Solana Address Lookup Table (ALT) Example

This is a simple example of how to implement an Address Lookup Table (ALT) in a Solana-based project. An ALT allows you to efficiently manage and retrieve data associated with Solana public keys.

Overview

In this code, we demonstrate how to:

1. Create a Solana connection to a specified cluster (e.g., Devnet).
2. Implement an ALT (lookup table) to associate Solana public keys with data.
3. Add an address and data to the ALT.
4. Create a simulated Solana transaction, signing it with an account.
5. Send the transaction to the Solana network.
6. Retrieve data using the address from the ALT.

Prerequisites

• Node.js and npm installed on your system.
• A Solana development environment set up.

Getting Started

1. Clone this repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/bigjoefilms/-Address-Lookup-Tables.git
Install the required dependencies:
bash

npm install
Configure your Solana cluster:
Modify the connection variable to point to your desired Solana cluster.

Run the code:
bash

npm start
This will execute the code and simulate a Solana transaction.

Customization
You can customize this code to suit your specific project needs:

Replace the simulated transaction data with your application-specific data.
Modify the Solana program ID to match your project's program ID.
Expand the ALT implementation to handle more complex data structures and use cases.
