solana-labs/solana-program-library
A collection of Solana programs maintained by Solana Labs
This is the original Solana Program Library monorepo, which served as the canonical source for on-chain programs like SPL Token, Token-2022, stake-pool, and governance. It's now largely a tombstone — most programs have migrated to individual repos under the solana-program GitHub org. Useful only as a historical reference or for programs that haven't migrated (account-compression, governance, name-service, token-lending, token-swap).
- Several audited programs remain here or are linked from here, with public audit PDFs attached — the audit trail is unusually transparent for a blockchain project
- Account-compression (concurrent Merkle tree) implementation is non-trivial and still lives here with a working TypeScript SDK, making it the go-to reference for compressed NFT infrastructure
- The governance program with its voter-weight addin API is a reasonably complete DAO primitive that hasn't been superseded by an obvious alternative
- Per-program CI workflows and the per-tag release process mean you can trace exactly which commit a deployed mainnet program corresponds to
- The repo is effectively archived — the README leads with 'this repo no longer contains the SPL program implementations', so anyone cloning it expecting active development will be confused
- Programs like token-lending, token-swap, binary-option, and stateless-asks are explicitly unaudited and unmaintained; they're potential footguns if someone forks them for production use
- Governance was handed off to a third party (Mythic-Project) with no explanation of maintenance guarantees, making it risky to build on without independently tracking that fork
- The scattered migration — some programs moved to solana-program org, governance moved to a community fork, others stayed here — means there's no single place to get the full picture, and dependency resolution across the split repos can be painful
