Summary

Updated the README to provide clearer positioning of the repository, add a "Getting started" section with setup instructions, and enhance the "Financial Software" section with better context about the programs included.

Key Changes

  • Simplified title: Changed from "Quicknode Solana Program Examples" to "Solana Program Examples" with maintained Quicknode attribution in the description
  • Improved description: Rewrote the opening paragraph to be more concise and highlight that examples are working, tested, and up-to-date
  • Added capability overview: New line describing what can be built with these examples (escrow, AMM swaps, order-book exchanges, etc.)
  • New "Getting started" section: Added clear instructions for:
    • Required tools (Rust, Solana CLI, Anchor, pnpm)
    • Quick start command (pnpm test)
    • Deployment guidance with Quicknode endpoint setup
  • Enhanced "Financial Software" section: Added introductory paragraph explaining the core DeFi primitives implemented and their real-world usage in protocols like Raydium, Orca, and Openbook

Notable Details

These changes improve the onboarding experience for new developers by providing clear prerequisites, setup steps, and context about what financial primitives are being taught through the examples.

hand-maintained and is overwritten on regeneration, so exclude any
