Solana Support in React Native
Using Para with Solana Web3.js and Anchor in React Native applications
Para’s React Native SDK provides comprehensive support for Solana blockchain operations through libraries like Solana Web3.js and Anchor. After authenticating users with native passkeys in your React Native or Expo application, all Solana-related operations work exactly the same as in our web SDKs.
Implementation and References
Once authentication is complete with the Para React Native SDK using native passkeys, you can immediately sign Solana transactions and messages, interact with Solana programs, connect to different Solana networks (mainnet, devnet, testnet), and leverage Solana Pay and other ecosystem tools. Both Solana Web3.js and Anchor framework work seamlessly with Para’s React Native SDK, functioning identically to their web implementations.
Key Considerations for Mobile
When implementing Solana functionality in React Native applications:
- Ensure proper initialization of the Para SDK with your project ID
- Complete authentication with native passkeys before attempting any signing operations
- Design mobile-friendly UI for transaction approval flows
- Test transaction signing on actual devices to verify the end-to-end experience
The underlying code for Solana transaction construction and signing remains identical between web and mobile implementations, making it easy to maintain consistency across platforms.
