Alpha Vault without Whitelist

Permissionless Alpha Vault has no whitelist or individual deposit cap. "Permissionless" in this case means anyone can deposit assets into the Alpha Vault after creation.

To use the following Alpha Vault SDK examples, please complete the steps listed in the Alpha Vault SDK section first.

Example Timeline (Alpha Vault: Pro rata mode)

3. Withdraw SOL or USDC from Alpha Vault during deposit period (only for Pro rata mode)

4. Crank Alpha Vault to buy tokens from a Dynamic AMM/Memecoin pool

5. Crank Alpha Vault to buy tokens from a DLMM pool

6. Withdraw unused SOL or USDC from Alpha Vault (only for Pro rata mode)

7. Claim tokens from Alpha Vault

8. Close Escrow Account

9. Configure Alpha Vault Timings

10. Considerations for Slot Parameters

11. Important Reminders

1. Create Dynamic Pool With Permissionless Alpha Vault

This example shows how to create a new Dynamic AMM Pool that also adds a permissionless Alpha Vault. Please contact the Meteora team if the existing pool and vault config do not meet your requirements. Currently only Dynamic AMM Pools support the addition of a permissionless Alpha Vault.

Note: Currently, only SOL or USDC is accepted as the quote token when initializing a Dynamic AMM or DLMM Pool with Alpha Vault in a permissionless setup. Since the Alpha Vault can't tell what the quote token would be, the quote token is limited to SOL or USDC.

  clusterApiUrl,
  Connection,
  Keypair,
  PublicKey,
  sendAndConfirmTransaction,
} from "@solana/web3.js";
import { loadKeypairFromFile } from "./utils";

3. Withdraw SOL or USDC from Alpha Vault during deposit period (only for Pro rata mode)

This example shows how to withdraw SOL or USDC from an Alpha Vault. Withdraw function only available before the end of the deposit period, and the function is applicable only when the Alpha Vault is using Pro rata mode.

import {
  clusterApiUrl,
  Connection,
  Keypair,
  PublicKey,

  .then(() => {
    console.log("Done");
  })
  .catch(console.error);

4. Crank Alpha Vault to buy tokens from a Dynamic AMM/Memecoin pool

This example shows how to crank an Alpha Vault to purchase the base token from the liquidity pool during the crank period. Alpha Vault would purchase tokens using the SOL or USDC deposited into the Alpha Vault earlier.

import {
  clusterApiUrl,
  Connection,
  Keypair,
  PublicKey,
  sendAndConfirmTransaction,
} from "@solana/web3.js";
import { loadKeypairFromFile } from "./utils";
import { AlphaVault } from "../alpha-vault";
import dotenv from "dotenv";
import { PoolType } from "../alpha-vault/type";

dotenv.config();

async function fillVaultWithDynamicAmm(vault: PublicKey, payer: Keypair) {
  const connection = new Connection(clusterApiUrl("devnet"), "confirmed");

  const alphaVault = await AlphaVault.create(connection, vault);

  console.log(
    "Pool type: ",
    alphaVault.vault.poolType == PoolType.DYNAMIC ? "Dynamic AMM" : "DLMM"
  );

  // Dynamic AMM require only single fill transaction
  const fillVaultWithDynamicAmmTransaction = await alphaVault.fillVault(
    payer.publicKey
  );

  console.log("Fill vault with dynamic AMM");
  const txHash = await sendAndConfirmTransaction(
    connection,
    fillVaultWithDynamicAmmTransaction,
    [payer]
  );
  console.log(txHash);
}

// Alpha vault to be cranked
const vault = new PublicKey("AxRoXRwQgxyaQBMwQsTRrtQ9i9Hd59BKNZBycTcYru5Z");
const payer = loadKeypairFromFile(process.env.KEYPAIR_PATH);

/**
 * This example shows how to crank the vault to purchase base token from the pool, with deposited token from the vault.
 */
fillVaultWithDynamicAmm(vault, payer)
  .then(() => {
    console.log("Done");
  })
  .catch(console.error);

5. Crank Alpha Vault to buy tokens from a DLMM pool

This example shows how to crank an Alpha Vault to purchase the base token from the liquidity pool during the crank period. Alpha Vault would purchase tokens using the SOL or USDC deposited into the Alpha Vault earlier.

import {
  clusterApiUrl,
  Connection,
  Keypair,
  PublicKey,
  sendAndConfirmTransaction,
} from "@solana/web3.js";
import { loadKeypairFromFile } from "./utils";
import { AlphaVault } from "../alpha-vault";
import dotenv from "dotenv";
import { PoolType, VaultMode } from "../alpha-vault/type";

dotenv.config();

async function fillVaultWithDlmm(vault: PublicKey, payer: Keypair) {
  const connection = new Connection(clusterApiUrl("devnet"), "confirmed");

  const alphaVault = await AlphaVault.create(connection, vault);

  console.log(
    "Pool type: ",
    alphaVault.vault.poolType == PoolType.DYNAMIC ? "Dynamic AMM" : "DLMM"
  );

  // DLMM require require one to many transactions
  while (true) {
    const fillVaultWithDLMMTransaction = await alphaVault.fillVault(
      payer.publicKey
    );

    if (!fillVaultWithDLMMTransaction) {
      // Vault bought out the whole pool and still have remaining
      break;
    }

    console.log("Fill vault with DLMM");
    const txHash = await sendAndConfirmTransaction(
      connection,
      fillVaultWithDLMMTransaction,
      [payer]
    );
    console.log(txHash);

    await alphaVault.refreshState();
    const inAmountCap =
      alphaVault.vault.vaultMode == VaultMode.FCFS
        ? alphaVault.vault.totalDeposit
        : alphaVault.vault.totalDeposit.lt(alphaVault.vault.maxBuyingCap)
          ? alphaVault.vault.totalDeposit
          : alphaVault.vault.maxBuyingCap;

    if (inAmountCap.eq(alphaVault.vault.swappedAmount)) {
      break;
    }
  }
}

// Alpha vault to be cranked
const vault = new PublicKey("AxRoXRwQgxyaQBMwQsTRrtQ9i9Hd59BKNZBycTcYru5Z");
const payer = loadKeypairFromFile(process.env.KEYPAIR_PATH);

/**
 * This example shows how to crank the vault to purchase base token from the pool, with deposited token from the vault.
 */
fillVaultWithDlmm(vault, payer)
  .then(() => {
    console.log("Done");
  })
  .catch(console.error);

6. Withdraw unused SOL or USDC from Alpha Vault (only for Pro rata mode)

This example shows how to withdraw unused SOL or USDC deposit from an Alpha Vault after the Alpha Vault has completed the purchase of tokens from the liquidity pool. This is applicable only for Alpha Vault using Pro rata mode.

import {
  clusterApiUrl,
  Connection,
  Keypair,
  PublicKey,
  sendAndConfirmTransaction,
} from "@solana/web3.js";
import { loadKeypairFromFile } from "./utils";
import { AlphaVault } from "../alpha-vault";
import BN from "bn.js";
import dotenv from "dotenv";

dotenv.config();

async function withdrawRemainingFromAlphaVault(
  vault: PublicKey,
  payer: Keypair
) {
  const connection = new Connection(clusterApiUrl("devnet"), "confirmed");

  const alphaVault = await AlphaVault.create(connection, vault);
  const withdrawRemainingTx = await alphaVault.withdrawRemainingQuote(
    payer.publicKey
  );

  console.log(`Withdrawing unused fund`);
  const txHash = await sendAndConfirmTransaction(
    connection,
    withdrawRemainingTx,
    [payer]
  );
  console.log(txHash);

  const escrow = await alphaVault.getEscrow(payer.publicKey);
  console.log("Escrow info");
  console.log(escrow);
}

// Alpha vault to be withdraw / refund from
const vault = new PublicKey("AxRoXRwQgxyaQBMwQsTRrtQ9i9Hd59BKNZBycTcYru5Z");
const payer = loadKeypairFromFile(process.env.KEYPAIR_PATH);

/**
 * This example shows how to withdraw remaining unused deposit from an alpha vault after the vault done buying.
 */
withdrawRemainingFromAlphaVault(vault, payer)
  .then(() => {
    console.log("Done");
  })
  .catch(console.error);

7. Claim Tokens from Alpha Vault

This example shows how to claim tokens from an Alpha Vault after it has purchased those tokens from the liquidity pool. Claiming can only happen after the start of the vesting period.

Important Reminder: Claim start time should NOT be earlier than Pool activation time

For a new token launch, the project should ensure that token claiming from the Alpha Vault is NOT possible before the launch pool trading activation or before the token starts trading anywhere, whether on a Dynamic AMM or DLMM Pool. If users are able to claim tokens before the launch pool/token starts trading, they may create a separate market with a price that deviates from the project's preferred launch price.

import {
  clusterApiUrl,
  Connection,
  Keypair,
  PublicKey,
  sendAndConfirmTransaction,
} from "@solana/web3.js";
import { loadKeypairFromFile } from "./utils";
import { AlphaVault } from "../alpha-vault";
import dotenv from "dotenv";

dotenv.config();

async function claimBoughtTokenFromAlphaVault(
  vault: PublicKey,
  payer: Keypair
) {
  const connection = new Connection(clusterApiUrl("devnet"), "confirmed");

  const alphaVault = await AlphaVault.create(connection, vault);
  const claimTx = await alphaVault.claimToken(payer.publicKey);

  console.log("Claiming bought token");
  const txHash = await sendAndConfirmTransaction(connection, claimTx, [payer]);
  console.log(txHash);

  const escrow = await alphaVault.getEscrow(payer.publicKey);
  console.log("Escrow info");
  console.log(escrow);
}

// Alpha vault to be deposited to
const vault = new PublicKey("AxRoXRwQgxyaQBMwQsTRrtQ9i9Hd59BKNZBycTcYru5Z");
const payer = loadKeypairFromFile(process.env.KEYPAIR_PATH);

/**
 * This example shows how to claim bought token from an alpha vault. Claim can only happen when the vesting start.
 */
claimBoughtTokenFromAlphaVault(vault, payer)
  .then(() => {
    console.log("Done");
  })
  .catch(console.error);

8. Close Escrow Account

When a user deposits to the vault, it will create an escrow account, which stores the user info, such as deposit, claimed token, etc. Once user fully claims all tokens, they can close the escrow account.

Close escrow can only happen after vesting of tokens is complete, and the escrow has claimed all the bought token. This example shows how to close an escrow account and get rental back.

import {
  clusterApiUrl,
  Connection,
  Keypair,
  PublicKey,
  sendAndConfirmTransaction,
} from "@solana/web3.js";
import { loadKeypairFromFile } from "./utils";
import { AlphaVault } from "../alpha-vault";
import dotenv from "dotenv";

dotenv.config();

async function closeEscrow(vault: PublicKey, payer: Keypair) {
  const connection = new Connection(clusterApiUrl("devnet"), "confirmed");

  const alphaVault = await AlphaVault.create(connection, vault);
  const claimTx = await alphaVault.closeEscrow(payer.publicKey);

  console.log("Close escrow");
  const txHash = await sendAndConfirmTransaction(connection, claimTx, [payer]);
  console.log(txHash);
}

// Alpha vault to be deposited to
const vault = new PublicKey("AxRoXRwQgxyaQBMwQsTRrtQ9i9Hd59BKNZBycTcYru5Z");
const payer = loadKeypairFromFile(process.env.KEYPAIR_PATH);

/**
 * This example shows how to close an escrow account and get rental back. Close escrow can only happen after vesting is complete, and escrow have claimed all the bought token.
 */
closeEscrow(vault, payer)
  .then(() => {
    console.log("Done");
  })
  .catch(console.error);

9. Configure Alpha Vault Timings

If you are integrating the Alpha Vault program and need to view and select the predefined timings for the various phases, such as:

• Deposit open time (only for FCFS mode currently)

• Deposit close time

• Vault crank/buy start time

• Vault crank/buy end time

• Withdraw unused USDC or SOL after crank is successful

• Token claim start time

• Vesting start time

• Vesting end time

You can use this config endpoint that has predefined timings created by Meteora.

• Pool config list: https://amm-v2.meteora.ag/swagger-ui/#/pools/get_all_pool_configs

• Vault config list: https://amm-v2.meteora.ag/swagger-ui/#/alpha_vault_config/get_all

If your preferred configs are not available in the predefined config lists above, and you want more customization, please contact the Meteora team.

Config endpoint based on Pool Activation Timing

This config endpoint is tied to the pool activation timing, so all timings for the different Alpha Vault phases is derived from the pool activation timing.

In this example below, the claim process will start 3600 seconds (1 hour) after pool activation, and it will end 7200 seconds (2 hours) after pool activation. In other words, after the pool starts trading, tokens are locked first and released for claiming 3600 seconds (1 hour) later.

{
  maxBuyingCap: new BN(10000000),
  index,
  startVestingDuration: new BN(3600),
  endVestingDuration: new BN(7200),
  escrowFee: new BN(0),
  individualDepositingCap: new BN(50000),
  activationType: ActivationType.TIMESTAMP,
  depositingPoint: new BN(1028979080),
}

10. Considerations for Slot Parameters

Timeline in slot:

• depositing_slot -> last_join_slot -> pre_activation_lot -> activation_slot -> start_vesting_slot -> end_vesting_slot

• curr_point (current_slot) < pre_activation_point

• Alpha Vault will start to buy from the pool from pre_activation_point

Constraints:

• depositing_slot + 3000 <= last_join_slot

• last_join_slot > current_slot

• last_join_slot + 750 = pre_activation_lost

• pre_activation_lot + 9000 = activation_slot

• activation_slot < start_vesting_slot

• end_vesting_slot >= start_vesting_slot

Program parameters requires user to submit: depositing_slot + activation_slot + start_vesting_slot + end_vesting_slot

Tips:

• get current_slot

• set activation_slot = current_slot + 9000 + 750 + (some buffer if you prefer)

• set depositing_slot = activation_slot - 9000 - 3000 - 750 - (some buffer if you prefer)

• set end_vesting_slot >= start_vesting_slot > activation_slot

In timestamp, conversion:

3000 = 20 minutes

750 = 5 minutes

9000 = 1 hour

Note for Quote mint:

• New endpoint only supports wSOL or USDC as Quote mint on mainnet.

• Devnet has more flexibility regarding the Quote mint; please reach out to the team.

11. Important Reminders

A) Claim start time should NOT be earlier than Pool activation time

For a new token launch, the project should ensure that token claiming from the Alpha Vault is NOT possible before the launch pool trading activation or before the token starts trading anywhere, whether on a Dynamic AMM or DLMM Pool. If users are able to claim tokens before the launch pool/token starts trading, they may create a separate market with a price that deviates from the project's preferred launch price.

B) For Memecoins that want to permanently lock liquidity, lock it before Pool activation time

If the Alpha Vault is used for a Memecoin launch pool, and the project wants to permanently lock liquidity in the Memecoin pool, they should ideally lock the liquidity BEFORE the pool starts trading, so that swap fees from locked liquidity are captured the second trading starts.

In a scenario where:

• The pool started trading - t0

• Liquidity gets deposited to the pool by the project, but not locked - t1

• Subsequently, that liquidity is permanently locked by the project - t2

The project will not be able to claim swap fees earned from t1 to t2, since fees from t1 to t2 are assigned to the LP token before the LP token gets permanently locked. When the LP token gets locked, the earlier fees are locked along with it.

The project will only be able to claim swap fees from locked liquidity starting from t2.

C) Quote token must be SOL or USDC

Only SOL or USDC is accepted as the quote token when initializing a Dynamic AMM or DLMM Pool with Alpha Vault.
