Dapp: devnet deploy pending
⏳ Devnet deploy pending — goes live when the devnet wallet is topped up. This fork's own dapp is not deployed yet, so there is no program address or transaction to show. It is queued in dapp-queue.txt; once devnet SOL is available it is deployed, exercised with real devnet transactions, and this section switches to the live dapp at /dapps/zoneless/. Until then, the lesson and step-by-step guide below are complete, and you can run it locally with the commands below.
Key code, explained
Excerpts chosen automatically where the code uses the most Solana concepts, pinned to the fork's commit.

How to run, build and test
These commands come from the repo's own manifests (package.json scripts, Anchor.toml, Cargo, go.mod, Makefile). Check the README for prerequisites and environment variables.
| Directory | Command | Runs |
|---|---|---|
. | npm run dev | docker compose up mongodb mongo-express -d && nx run-many -t serve -p api web --output-style=stream |
. | npm run test | npx nx run-many --target=test --all |
. | npm run lint | npx nx run-many --target=lint --all |
What you could build from it
- Fork the SuperStack copy and extend it within the DeFi gaps listed on the idea page.
- Learn the pattern first: Program Derived Addresses (PDAs)
- Learn the pattern first: Cross-Program Invocations (CPIs)
- Learn the pattern first: SPL Tokens: mints, accounts and transfers
