+# Solana SDK
+
+Use the Solana SDK Crate to write client side applications in Rust.  If writing on-chain programs, use the [Solana Program Crate](https://crates.io/crates/solana-program) instead.
+
+More information about Solana is available in the [Solana documentation](https://docs.solana.com/).
+
+The [Solana Program Library](https://github.com/solana-labs/solana-program-library) provides examples of how to use this crate.
