Solana Programmingbump

Bump Seed

Also known asCanonical Bump
A single byte (255 down to 0) appended to PDA seeds to push the derived address off the Ed25519 curve. find_program_address tries bump=255 first and decrements until finding a valid PDA. The first valid bump found is the canonical bump. Always store and reuse the canonical bump to avoid security issues.
