Feature	Better Sol
STOA Rating	6.0
Description	Better Sol lets you write Solana blockchain programs entirely in TypeScript — no Rust toolchain required. You define your program once, and Better Sol generates the on-chain program, a fully typed client, and a database schema from that single file. You can deploy to Solana with one command, and your bundle stays small at 41 KB.
Strengths	•Removes the Rust learning curve entirely for Solana developers •Single source of truth: one file generates program, client, and DB schema •Very small browser bundle (41 KB) with full type inference
Weaknesses	•Pricing not disclosed — unclear if free or paid •Solana-only, so useless outside that blockchain ecosystem •New project with limited community traction so far
Key Features	•Write Solana programs in one TypeScript file — no Rust install needed •One deploy command puts your program on-chain and auto-generates a typed client •Built-in support for SPL Token, Token-2022, wallet adapters, and PDA derivation •Generates ORM-ready database schemas for indexing and app backends •41 KB browser bundle — zero compiler code shipped to users
Pricing	Contact for pricing
Best For	All industries
AI Features	None
Categories	Build & Connect
STOA Verdict	Better Sol is a strong developer experience pick for teams building on Solana who want to stay in TypeScript. The no-Rust pitch is genuinely useful and the single-file architecture is elegant. The main catch is that it's brand new with no visible pricing or production track record yet.
