 _Solana program examples ('smart contracts') in Anchor 2, Anchor 1, Quasar, Pinocchio, native Rust, and sBPF assembly. Focused on financial software, plus the basics, tokens, Token Extensions, state compression, and more._
 
-Working, tested, up-to-date examples of common Solana programs (what other chains call smart contracts), maintained by [Quicknode](https://www.quicknode.com/chains/solana). Current as of September 2026 (see [CHANGELOG.md](./CHANGELOG.md)): every example builds and passes CI on **Anchor 2.0.0-rc.1**, the current multi-file program layout (one file per instruction handler, account type, etc), and [LiteSVM](https://github.com/LiteSVM/litesvm) tests rather than the older `solana-test-validator` / web3.js stack. Every Anchor example also keeps its last **Anchor 1.1.2** version in a sibling `anchor-v1/` directory, built and tested by its own CI job, for programs staying on the Anchor v1 LTS line.

 Each example is available in one or more of the following frameworks:
 
 - [⚓ Anchor v2](https://www.anchor-lang.com/) - the most popular framework for Solana development, in its current major version. Lives in `anchor/`. Install with `cargo install anchor-cli --version 2.0.0-rc.1 --locked`, build with `anchor build`, test with `anchor test`.
-- [⚓ Anchor v1](https://www.anchor-lang.com/) - the previous major version, on long-term support and still what many deployed programs use. Lives in `anchor-v1/`, alongside the v2 copy of the same example. Install with `avm install 1.1.2 && avm use 1.1.2`, then the same `anchor build` / `anchor test`.
+- [⚓ Anchor v1](https://www.anchor-lang.com/) - the previous major version, on long-term support and still what many deployed programs use. Lives in `anchor-v1/`, alongside the v2 copy of the same example. Install with `avm install 1.2.0 && avm use 1.2.0`, then the same `anchor build` / `anchor test`.
 - [💫 Quasar](https://quasar-lang.com/docs) - a newer, more performant framework with Anchor-compatible ergonomics. Build with `quasar build`, test with `quasar test`.
 - [🤥 Pinocchio](https://github.com/anza-xyz/pinocchio) - a zero-copy, zero-allocation library for Solana programs. Build with `cargo build-sbf --manifest-path=./program/Cargo.toml`, test with `cargo test --manifest-path=./program/Cargo.toml`.
 - [🦀 Native Rust](https://docs.anza.xyz/) - vanilla Rust using Solana's native crates. Build with `cargo build-sbf --manifest-path=./program/Cargo.toml`, test with `cargo test --manifest-path=./program/Cargo.toml`.
