Now that you’ve set up your development environment, it’s time to configure the RPC endpoint. This is crucial because it allows your development environment to interact with a specific Solana cluster. In this case, you will be connecting to the SOON Testnet rather than the Solana local cluster or default Solana Testnet.

​
Configuring the Solana CLI to Use SOON Testnet

Instead of pointing your Solana CLI to the default local cluster or Solana Testnet, you’ll need to configure it to use the SOON Testnet RPC.

RPC Link: https://rpc.testnet.soo.network/rpc

Run the following command to set the RPC URL to SOON Testnet:

solana config set --url https://rpc.testnet.soo.network/rpc

You can verify that the Solana CLI is properly configured to use the SOON Testnet by running:

solana config get

You should see an output that includes the following URL:

Config File: /home/xxxx
RPC URL: https://rpc.testnet.soo.network/rpc
WebSocket URL: wss://rpc.testnet.soo.network/rpc (computed)
Keypair Path: /home/xxxxx
