# System Program Service

> Build Solana System Program instructions for account creation, SOL transfers, space allocation, and durable nonce management.

System Program Service methods are instruction builders — each method returns a [SolanaInstruction](/api-reference/shared-types) that you add to a transaction, compile, sign, and submit via the Transaction Service. No instruction executes on-chain until it is part of a submitted transaction. See [Instructions & Transactions](/concepts/instructions-and-transactions) for the full pattern.

<Note>
  System Program methods return SolanaInstruction objects. To execute them on-chain, add the instructions to a transaction and use the Transaction Service. See [Instructions & Transactions](/concepts/instructions-and-transactions).
