MagicBlock Ephemeral Rollups Guide

A comprehensive guide for building high-performance Solana applications with MagicBlock Ephemeral Rollups - enabling sub-10ms latency and gasless transactions.

Overview

MagicBlock Ephemeral Rollups (ER) are specialized SVM runtimes that enhance Solana with:

  • Sub-10ms latency (vs ~400ms on base Solana)
  • Gasless transactions for seamless UX
  • Full composability with existing Solana programs
  • Horizontal scaling via on-demand rollups

Architecture

│                      Your Application                        │

└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Core Flow

  • Initialize - Create accounts on Solana base layer
  • Delegate - Transfer account ownership to delegation program
  • Execute - Run fast operations on Ephemeral Rollup
  • Commit - Sync state back to base layer
  • Undelegate - Return ownership to your program

Prerequisites

# Required versions
Solana: 2.3.13
Rust: 1.85.0
Anchor: 0.32.1
Node: 24.10.0

# Install Anchor (if needed)
cargo install --git https://github.com/coral-xyz/anchor anchor-cli

Quick Start

1. Add Dependencies (Cargo.toml)

[dependencies]
anchor-lang = "0.32.1"
ephemeral-rollups-sdk = { version = "0.6.5", features = ["anchor", "disable-realloc"] }

2. Program Setup (lib.rs)

use anchor_lang::prelude::*;
use ephemeral_rollups_sdk::anchor::{delegate_account, commit_accounts, ephemeral};
use ephemeral_rollups_sdk::cpi::DelegationProgram;

declare_id!("YourProgramId111111111111111111111111111111");

#[ephemeral]  // Required: enables ER support
#[program]
pub mod my_program {
    use super::*;

    pub fn initialize(ctx: Context<Initialize>) -> Result<()> {
        ctx.accounts.state.value = 0;
        Ok(())
    }

    #[delegate]  // Auto-injects delegation accounts
    pub fn delegate(ctx: Context<Delegate>) -> Result<()> {
        Ok(())
    }

    pub fn increment(ctx: Context<Update>) -> Result<()> {
        ctx.accounts.state.value += 1;
        Ok(())
    }

    #[commit]  // Auto-injects commit accounts
    pub fn undelegate(ctx: Context<Undelegate>) -> Result<()> {
        Ok(())
    }
}

3. TypeScript Client Setup

import { Connection, PublicKey } from "@solana/web3.js";
import { AnchorProvider, Program } from "@coral-xyz/anchor";
import { DELEGATION_PROGRAM_ID } from "@magicblock-labs/ephemeral-rollups-sdk";

// CRITICAL: Separate connections for each layer
const baseConnection = new Connection("https://api.devnet.solana.com");
const erConnection = new Connection("https://devnet.magicblock.app");

// Create providers
const baseProvider = new AnchorProvider(baseConnection, wallet, { commitment: "confirmed" });
const erProvider = new AnchorProvider(erConnection, wallet, {
  commitment: "confirmed",
  skipPreflight: true,  // Required for ER
});

// Check delegation status
async function isDelegated(pubkey: PublicKey): Promise<boolean> {
  const info = await baseConnection.getAccountInfo(pubkey);
  return info?.owner.equals(DELEGATION_PROGRAM_ID) ?? false;
}

Key Concepts

Delegation

Delegation transfers PDA ownership to the delegation program, allowing the Ephemeral Validator to process transactions.

#[derive(Accounts)]
pub struct Delegate<'info> {
    #[account(mut)]
    pub payer: Signer<'info>,
    /// CHECK: Will be delegated
    #[account(mut, del)]  // 'del' marks for delegation
    pub state: AccountInfo<'info>,
    pub delegation_program: Program<'info, DelegationProgram>,
}

Commit

Commits update PDA state from ER to base layer without undelegating.

use ephemeral_rollups_sdk::anchor::commit_accounts;

pub fn commit(ctx: Context<Commit>) -> Result<()> {
    commit_accounts(
        &ctx.accounts.payer,
        vec![&ctx.accounts.state.to_account_info()],
        &ctx.accounts.magic_context,
        &ctx.accounts.magic_program,
    )?;
    Ok(())
}

Undelegation

Returns PDA ownership to your program while committing final state.

#[commit]  // Handles commit + undelegate
pub fn undelegate(ctx: Context<Undelegate>) -> Result<()> {
    Ok(())
}

Critical Rules

DO:

  • Maintain separate connections for base layer and ER
  • Use skipPreflight: true for all ER transactions
  • Verify delegation status before sending to ER
  • Use AccountInfo for delegated accounts in Rust
  • Match PDA seeds exactly between Rust and TypeScript

DON'T:

  • Send delegated account operations to base layer
  • Mix base layer and ER operations in single transaction
  • Assume account ownership without checking
  • Skip commitment verification before base layer reads

Products

| Product | Description |

|---------|-------------|

| Ephemeral Rollup (ER) | High-performance, gasless transactions |

| Private ER (PER) | Privacy-preserving computation with Intel TDX |

| VRF | Verifiable random function for on-chain randomness |

| BOLT Framework | ECS architecture for fully on-chain games |

| Solana Plugins | App-specific extensions for enhanced capabilities |

Solana Plugins (New)

Solana Plugins are modular capabilities that can be added to your dApp to extend what's possible on Solana. Think of them as your custom toolkit: plug in what you need, when you need it.

Available Plugins

| Plugin | Description | Use Cases |

|--------|-------------|-----------|

| Verifiable Randomness (VRF) | Provably fair on-chain randomness | Games, lotteries, NFT drops |

| Real-Time Price Feeds | Up-to-the-millisecond market data | DEXs, trading bots, DeFi |

| AI Oracles | Call AI models directly from smart contracts | Dynamic NFTs, AI agents |

Using VRF Plugin

import { requestRandomness, getRandomnessResult } from "@magicblock-labs/vrf-sdk";

// Request randomness
const requestTx = await requestRandomness({
  payer: wallet.publicKey,
  seed: Buffer.from("my_game_seed"),
});

// Get result after confirmation
const result = await getRandomnessResult(requestId);
console.log("Random value:", result.randomness);

Privacy with Intel TDX

MagicBlock enables privacy in any Solana program state account through Ephemeral Rollups running in Trusted Execution Environments (TEE) on Intel TDX. This allows:

  • Private computation without exposing state
  • Verifiable execution guarantees
  • Selective disclosure of results

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take sendaifun/magicblock from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.

Install what it needs

The instructions reference cargo, go. Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
