1. Consider Your Project Requirements
If you're building a general DeFi application with standard swap and liquidity features, the @saros-finance/sdk is the best choice. For advanced trading strategies that require concentrated liquidity and reduced slippage, consider the @saros-finance/dlmm-sdk. For high-performance, server-side applications, the Rust SDK is optimal.
2. Evaluate Your Team's Expertise
The TypeScript SDKs are easier to use and have extensive documentation, making them suitable for teams with JavaScript/TypeScript experience. The Rust SDK requires knowledge of Rust and Solana's low-level concepts but offers superior performance.
3. Think About Performance Needs
For most applications, the performance of the TypeScript SDKs is sufficient. However, if you're building high-frequency trading systems or applications that require maximum throughput, the Rust SDK's zero-cost abstractions and memory safety provide significant advantages.
Pro Tip
You can combine SDKs in a single project. For example, use the TypeScript SDK for frontend interactions and the Rust SDK for backend services that require high performance.
