Pina

Pina is a high-performance Solana smart-contract framework built on top of pinocchio. The project focuses on low compute-unit usage, small dependency surface area, and strong account validation ergonomics for on-chain Rust programs.

This book is the single place for project documentation. It complements API reference docs by describing architecture, patterns, workflows, and quality standards used across the repository.
