Drift Protocol v1

This repository provides open source access to Drift's Typescript SDK, Solana Programs, and more.

SDK Guide

The technical documentation for the SDK can be found here, and you can visit Drift's general purpose documentation here.

Installation

npm i @drift-labs/sdk

Getting Started

Setting up a wallet for your program

# Generate a keypair
solana-keygen new

# Get the pubkey for the new wallet (You will need to send USDC to this address to Deposit into Drift (only on mainnet - devnet has a faucet for USDC))
solana address

# Put the private key into your .env to be used by your bot
cd {projectLocation}
echo BOT_PRIVATE_KEY=`cat ~/.config/solana/id.json` >> .env

Concepts

BN / Precision

The Drift SDK uses BigNum (BN), using this package, to represent numerical values. This is because Solana tokens tend to use levels of precision which are too precise for standard Javascript floating point numbers to handle. All numbers in BN are represented as integers, and we will often denote the precision of the number so that it can be converted back down to a regular number.

Example:
a BigNum: 10,500,000, with precision 10^6, is equal to 10.5 because 10,500,000 / 10^6 = 10.5.

The Drift SDK uses some common precisions, which are available as constants to import from the SDK.

Precision Name	Value
QUOTE_PRECISION	10^6
MARK_PRICE_PRECISION	10^10
AMM_RESERVE_PRECISION	10^13
FUNDING_PAYMENT_PRECISION	10^4
PEG_PRECISION	10^3

Important Note for BigNum division

Because BN only supports integers, you need to be conscious of the numbers you are using when dividing. BN will return the floor when using the regular division function; if you want to get the exact divison, you need to add the modulus of the two numbers as well. There is a helper function convertToNumber in the SDK which will do this for you.

import {convertToNumber} from @drift-labs/sdk

// Gets the floor value
new BN(10500).div(new BN(1000)).toNumber(); // = 10

// Gets the exact value
new BN(10500).div(new BN(1000)).toNumber() + BN(10500).mod(new BN(1000)).toNumber(); // = 10.5

// Also gets the exact value
convertToNumber(new BN(10500), new BN(1000)); // = 10.5

Examples

Setting up an account and making a trade
