3. Programs and Executable Data

Learn about Programs and Executable Data in the Solana ecosystem.

This topic covers Programs and Executable Data. Solana uses a unique architecture compared to the EVM. It is based on a high-performance, single-threaded execution model that leverages Proof of History.

rust
// Example Solana/Anchor snippet
#[account]
pub struct MyData {
    pub val: u64,
}

Solana's parallel execution allows for high throughput and low latency, but requires explicit account declarations.
