🚧 WIP: This tool is in active development, and can experience breaking changes. For safety, it currently operates on Devnet by default

Flare is the Command Line Interface for developers on Solana. Below is a breakdown of the various commands included within Flare. If you run into any issues while operating Flare, please open an issue on this repo or contact a contributor from Anthias Labs here.

5. Run the compiled binary with ./flare

flare send: allows sending SOL to an account

flare balance: checks SOL balance for a given address

flare epoch: get the current epoch number

• Reading wallet SOL balance from chain
• Reading epoch/block height
• Sending SOL transactions between accounts
• Creating wallets and recovering from mnemonic
• Signing arbitrary messages
• Adding CLI options for handling different cluster RPCs
• Calling methods and reading state from on-chain programs
