Meteora Protocol Development Guide

A comprehensive guide for building Solana DeFi applications with Meteora's suite of SDKs - the leading liquidity infrastructure on Solana.

What is Meteora?

Meteora is Solana's premier liquidity layer, powering the infrastructure that connects liquidity providers (LPs), token launchers, and traders. It offers:

• $2B+ Total Value Locked across all protocols
• Multiple AMM Types - DLMM (concentrated), DAMM v2/v1 (constant product)
• Token Launch Infrastructure - Dynamic Bonding Curves, Alpha Vault anti-bot protection
• Yield Optimization - Dynamic Vaults, Stake-for-Fee (M3M3)
• Developer Tools - TypeScript/Go SDKs, CLI tools, Zap for single-token entry

Why Use Meteora?

| Feature | Benefit | |---------|---------| | Low Pool Creation Cost | 0.022 SOL (vs 0.25+ SOL on competitors) | | Dynamic Fees | Volatility-adjusted fees maximize LP returns | | Anti-Snipe Protection | Fee schedulers and Alpha Vault prevent bot exploitation | | Token-2022 Support | Full Token Extensions compatibility | | Permissionless | Create pools, farms, and launches without approval | | Auto-Graduation | Bonding curves auto-migrate to AMM pools |

DLMM SDK (Dynamic Liquidity Market Maker)

The DLMM SDK provides programmatic access to Meteora's concentrated liquidity protocol with dynamic fees based on volatility.

Basic Setup

import { Connection, PublicKey, Keypair } from '@solana/web3.js';
import DLMM from '@meteora-ag/dlmm';

const connection = new Connection('https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com');
const poolAddress = new PublicKey('POOL_ADDRESS');

// Create DLMM instance for existing pool
const dlmm = await DLMM.create(connection, poolAddress);

// Create multiple pools
const dlmmPools = await DLMM.createMultiple(connection, [pool1, pool2, pool3]);

Core Operations

Get Active Bin (Current Price)

const activeBin = await dlmm.getActiveBin();
console.log('Active Bin ID:', activeBin.binId);
console.log('Price:', activeBin.price);
console.log('X Amount:', activeBin.xAmount.toString());
console.log('Y Amount:', activeBin.yAmount.toString());

Price and Bin Conversions

// Get price from bin ID
const price = dlmm.getPriceOfBinByBinId(binId);

// Get bin ID from price
const binId = dlmm.getBinIdFromPrice(price, true); // true = round down

// Convert to/from lamport representation
const lamportPrice = dlmm.toPricePerLamport(21.23);
const realPrice = dlmm.fromPricePerLamport(lamportPrice);

// Get bins in a range
const bins = await dlmm.getBinsBetweenLowerAndUpperBound(minBinId, maxBinId);

// Get bins around active bin
const surroundingBins = await dlmm.getBinsAroundActiveBin(10); // 10 bins each side

Swap Operations

import { BN } from '@coral-xyz/anchor';

// Get swap quote
const swapAmount = new BN(1_000_000); // 1 USDC (6 decimals)
const swapForY = true; // Swap X for Y
const slippageBps = 100; // 1% slippage

const binArrays = await dlmm.getBinArrayForSwap(swapForY);
const swapQuote = dlmm.swapQuote(swapAmount, swapForY, slippageBps, binArrays);

console.log('Amount In:', swapQuote.consumedInAmount.toString());
console.log('Amount Out:', swapQuote.outAmount.toString());
console.log('Min Amount Out:', swapQuote.minOutAmount.toString());
console.log('Price Impact:', swapQuote.priceImpact);
console.log('Fee:', swapQuote.fee.toString());

// Execute swap
const swapTx = await dlmm.swap({
  inToken: tokenXMint,
  outToken: tokenYMint,
  inAmount: swapAmount,
  minOutAmount: swapQuote.minOutAmount,
  lbPair: dlmm.pubkey,
  user: wallet.publicKey,
  binArraysPubkey: swapQuote.binArraysPubkey,
});

const txHash = await sendAndConfirmTransaction(connection, swapTx, [wallet]);

Liquidity Management

import { StrategyType } from '@meteora-ag/dlmm';

// Get user positions
const positions = await dlmm.getPositionsByUserAndLbPair(wallet.publicKey);

// Initialize position and add liquidity with strategy
const newPositionTx = await dlmm.initializePositionAndAddLiquidityByStrategy({
  positionPubKey: newPositionKeypair.publicKey,
  user: wallet.publicKey,
  totalXAmount: new BN(100_000_000), // 100 tokens
  totalYAmount: new BN(100_000_000),
  strategy: {
    maxBinId: activeBin.binId + 10,
    minBinId: activeBin.binId - 10,
    strategyType: StrategyType.SpotBalanced,
  },
});

// Add liquidity to existing position
const addLiquidityTx = await dlmm.addLiquidityByStrategy({
  positionPubKey: existingPosition.publicKey,
  user: wallet.publicKey,
  totalXAmount: new BN(50_000_000),
  totalYAmount: new BN(50_000_000),
  strategy: {
    maxBinId: activeBin.binId + 5,
    minBinId: activeBin.binId - 5,
    strategyType: StrategyType.SpotBalanced,
  },
});

// Remove liquidity
const removeLiquidityTx = await dlmm.removeLiquidity({
  position: position.publicKey,
  user: wallet.publicKey,
  binIds: position.positionData.positionBinData.map(b => b.binId),
  bps: new BN(10000), // 100% (basis points)
  shouldClaimAndClose: true,
});

Claim Fees and Rewards

// Get claimable fees
const claimableFees = await DLMM.getClaimableSwapFee(connection, position.publicKey);
console.log('Claimable Fee X:', claimableFees.feeX.toString());
console.log('Claimable Fee Y:', claimableFees.feeY.toString());

// Get claimable LM rewards
const claimableRewards = await DLMM.getClaimableLMReward(connection, position.publicKey);

// Claim swap fees
const claimFeeTx = await dlmm.claimSwapFee({
  owner: wallet.publicKey,
  position: position.publicKey,
});

// Claim all fees from multiple positions
const claimAllFeesTx = await dlmm.claimAllSwapFee({
  owner: wallet.publicKey,
  positions: positions.map(p => p.publicKey),
});

// Claim LM rewards
const claimRewardTx = await dlmm.claimLMReward({
  owner: wallet.publicKey,
  position: position.publicKey,
});

// Claim all rewards
const claimAllTx = await dlmm.claimAllRewards({
  owner: wallet.publicKey,
  positions: positions.map(p => p.publicKey),
});

Position Strategies

import { StrategyType } from '@meteora-ag/dlmm';

// Available strategies
StrategyType.SpotOneSide      // Single-sided liquidity at current price
StrategyType.CurveOneSide     // Curve distribution on one side
StrategyType.BidAskOneSide    // Bid/ask distribution on one side
StrategyType.SpotBalanced     // Balanced around current price
StrategyType.CurveBalanced    // Curve distribution around current price
StrategyType.BidAskBalanced   // Bid/ask distribution around current price
StrategyType.SpotImBalanced   // Imbalanced spot distribution
StrategyType.CurveImBalanced  // Imbalanced curve distribution
StrategyType.BidAskImBalanced // Imbalanced bid/ask distribution

DAMM v2 SDK (CP-AMM)

The DAMM v2 SDK provides a comprehensive interface for Meteora's next-generation constant product AMM with significant improvements over V1.

Key DAMM V2 Features (New in 2025)

| Feature | Description | |---------|-------------| | Dynamic Fees | Optional fee scheduler with anti-sniper mechanism | | Position NFTs | LPs receive transferrable NFT instead of LP token | | Token2022 Support | Full support for Token Extensions standard | | Locked Liquidity | Built-in liquidity locking options | | Permissionless Farms | Create farms without protocol approval | | Lower Costs | Pool creation costs only 0.022 SOL (vs 0.25 SOL on old DLMM) |

Fee Scheduler (Anti-Snipe)

The fee scheduler starts with high swap fees that taper over time, protecting against sniping:

// Create pool with fee scheduler
const createPoolTx = await cpAmm.createCustomPool({
  // ... other params
  poolFees: {
    baseFee: {
      cliffFeeNumerator: new BN(10000000), // 1% initial fee
      numberOfPeriod: 10,
      reductionFactor: new BN(500000),     // Reduce by 0.05% each period
      periodFrequency: new BN(300),        // Every 5 minutes
      feeSchedulerMode: 1,                 // Linear reduction
    },
    // ...
  },
});

Basic Setup

import { Connection } from '@solana/web3.js';
import { CpAmm } from '@meteora-ag/cp-amm-sdk';

const connection = new Connection('https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com');
const cpAmm = new CpAmm(connection);

  tokenBAmount: new BN(1_000_000_000),
});

// Create custom pool with specific parameters
const createCustomPoolTx = await cpAmm.createCustomPool({
