This section contains guides for executing token swaps on the Solana blockchain using the DeFrame API.

Guides

• How to Get a Quote - Learn how to request swap quotes for Solana

• How to Execute a Swap - Learn how to execute swaps using transaction data

API Structure

Note: Solana swaps use a different API structure than EVM chains. The Solana API uses the /strategies/:id endpoints, while EVM chains use the dedicated /swap/quote and /swap/bytecode endpoints.

Features

• Solana Native: Optimized for Solana's unique architecture

• Multiple AMM Protocols: Support for Raydium, Orca, and other Solana AMMs

• Automatic Route Finding: Find the best swap route across available protocols

• Associated Token Account (ATA) Management: Automatic ATA creation and management

• Lamports Support: Native support for Solana's lamport precision

Important Notes

• All amounts use lamports (1 SOL = 1,000,000,000 lamports)

• Token mints are used instead of contract addresses

• Transaction fees are paid in SOL

• Associated Token Accounts (ATAs) are automatically handled

• Fast block times require careful slippage management
