# Pinocchio Development Guide
Build blazing-fast Solana programs with Pinocchio - a zero-dependency, zero-copy framework that delivers **88-95% compute unit reduction** and **40% smaller binaries** compared to traditional approaches.
## Overview
Pinocchio is Anza's minimalist Rust library for writing Solana programs without the heavyweight `solana-program` crate. It treats incoming transaction data as a single byte slice, reading it in-place via zero-copy techniques.
### Performance Comparison
| Metric | Anchor | Native (solana-program) | Pinocchio |
|--------|--------|------------------------|-----------|
| Token Transfer CU | ~6,000 | ~4,500 | ~600-800 |
| Binary Size | Large | Medium | Small (-40%) |
