robust Solana Token Staking smart contract built with Anchor

A robust Solana Token Staking smart contract built with Anchor. Users can stake SPL tokens to earn proportional rewards over time. Features admin configuration, reward deposits, claim-only & unstake options, two-step authority transfer, and pause functionality. Includes a full TypeScript CLI for easy interaction and testing.

I open-sourced solana-token-staking-smart-contract for developers in Solana / Anchor smart contract development. This post walks through what it does, how the pieces fit together, and how to run it locally.

Why I built this

• Explore solana token staking smart contract patterns in solana / anchor smart contract development
• Fork the repo as a starter template for your own project
• Contribute features, docs, or tests via pull requests

Most tutorials stop at a smart contract or a UI mockup. I wanted a complete vertical slice — wallet flow, on-chain logic, backend state, and a responsive frontend — so you can study or fork a production-shaped codebase.

What it does

• Initialize / configure program – Admin sets token mint, claim period, reward multiplier, and other parameters.
• Deposit funds – Admin deposits reward tokens into the program vault.
• Stake tokens – Users stake SPL tokens and start earning rew
• A robust Solana Token Staking smart contract built with Anchor
• Users can stake SPL tokens to earn proportional rewards over time
• Features admin configuration, reward deposits, claim-only & unstake options, two-step authority transfer, and pause functionality
• Lets users stake tokens, unstake (withdraw principal + rewards), or claim rewards only.
• Distributes rewards proportionally by share of total staked amount over configurable time periods.

Architecture at a glance

• On-chain program — Anchor/Rust logic for escrow, rooms, and settlement
• Application layer — TypeScript backend/frontend tying on-chain and off-chain flows
• Feature — Initialize / configure program – Admin sets token mint, claim period, reward multiplier, and other parameters.
• Feature — Deposit funds – Admin deposits reward tokens into the program vault.
• Feature — Stake tokens – Users stake SPL tokens and start earning rew

User Wallet  →  On-chain Program  →  VRF / Settlement
                    ↓
              Backend (API + WebSockets)  →  MongoDB / state
                    ↓
                 Frontend UI (real-time)

Quick start

git clone https://github.com/DexCrancer/solana-token-staking-smart-contract.git
cd solana-token-staking-smart-contract

Setup steps:

1. Install dependencies (see README — typically npm install or yarn)
2. Copy .env.example to .env and fill in RPC, wallet, and API keys
3. Run local validator or point to devnet/mainnet as documented
4. Start the backend and frontend; connect wallet and create a test room

See the full README for environment variables, deploy scripts, and test commands: https://github.com/DexCrancer/solana-token-staking-smart-contract

What to explore in the repo

• Program / contract entrypoints and account models
• API routes and WebSocket event handlers
• Frontend wallet adapter and game room components
• Tests, scripts, and deployment configs
