Core Products

Pool Types

| Type | Description | Best For | |------|-------------|----------| | CLMM | Concentrated Liquidity Market Maker | Professional LPs, stablecoin pairs, active management | | CPMM | Constant Product (x*y=k) with Token22 | New token launches, simple integrations | | AMM V4 | Classic AMM + OpenBook CLOB | Existing markets, hybrid liquidity |

Additional Features

• LaunchLab - Permissionless token launches with bonding curves
• Farms - Yield farming and staking rewards
• Burn & Earn - Permanent liquidity locking
• Trade API - HTTP API for swap routing

API Overview

1. SDK (TypeScript)

Package: @raydium-io/raydium-sdk-v2

For programmatic integration with full control over pools, positions, and transactions.

2. Trade API (HTTP)

Base URL: https://transaction-v1.raydium.io

For swap routing - get quotes and serialized transactions via HTTP.

3. Data API

Base URL: https://api-v3.raydium.io

For pool data, token lists, farm info, and configurations.

Quick Start

Installation

npm install @raydium-io/raydium-sdk-v2
# or
yarn add @raydium-io/raydium-sdk-v2

Basic Setup

import { Raydium } from '@raydium-io/raydium-sdk-v2';
import { Connection, Keypair } from '@solana/web3.js';
import bs58 from 'bs58';

// Setup connection and wallet
const connection = new Connection('https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com');
const owner = Keypair.fromSecretKey(bs58.decode('YOUR_SECRET_KEY'));

// Initialize SDK
const raydium = await Raydium.load({
  connection,
  owner,
  cluster: 'mainnet',
  disableLoadToken: false, // Load token list
});

// Access token data
const tokenList = raydium.token.tokenList;
const tokenMap = raydium.token.tokenMap;

// Access account data
const tokenAccounts = raydium.account.tokenAccounts;

Pool Types

CLMM (Concentrated Liquidity)

Allows LPs to concentrate liquidity in specific price ranges for higher capital efficiency.

// Fetch CLMM pool
const poolId = 'POOL_ID_HERE';
const poolInfo = await raydium.clmm.getPoolInfoFromRpc(poolId);

// Or from API (mainnet only)
const poolData = await raydium.api.fetchPoolById({ ids: poolId });

CPMM (Constant Product)

Simplified AMM without OpenBook market requirement, supports Token22.

// Fetch CPMM pool
const cpmmPool = await raydium.cpmm.getPoolInfoFromRpc(poolId);

AMM (Legacy)

Classic AMM integrated with OpenBook central limit order book.

// Fetch AMM pool
const ammPool = await raydium.liquidity.getPoolInfoFromRpc({ poolId });

Core Operations

Swap

import { CurveCalculator } from '@raydium-io/raydium-sdk-v2';

// Calculate swap
const { amountOut, fee } = CurveCalculator.swapBaseInput({
  poolInfo,
  amountIn: 1000000n, // lamports
  mintIn: inputMint,
  mintOut: outputMint,
});

// Execute CPMM swap
const { execute } = await raydium.cpmm.swap({
  poolInfo,
  inputAmount: 1000000n,
  inputMint,
  slippage: 0.01, // 1%
  txVersion: 'V0',
});

await execute({ sendAndConfirm: true });

Add Liquidity

// CPMM deposit
const { execute } = await raydium.cpmm.addLiquidity({
  poolInfo,
  inputAmount: 1000000n,
  baseIn: true,
  slippage: 0.01,
});

await execute({ sendAndConfirm: true });

Create Pool

// Create CPMM pool
const { execute } = await raydium.cpmm.createPool({
  mintA,
  mintB,
  mintAAmount: 1000000n,
  mintBAmount: 1000000n,
  startTime: new BN(0),
  feeConfig, // from API
  txVersion: 'V0',
});

const { txId } = await execute({ sendAndConfirm: true });

Program IDs

| Program | Mainnet | Devnet | |---------|---------|--------| | AMM | 675kPX9MHTjS2zt1qfr1NYHuzeLXfQM9H24wFSUt1Mp8 | DRaya7Kj3aMWQSy19kSjvmuwq9docCHofyP9kanQGaav | | CLMM | CAMMCzo5YL8w4VFF8KVHrK22GGUsp5VTaW7grrKgrWqK | devi51mZmdwUJGU9hjN27vEz64Gps7uUefqxg27EAtH | | CPMM | CPMMoo8L3F4NbTegBCKVNunggL7H1ZpdTHKxQB5qKP1C | CPMDWBwJDtYax9qW7AyRuVC19Cc4L4Vcy4n2BHAbHkCW |

API Endpoints

// Mainnet API
const API_URL = 'https://api-v3.raydium.io';

// Devnet API
const DEVNET_API = 'https://api-v3.raydium.io/main/';

// Common endpoints
const endpoints = {
  tokenList: '/mint/list',
  poolList: '/pools/info/list',
  poolById: '/pools/info/ids',
  farmList: '/farms/info/list',
  clmmConfigs: '/clmm/configs',
};

Transaction Options

const { execute } = await raydium.cpmm.swap({
  poolInfo,
  inputAmount,
  inputMint,
  slippage: 0.01,
  txVersion: 'V0', // or 'LEGACY'
  computeBudgetConfig: {
    units: 600000,
    microLamports: 100000, // priority fee
  },
});

// Execute with options
const { txId } = await execute({
  sendAndConfirm: true,
  skipPreflight: true,
});

console.log(`https://solscan.io/tx/${txId}`);

Key Features

| Feature | CLMM | CPMM | AMM | |---------|------|------|-----| | Concentrated Liquidity | Yes | No | No | | Token22 Support | Limited | Yes | No | | OpenBook Required | No | No | Yes | | Custom Price Ranges | Yes | No | No | | LP NFT Positions | Yes | No | No |

LaunchLab (New)

LaunchLab simplifies token launches on Solana with customizable bonding curves:

// Create token with bonding curve via LaunchLab
const { execute } = await raydium.launchLab.createToken({
  name: "My Token",
  symbol: "MTK",
  uri: "https://arweave.net/metadata.json",
  initialSupply: 1_000_000_000n,
  bondingCurve: "linear", // or "exponential"
  graduationThreshold: 85_000_000_000n, // 85 SOL
  txVersion: "V0",
});

const { txId } = await execute({ sendAndConfirm: true });

Bonding Curve Migration

Tokens automatically migrate to AMM pools once they hit the graduation threshold (default: 85 SOL). Creators earn 10% of trading fees post-migration.

Key Milestones (2025)

• 35,000+ tokens launched via LaunchLab
• Orb Explorer launched for on-chain analytics

V3 Protocol (Coming)

Raydium V3 introduces a hybrid liquidity model combining:

• AMM pools with OpenBook's decentralized order book
• Access to 40% more liquidity across Solana DeFi
• Enhanced capital efficiency for LPs
