🛟 SolMate — Solana in plain English

A friendly AI agent that reads any Solana wallet address or transaction signature and explains what happened in simple, everyday language.

Live demo: https://solmate-hazel.vercel.app

Built by Oluwasogo Ajala (Rising Technology) for the Superteam Agentic Engineering grant.

How it works

1. You paste a wallet or transaction.
2. SolMate fetches the real data from the Solana blockchain (public mainnet).
3. An AI (Google Gemini's free tier by default) explains it in plain English.

Your AI API key stays on the server — it is never sent to the browser.

Run it on your computer

1. Install Node.js (version 20 or newer).
2. Copy .env.example to .env and paste your free Gemini API key into it.
   • Get one free (no credit card) at https://aistudio.google.com/apikey.
3. In this folder, run:

   npm start
   

4. Open the link it prints: http://localhost:5173

Notes

• No build step, no extra packages — it's plain Node.js.
• The free public Solana RPC is used by default. For heavier use, put a Helius URL in .env as SOLANA_RPC.
