This is a Real Estate Investment Trusts Rust Smart Contract(Solana Blockchain) built for educational purposes. A REIT(Real Estate Investment Trusts) is a regulated collective investment vehicle that enables persons to contribute money’s worth as consideration for the acquisition of rights or interests in a trust that is divided into units with the intention of earning profits or income from real estate as beneficiaries of the trust. This Smart Contract provides a marketplace where investors buy and sell real estate investment trusts.

There are two main types of REITs:

• Development Real Estate Investment Trusts (D-REITs)
• Income Real Estate Investment Trust (I-REITs)

Below are some features contained in the program:

• Register investment trust scheme
• Register investor
• Buy investment trusts using USDC token
• Sell investment trusts and get USDC token
• Create USDC token (*for test purposes)
• Transfer USDC token

In order to run this example program you will need to install Rust and Solana. Information about installing Rust can be found here and information about installing Solana can be found here.

Once you've completed the Solana installation run the following commands to configure your machine for local deployment:

solana config set --url localhost
solana-keygen new

These two commands create Solana config files in ~/.config/solana/ which solana command line tools will read in to determine what cluster to connect to and what keypair to use.

Having done that run a local Solana validator by executing:

solana-test-validator

This program must be left running in a separate terminal window.

To deploy the Solana program in this repository to the Solana cluster that you have configured run:

anchor build

anchor deploy

To run the test program you must have already deployed the Solana program. The test program sends a transaction to the Solana blockchain asking it to execute the deployed program and reports the results.

anchor test --skip-local-validator
