Solana's Rust crates are
published to crates.io and can be found
on docs.rs with the solana-

The following are the most important and commonly used Rust crates for Solana development:
-
solana-program

, which cannot be imported from a Solana program. -
solana-sdk
— The basic offchain SDK, it re-exportssolana-program
and adds more APIs on top of that. Most Solana programs that do not run on-chain will import this. -
