Overview

Welcome to the Saros SDK Documentation! Saros Finance is a comprehensive DeFi ecosystem built on Solana, offering multiple SDKs to integrate AMM (Automated Market Maker), DLMM (Dynamic Liquidity Market Maker), staking, and farming functionality into your applications.

What is Saros Finance?​

Saros Finance is a DeFi Super-Network that provides:

  • AMM Protocol: Traditional automated market maker for token swapping
  • DLMM Protocol: Advanced concentrated liquidity market maker
  • Staking: Earn rewards by staking tokens
  • Farming: Liquidity provider rewards and yield farming

SDK Architecture​

Saros SDK Architecture

The Saros ecosystem provides three specialized SDKs, each optimized for different development needs and performance requirements. From web-friendly TypeScript integration to high-performance Rust implementations, choose the SDK that best fits your use case.

Available SDKs​

TypeScript SDK (@saros-finance/sdk)​

The main TypeScript SDK provides comprehensive access to:

  • Token swapping via AMM
  • Liquidity pool creation and management
  • Staking and unstaking operations
  • Farming and reward claiming
  • Pool information and analytics

Best for: Web applications, Node.js backends, and JavaScript-based DeFi interfaces.

DLMM TypeScript SDK (@saros-finance/dlmm-sdk)​

Specialized SDK for Dynamic Liquidity Market Maker operations:

  • Concentrated liquidity provision
  • Position management
  • Fee tier optimization
  • Advanced trading strategies

Best for: Advanced trading applications and concentrated liquidity strategies.

Rust DLMM SDK (saros-dlmm-sdk-rs)​

High-performance Rust implementation:

  • Jupiter AMM trait integration
  • Low-latency trading operations
  • Memory-efficient operations
  • Native Solana program calls

Best for: Trading bots, arbitrage applications, and performance-critical systems.

2. Installation​

# TypeScript SDK
npm install @saros-finance/sdk

# DLMM TypeScript SDK
npm install @saros-finance/dlmm-sdk

# Rust SDK - Add to Cargo.toml
saros-dlmm = "0.1.0"

3. Basic Usage​

import { swapSaros, getSwapAmountSaros } from '@saros-finance/sdk';

// Calculate swap amount
const swapEstimate = await getSwapAmountSaros(
  connection,
  fromMint,
  toMint,
  fromAmount,
  slippage,
  poolParams
);

// Execute swap
const result = await swapSaros(/* ... parameters ... */);
