Solana Stream SDK

Solana Stream SDK
The Geyser adapter used in the starter code downloaded via the slv b init command
is provided by the open-source Solana Stream SDK.
It supports both Rust and TypeScript, enabling efficient implementation of Solana stream communication,
including Geyser subscriptions, transaction processing, and real-time account update monitoring.
The starter code you obtain is a direct example of this SDK in action,
making it easy to extend for your own bot development or custom logic.
