Arete is an agent-first toolkit for building on Solana. You describe what you want to know or build. A coding agent finds matching on-chain programs and hosted live views, checks real data, and installs typed SDKs into the project.

This website, docs.arete.run, is the documentation and developer surface for that toolkit. It is not a consumer app and it is not a generic Solana RPC. The marketing homepage lives at arete.run.

What Arete is for

Section titled “What Arete is for”
  • Discover programs and stacks from a product question, without guessing program IDs, account layouts, or endpoints.
  • Explore live views through MCP or a4 stream.
  • Generate TypeScript, React, Rust, or Python clients bound to an exact catalog descriptor.
  • Read typed program accounts and construct instructions through generated SDKs. Signing and submission stay under user authority.
  • Author a custom stack in the Rust DSL only when the catalog does not already expose the required read model.

Who maintains it

Section titled “Who maintains it”
