1. Prerequisites

Before starting this tutorial, ensure you have the following:

  • Rust and Cargo installed
  • Basic knowledge of Rust programming
  • Understanding of Solana's account model
  • Familiarity with async/await in Rust
  • Access to a Solana RPC endpoint
Install Dependencies
# Install Rust and Cargo
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

# Add the Saros DLMM SDK to your Cargo.toml
[dependencies]
saros-dlmm-sdk = { path = "../saros-dlmm" }

# Or if using a published version
# saros-dlmm-sdk = "0.1.0"

2. Import Modules

Import the necessary modules from the Saros DLMM SDK and Solana SDK.

Import Modules
// Import the necessary modules
use saros_dlmm_sdk::DlmmClient;
use solana_sdk::pubkey::Pubkey;
use anyhow::Result;

3. Initialize Client

Create a new DlmmClient instance connected to a Solana RPC endpoint.

Initialize Client
// Initialize the DLMM client
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<()> {
    let client = DlmmClient::new("https://api.devnet.solana.com".to_string())?;
    // Your code here
    Ok(())
}

4. Get All Pools

Retrieve a list of all available DLMM pools.

Get All Pools
// Get a list of all available pools
let pools = client.get_all_pools().await?;
println!("Found {} pools", pools.len());

for pool in pools.iter().take(5) {
    println!("Pool: {}, TVL: {}", pool.address, pool.tvl);
}

5. Get Specific Pool

Retrieve information about a specific DLMM pool by its address.

Get Specific Pool
// Get information about a specific pool
let pool_address = "EwsqJeioGAXE5EdZHj1QvcuvqgVhJDp9729H5wjh28DD".parse::<Pubkey>()?;
let pool = client.get_pool(pool_address).await?;

println!("Pool Address: {}", pool.address);
println!("Token X: {}", pool.token_x);
println!("Token Y: {}", pool.token_y);
println!("TVL: {}", pool.tvl);

6. Get Swap Quote

Get a quote for a swap operation to see the expected output amount and price impact.

Get Swap Quote
// Get a quote for a swap operation
let amount = 1_000_000u64; // 1 USDC (6 decimals)
let is_exact_input = true;
let swap_for_y = true;
let pair = pool_address;
let token_base = "C98A4nkJXhpVZNAZdHUA95RpTF3T4whtQubL3YobiUX9".parse::<Pubkey>()?;
let token_quote = "EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1zzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v".parse::<Pubkey>()?;
let token_base_decimal = 6;
let token_quote_decimal = 6;
let slippage = 0.5; // 0.5% slippage tolerance

let quote = client.get_quote(
    amount,
    is_exact_input,
    swap_for_y,
    pair,
    token_base,
    token_quote,
    token_base_decimal,
    token_quote_decimal,
    slippage
).await?;

println!("Quote: {:?}", quote);

7. Execute Swap

Create a transaction for swapping tokens using the quote data.

Execute Swap
// Create a transaction for swapping tokens
let transaction = client.swap(
    amount,
    token_base, // token_mint_x
    token_quote, // token_mint_y
    quote.other_amount_offset,
    is_exact_input,
    swap_for_y,
    pair,
    payer_pubkey // User's wallet pubkey
).await?;

println!("Transaction created: {:?}", transaction);
Understanding Rust DLMM Operations
1. Async Operations: All operations are async and must be awaited.
2. Error Handling: Use Result<T> for proper error handling.
3. Type Safety: Rust's type system ensures compile-time safety for all operations.
4. Performance: Zero-cost abstractions provide maximum performance with minimal overhead.
Benefits of the Rust SDK

Zero-Cost Abstractions

The Rust SDK provides high-level abstractions without runtime overhead, resulting in performance comparable to hand-written C code.

Memory Safety

Rust's ownership system prevents buffer overflows, null pointer dereferences, and other memory-related bugs at compile time.

Concurrency

Rust's concurrency model makes it easy to write safe, concurrent code without data races.

Interoperability

The Rust SDK can easily integrate with existing Solana programs and other Rust libraries in the ecosystem.
