Integrate Raydium Swap Functionality into a Solana Program

·

Solana has emerged as a leading platform for blockchain application development, renowned for its low transaction costs and high throughput. Among the thriving protocols on Solana, Raydium stands out as a prominent automated market maker (AMM) and liquidity provider, offering seamless token swaps, yield farming, and liquidity pool features. Integrating Raydium's swap functionality into custom Solana programs unlocks a wealth of opportunities for developers.

This guide walks you through the process of leveraging the Raydium SDK and Solana Web3.js framework to incorporate Raydium's swap capabilities into your Solana program.

Integrating Raydium Swap Functionality Using Raydium SDK and Solana Web3.js

Prerequisites:

Setting Up the Development Environment

  1. Initialize your project:

    npm init -y

  2. Install essential dependencies:

    npm install @solana/web3.js @solana/spl-token @raydium-io/raydium-sdk decimal.js fs
    • @solana/web3.js: Official Solana JavaScript SDK.
    • @solana/spl-token: Library for interacting with SPL tokens.
    • @raydium-io/raydium-sdk: Raydium's SDK for AMM and liquidity pool interactions.
    • decimal.js: Handles precision-critical decimal arithmetic.

Connecting to the Solana Cluster

import { Connection, clusterApiUrl } from '@solana/web3.js';

const connection = new Connection(clusterApiUrl('devnet'), 'confirmed');
console.log("Connected to Solana Devnet");

Loading the Payer's Keypair

import * as fs from 'fs';
import { Keypair } from '@solana/web3.js';

const secretKey = Uint8Array.from(JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync('./secret.json', 'utf8')));
const payer = Keypair.fromSecretKey(secretKey);
console.log("Payer's public key:", payer.publicKey.toBase58());

Creating and Minting SPL Tokens

import { createMint, mintTo, getOrCreateAssociatedTokenAccount } from '@solana/spl-token';

const token1 = await createMint(connection, payer, payer.publicKey, null, 9);
const token2 = await createMint(connection, payer, payer.publicKey, null, 9);

const token1Account = await getOrCreateAssociatedTokenAccount(connection, payer, token1, payer.publicKey);
const token2Account = await getOrCreateAssociatedTokenAccount(connection, payer, token2, payer.publicKey);

await mintTo(connection, payer, token1, token1Account.address, payer.publicKey, 1000000000); // Minting 1000 tokens
await mintTo(connection, payer, token2, token2Account.address, payer.publicKey, 1000000000);

console.log("Minted tokens and created associated token accounts.");

Creating a Liquidity Pool on Raydium

import { Liquidity, DEVNET_PROGRAM_ID, TxVersion, BN } from '@raydium-io/raydium-sdk';

const targetMarketId = Keypair.generate().publicKey;
const startTime = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000) + 60 * 60 * 24 * 7; // Start time: 7 days from now

const walletAccount = await getWalletTokenAccount(connection, payer.publicKey);

const createPoolTx = await Liquidity.makeCreatePoolV4InstructionV2Simple({
  connection,
  programId: DEVNET_PROGRAM_ID.AmmV4,
  marketInfo: {
    marketId: targetMarketId,
    programId: DEVNET_PROGRAM_ID.OPENBOOK_MARKET,
  },
  baseMintInfo: { mint: token1, decimals: 9 },
  quoteMintInfo: { mint: new PublicKey('So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112'), decimals: 9 },
  baseAmount: new BN(10000),
  quoteAmount: new BN(10000),
  startTime: new BN(startTime),
  ownerInfo: {
    feePayer: payer.publicKey,
    wallet: payer.publicKey,
    tokenAccounts: walletAccount,
    useSOLBalance: true,
  },
  associatedOnly: false,
  checkCreateATAOwner: true,
  makeTxVersion: TxVersion.V0,
});

console.log("Liquidity pool created on Raydium.");

Adding Liquidity to the Pool

const addLiquidityTx = await Liquidity.makeAddLiquidityInstructionSimple({
  connection,
  poolKeys,
  userKeys: {
    owner: payer.publicKey,
    payer: payer.publicKey,
    tokenAccounts: walletAccount,
  },
  amountInA: new TokenAmount(new Token(TOKEN_PROGRAM_ID, token1, 9, 'Token1', 'Token1'), 100),
  amountInB: maxAnotherAmount,
  fixedSide: 'a',
  makeTxVersion,
});

console.log("Liquidity added to the pool.");

Performing a Swap

const swapInstruction = await Liquidity.makeSwapInstruction({
  poolKeys,
  userKeys: {
    owner: payer.publicKey,
    tokenAccountIn: fromTokenAccount,
    tokenAccountOut: toTokenAccount,
  },
  amountIn,
  amountOut: minimumAmountOut,
  fixedSide: "in",
});

const transaction = new Transaction().add(...swapInstruction.innerTransaction.instructions);
const transactionSignature = await connection.sendTransaction(
  transaction,
  [payer],
  { skipPreflight: false, preflightCommitment: "confirmed" }
);

console.log("Swap transaction signature:", transactionSignature);
