Alpha Vault CPI Integration - Meteora Documentation

Enable the cpi feature to call Alpha Vault from another Anchor program:

[dependencies]
alpha-vault = { path = "../alpha-vault/programs/alpha-vault", features = ["cpi"] }

CPI Pattern

Anchor generates a CPI module for the program instructions. Account structs use the same names as the instruction contexts in the Alpha Vault source.

use alpha_vault::cpi;
use alpha_vault::cpi::accounts::DepositCtx;
use alpha_vault::program::AlphaVault;
use anchor_lang::prelude::*;

pub fn deposit_into_alpha_vault<'info>(
    ctx: Context<'_, '_, '_, 'info, YourDepositCtx<'info>>,
    max_amount: u64,
) -> Result<()> {
    let cpi_program = ctx.accounts.alpha_vault_program.to_account_info();
    let cpi_accounts = DepositCtx {
        vault: ctx.accounts.vault.to_account_info(),
        pool: ctx.accounts.pool.to_account_info(),
        escrow: ctx.accounts.escrow.to_account_info(),
        source_token: ctx.accounts.source_token.to_account_info(),
        token_vault: ctx.accounts.token_vault.to_account_info(),
        token_mint: ctx.accounts.token_mint.to_account_info(),
        token_program: ctx.accounts.token_program.to_account_info(),
        owner: ctx.accounts.owner.to_account_info(),
    };

    cpi::deposit(CpiContext::new(cpi_program, cpi_accounts), max_amount)
}

Instructions marked with #[event_cpi] require the event-CPI accounts generated by Anchor. If you construct CPI calls manually, include the generated event authority and program accounts expected by the IDL.

Common CPI Calls

CPI call	Account context	Parameters	Notes
`cpi::create_new_escrow`	`CreateNewEscrowCtx`	None	Permissionless only. Runs during the deposit window.
`cpi::create_permissioned_escrow`	`CreatePermissionedEscrowWithMerkleProofCtx`	`max_cap`, `proof`	Verifies wallet cap proof against `MerkleRootConfig`.
`cpi::create_permissioned_escrow_with_authority`	`CreatePermissionedEscrowWithAuthorityCtx`	`max_cap`	Payer must equal `vault_authority`.
`cpi::deposit`	`DepositCtx`	`max_amount`	Owner signer transfers quote into the vault token account.
`cpi::withdraw`	`WithdrawCtx`	`amount`	Pro Rata only. Can withdraw deposits or overflow depending on current time point.
`cpi::withdraw_remaining_quote`	`WithdrawRemainingQuoteCtx`	None	Runs after the buying window and marks the escrow refunded.
`cpi::claim_token`	`ClaimTokenCtx`	None	Runs after `start_vesting_point`.
`cpi::close_escrow`	`CloseEscrowCtx`	None	Requires the escrow to be closable.
`cpi::fill_dlmm`	`FillDlmmCtx`	`max_amount`, `remaining_accounts_info`	Requires DLMM bin array and transfer-hook remaining accounts when applicable.
`cpi::fill_dynamic_amm`	`FillDynamicAmmCtx`	`max_amount`	Calls Dynamic AMM / DAMM v1.
`cpi::fill_damm_v2`	`FillDammV2Ctx`	`max_amount`	Calls DAMM v2.

Account Requirements

Flow	Required signer	Important accounts
Escrow creation, permissionless	`payer`	`vault`, `pool`, escrow PDA, owner, optional treasury fee receiver.
Escrow creation, Merkle proof	`payer`	`vault`, `pool`, escrow PDA, owner, `merkle_root_config`, optional treasury fee receiver.
Escrow creation, authority	`payer` equal to `vault_authority`	`vault`, `pool`, escrow PDA, owner.
User deposit	`owner`	Owner quote token source, vault quote token ATA, quote mint, token program.
User withdraw or refund	`owner`	User quote destination, vault quote token ATA, quote mint, token program.
User claim	`owner`	User base destination, vault base token ATA, base mint, token program.
Fill	`cranker`	Vault quote and base token accounts, connected pool-specific accounts, optional crank whitelist, optional treasury fee receiver.

Remaining Accounts

Situation	Remaining accounts
Destination account requires Token 2022 memo transfer	Pass the memo program first for `withdraw`, `withdraw_remaining_quote`, or `claim_token`.
DLMM fill with Token 2022 transfer hooks	Pass the transfer-hook accounts described by `RemainingAccountsInfo`, followed by writable bin array accounts.
Dynamic AMM fill	No Alpha Vault-specific remaining accounts are read by the handler.
DAMM v2 fill	No Alpha Vault-specific remaining accounts are read by the handler.

Common CPI Failures

Error area	CPI-side fix
Pool type mismatch	Call the fill instruction matching `vault.pool_type`.
Time window mismatch	Read the connected pool timing and vault timing before sending CPI.
Missing treasury	Pass the treasury as `crank_fee_receiver` or `escrow_fee_receiver` when no valid whitelist removes the fee path.
Permission mode mismatch	Use the escrow creation instruction that matches `vault.whitelist_mode`.
Token 2022 transfer fee	Pass max amounts in raw token units and expect credited amounts to be transfer-fee excluded.

Best Practices

Check	Detail
Prefer generated bindings	Use the local Anchor crate with the `cpi` feature or generated IDL bindings. Avoid hand-typing account order from memory.
Compare with the SDK	Build the same flow with `@meteora-ag/alpha-vault` and compare account metas, signers, writable flags, and optional accounts.
Read vault state first	Load `Vault` before deciding the flow. Validate `vault_mode`, `whitelist_mode`, `pool_type`, token vaults, mints, and authority from account state.
Respect pool timing	Read the connected pool timing before deposits, fills, refunds, and claims. Alpha Vault actions are gated by both vault points and pool pre-activation points.
Keep pool type explicit	Route fills by `vault.pool_type`: DLMM, Dynamic AMM / DAMM v1, or DAMM v2. Each path has a different account set.
Treat Merkle caps as state	For Merkle-proof vaults, verify the proof off-chain before sending CPI and use the same `max_cap` passed to the program.
Plan fee accounts	Permissionless escrow creation and non-whitelisted fills can require the Alpha Vault treasury. Permissioned vaults must not charge escrow fees.
Handle once-only actions	`withdraw_remaining_quote` marks the escrow refunded. Escrow close also depends on claims, refunds, and overflow withdrawals being complete.
Simulate Token 2022 paths	Transfer-fee mints change credited amounts, and memo-required destination accounts need the memo program in remaining accounts. DLMM transfer hooks need matching remaining-account slices.
Test every mode you support	Pro Rata and FCFS differ in deposits, withdrawals, caps, overflow behavior, and swappable amounts. Permissionless, Merkle, and authority access also differ.

Testing

Use the local Alpha Vault test suite as a reference for account metas and edge cases:

cd alpha-vault
anchor build
anchor test

Add CPI caller tests that cover at least one successful path and one expected failure path for each vault mode, whitelist mode, and pool type your integration supports.
