very hard to remember, make very difficult to write different programs. The people are very at ease with the python programming language. After java, c,c++, and python became more powerful and becomes more in the way people engaged with them. So to Encourage New people to write Solana smart Contracts using Seahorse.

It's a new type of Writing smart Contracts. It helps the Solana ecosystem to grow with more Solana Developers. some people get confused with the safety of rusts with python language.

we all know Rust is Famous for ownership, mutability, and memory management features.

using Seahorse we can assure these all features with Python.

They are implemented by Deriving from Anchor program to Python.

if you want to read the documentation, you can go below link

seahorse-lang.org

Before you install Seahorse, you guys should install Solana, Rust, and Anchor.

Then you can Install Seahorse.

Command for installing Seahorse Language.

cargo install seahorse-lang

you can check the Seahorse version

seahorse -v

how to start Seahorse Project on your local machine.

seahorse init <project-name>

above line makes you init the seahorse project.

seahorse build

above command builds the seahorse program, and it converts into anchor-compatible code.

using that anchor code.

anchor deploy

you can deploy your anchor program, it will generate the program id, and replace it in the anchor file and anchor.toml file.

then you can write anchor tests.

anchor test

you can see no tests are passing after running the anchor test.

This is the process of running the Seahorse Program on your local Machine.

If you are a beginner, you don't want to install anything on your machine,

you just want an idle for you to Deploy your Seahorse Smart Contracts.

Then I recommend for you guys go for Solana PlayGround.

beta.solpg.io

you can go there can see how easy to implement seahorse Smart Contracts.

you can see my GitHub Reop for Seahorse Basic Programs:-

check my Repo Guys, For the Future Seahorse Programs.

Thank you Guys, for Reading My Blog.

See you.
