Practical overview
When it fits
Consider Magnus when building a Solana swap application or service that needs a shared off-chain quote and strategy layer alongside on-chain swap routing.
Who it is for
- Developers building a Solana token-swap interface that needs quotes from integrated liquidity sources.
- Teams creating a service to prepare and route swaps across supported AMMs and adjacent aggregators.
Documented uses
- Request a swap quote through the aggregator’s quote endpoint.
- Trigger a swap through its swap endpoint and on-chain router.
- Integrate liquidity sources through the project’s adapter interface.
Requirements & limits
The public repository identifies the project as MIT-licensed and is not marked archived.
- The repository lists HumidiFi, SolFiV2, ObricV2, ZeroFi, TesseraV, GoonFi, and Raydium Constant Product and Concentrated Liquidity as implemented sources.
- Some proprietary AMMs use direct simulation because their state is obfuscated, rather than locally stored, deserialized state.
- The project describes its implementation as a work in progress.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Use Magnus’s quote and swap API stages
Trigger a quote and a swap through the Magnus aggregator’s documented API endpoints.
Before you start
- A Magnus aggregator instance that has been started; the README identifies these API endpoints but does not document how to install or start the service.
Steps
Send a quote request to
/api/v1/quote.Send a swap request to
/api/v1/swap.Consult the API server endpoint documentation at
0:0:0:0:19000after the aggregator has been started.
Expected outcome
Magnus exposes endpoints for triggering quotes and swaps, with API endpoint documentation available after startup.
Guide limitations
- The README does not specify request methods, parameters, authentication, or transaction-signing details.
- The repository describes the project as a work in progress.
- Some proprietary AMM swap calculations are simulated through a built-in chroot-like shell.
