Practical overview
When it fits
Use Mantis when you need a code-based workflow for evaluating Meteora DLMM positions and want to explore its decisions in paper-trading mode before considering on-chain execution.
Who it is for
- Solana liquidity providers managing positions in Meteora DLMM pools.
- Developers exploring or adapting automated liquidity-management agents.
Documented uses
- Track watched pools and assess fee income relative to estimated impermanent loss.
- Evaluate bin drift, pool volume signals and other on-chain conditions.
- Simulate a proposed rebalance and pass actions through configured risk gates.
- Run development-mode paper trading or a documented historical backtest.
Requirements & limits
The repository is public and identifies an MIT license. The documented development command defaults to paper trading.
- It targets Meteora DLMM pools on Solana, rather than liquidity positions generally.
- The documented setup uses Bun 1.2 and Docker Compose to start ChromaDB.
- Its decision inputs include fee-to-impermanent-loss pressure, bin drift, volume authenticity and stored pool outcomes.
- Risk gates can reject or limit proposed actions; their thresholds are configurable.
- The README documents paper trading by default and separately identifies a setting for on-chain execution.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Set up Mantis for paper-trading development
Install the project, configure its environment and start its documented development mode.
Before you start
- Bun 1.2
- Docker Compose for the ChromaDB service
- A local copy of the public Mantis repository
Steps
Clone the repository and change into its directory.
Run
bun installto install dependencies.Run
bun run setupand follow the interactive environment-file wizard.Start ChromaDB with
docker-compose up -d.Run
bun run dev; the documented default is paper trading.
Expected outcome
The development process starts with paper trading enabled by default.
Guide limitations
- This setup guide does not describe enabling or verifying live on-chain execution.
- Pool watchlist and strategy settings are configured through environment variables.
