#### Surfpool is the best place to train before surfing Solana

**TL;DR**

`surfpool` is to solana what `anvil` is to ethereum: a blazing fast in-memory testnet that has the ability to point-fork Solana mainnet instantly.

**Design**

`surfpool` uses the low level `solana-svm` API through the excellent LiteSVM wrapper: <https://github.com/LiteSVM/litesvm>.
This approach provides greater flexibility and significantly faster boot times.

`surfpool` is also available as a library on crates.io - facilitating its integration in other projects.
