Start Fuzzing#

Trident helps you create comprehensive fuzz tests for your Solana programs. This section guides you through the complete process from initialization to execution.

Quick Start#

1. Initialize Trident#

To start writing fuzz tests, initialize Trident in your Anchor-based workspace:

trident init

2. Add a Fuzz Test#

If you have already initialized Trident, add a new fuzz test:

trident fuzz add

3. Project Structure#

Trident creates a new fuzz test template in the trident-tests directory:

project-root
├── trident-tests
│   ├── .fuzz-artifacts         # Fuzzing artifacts (dashboard, metrics, etc.)
│   ├── fuzz_0                  # Your first fuzz test
│   │   ├── test_fuzz.rs        # Main fuzz test logic
│   │   ├── fuzz_accounts.rs    # Account addresses storage
│   │   └── types.rs            # IDL-like generated types
│   ├── fuzz_1                  # Additional fuzz tests
│   ├── fuzz_X                  # Multiple fuzz tests supported
│   ├── fuzzing                 # Compilation and crash artifacts
│   ├── Cargo.toml              # Rust dependencies
│   └── Trident.toml            # Trident configuration
└── ...

Next Steps#

Now that you have the basic structure set up, learn how to:

  1. Write Fuzz Tests - Learn how to construct instructions and define fuzzing flows
  2. Execute Fuzz Tests - Run your fuzz tests and analyze results

Start Simple

Begin with a single fuzz test to understand the workflow, then expand to multiple test scenarios as needed.
