The OrbitFlare SDK, a single Rust crate, simplifies building Solana apps by consolidating multiple SDKs. Previously, developers needed separate SDKs for functions like JSON-RPC, which handles get_balance and get_transaction. This update streamlines Solana development, making it more efficient for Rust-based projects. The SDK aims to reduce complexity and improve developer experience on the Solana blockchain.
