This project reimplements the Delegation Program from the Ephemeral Rollups SDK using the Pinocchio framework on Solana. Instead of integrating it as part of the SDK, this standalone version is designed for educational clarity and transparency.
The goal is to break down and understand the core mechanics of rollup delegation on Solana while showcasing how such systems can be built from scratch using lower-level primitives.
Ephemeral Rollups are designed to scale Solana applications using off-chain execution secured by on-chain proofs and delegation mechanisms.
The original implementation by MagicBlock Labs uses the solana-program SDK. This project ports that logic to Pinocchio to expose the underlying mechanics without relying on macro-based abstractions.
- To learn and teach how delegation systems work under the hood
- To provide a Pinocchio-powered alternative for advanced Solana developers
- To serve as a reference repo for building rollup-compatible smart contracts without SDK constraints
- Register and manage delegators and delegates
- Validate authorized delegation instructions
- Reproduce the core logic of MagicBlock's Delegation program
- Built entirely with Pinocchio (no Anchor or macros)
- Rust (latest stable)
- Solana CLI
- Pinocchio (
cargo add pinocchio) - Mollusk (

🔗 Ephemeral Rollups SDK – Delegation Program (MagicBlock Labs)
If you're interested in the full rollup architecture and proof system, check out that SDK directly. This repo isolates only the delegation logic.
Solana – Blockchain runtime
Pinocchio – Low-level framework for Solana smart contracts
TypeScript – For testing with Anchor's Mocha suite
Rust – On-chain logic implementation
