Solana Workshop 3: Deploy a Trading Venue Component on Devnet

​Workshop 3 moves from agents to the venues they trade on. We read a real Solana order book, learn how spread, depth and order-flow imbalance are computed from it, and then deploy a small order book program on devnet and use it ourselves.

​The lead covers what belongs on-chain and why a sent transaction is not the same as a confirmed one. Five demos follow, on real data: a Phoenix SOL/USDC order book, matching step by step, nine devnet transactions replayed, a deposit watcher that ignores failed transactions, and order-flow imbalance from recorded Orca swaps. A 15-minute mini-lab has you compute a spread by hand, then in code.

​In the open build you pick a starter (deposit watcher, mini order book, Phoenix ladder reader or Orca whirlpool lab) and extend it. The headline is a deployed program address and transaction links on devnet, for a small component you can explain.

​Reads use public mainnet data. Every write is devnet only: you deploy a small component on devnet with test tokens, and the leads help you set up a devnet wallet in the session. No real funds, and never share a seed phrase. Beginners welcome; read-only starters need no devnet wallet.
