Open Sourcing Star Frame: Next Generation Solana Program | Star Atlas | Star Atlas | August 2025

By Crypto Gloom On Sep 1, 2025

When we set up the largest space MMO encryption game, we had to solve the challenges of several teams in STAR Atlas. STAR Frame came during that journey. Today we open sourcing to all Solana developers with tools to overcome the technical limitations that accompany complex programs.

Solana has supported us from the beginning, and Star Atlas is not the same as today. The open sourcing star frame is our way to give up so that other developers of Solana can go faster.

What is a star frame?

STAR Frame is a new framework for creating a complex, safe and expandable Solana program.

The Star Frame is designed to overcome the technical obstacles that made it difficult to develop a historically complex solar or program. Flexible and characteristic -based architecture, dynamic account support, and AccountSet Lifecycle provides a tool to unlock new possibilities throughout the Solana ecosystem to build more confidently and safe applications.

The importance of the star frame

STAR Frame is a modular characteristic -based framework that provides unmatched flexibility, performance and safety for Solana developers to build complex programs. By utilizing the Rust’s characteristic system, it provides a customable component that can adapt to all youth cases. Through this architecture, developers can go beyond the existing limits and fully use Solana’s high -performance runtime.

Star Frame Design Principle

Star frames are based on three key principles.

Modularity: Characteristic -based design with practical basic implementation allows developers to freely connect or repay components, making them more flexible for a wide range of use.
Performance: Almost zero cost abstraction and zero copy data structure keeps the computing overhead so that developers can concentrate more resources to their business logic.
safety: Compilation time validation can reduce runtime errors, improve the security of mission critical logic, tighten the development loop to further develop repetition and program development.

The main components of the star frame

Unidentified type system: Dynamic zero copy data structures, such as Resizedable Lists, MAPS and SET, allows developers to build an application that runs with almost primitive memory efficiency. In fact, this means that it can handle everything at a minimum overhead with a minimum overhead, from the large -scale player inventory in the game to the complex order of Defi.
Account set life cycle: The built -in steps (decode, validate, cleanup) bring speculation from the account validation. Often overlooked important details, we have confidence that the program is safe by the design by ensuring security, accuracy and reliability.
Characteristic Base Abstract: In the core, Star Frame offers a flexible toolbox with a reusable operation. Developers use or expand their defaults to expand their innovation without sacrificing safety or performance, allowing them to expand their innovation.

Star Frame Benchmark

In the Star Frame (bench.so), we rebuilt the anchor’s bench program and executed the benchmark to check the operation. The anchor has opened a way for the development of Solana, and our results show how Star Frame builds the foundation, providing additional flexibility and efficiency for complex programs.
