Understand the project

Practical overview

When it fits

Use Whirlpools when an application needs to interact with its concentrated-liquidity AMM program on Solana, and select the SDK according to the project's language and Solana client stack.

Who it is for

  • Developers building applications that interact with concentrated-liquidity pools on Solana.
  • TypeScript and Rust teams choosing an SDK for contract integration.
  • Teams using Solana Web3.js that need the repository's legacy TypeScript SDK.

Documented uses

  • Integrate an application with the deployed Whirlpools program.
  • Use SDK client packages to parse program accounts, instructions and errors.
  • Use core utilities for math and quoting functions.
  • Build and develop the contract and SDK codebase locally.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The repository is public and identifies deployments on Solana Mainnet and Devnet. The documented local development workflow includes setting up a Solana wallet and devnet SOL for transaction fees.

  • The high-level SDK choices are TypeScript package @orca-so/whirlpools and Rust package orca_whirlpools.
  • The lower-level client packages include account, instruction and error parsing; core packages provide utility, math and quoting functions.
  • The repository identifies the legacy TypeScript SDK as the only option for projects using Solana Web3.js.
  • Local development requirements include Anchor v0.32.1 and Solana v2.1.0.
  • The repository documents a verifiable-build deployment and links to a verification result.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Set up and build the Whirlpools development environment

Install the repository dependencies and build the project using its documented setup script.

Before you start

  • A fresh development environment such as a cloud VM, container or new machine.
  • The Whirlpools repository cloned locally.

Steps

  1. From the repository root, make the setup script executable with chmod +x scripts/setup.sh.

  2. Run ./scripts/setup.sh to install dependencies and build the project.

Expected outcome

The setup script installs the required dependencies and builds the project.

Guide limitations

  • The script is designed for fresh environments and does not check for existing dependency versions.
  • The repository lists Anchor v0.32.1 and Solana v2.1.0 as local development requirements.
