/ CRYPTOCURRENCY / By

Adding a Pyth dependency to your Solana project using the V1 SDK

As a developer working with Solana, you are probably familiar with the popular Anchor framework and its integration with various libraries, including Pyth’s Solana SDK. In this article, we will walk you through the process of adding a Pyth dependency to your Solana project using the V1 SDK.

Prerequisites

  • Have Anchor installed and configured in your project.
  • Install Rust and Cargo (the Rust package manager) if you haven’t already.
  • Create a new directory for your project and navigate to it.
  • Initialize a new Rust project using cargo init followed by cargo add Anchor to enable Anchor support.

Reproduce the issue

You have already reproduced the issue:

  • You have built a project using the Anchor + V1 Solana SDK.
  • Pyth dependency is installed and available in your crate.
  • You tried to use AVM (Arbitrum Virtual Machine) version 0.29.0.

Solution: Using Pyth-Solana-Receiver-SDK

To add a Pyth dependency to your project, you can follow these steps:

  • Add the Pyth Solana Receiver SDK as a dependency: Run cargo add pyth-solana-receiver-sdk in your terminal.
  • Update crate dependencies

    : Open your Cargo.toml file and update the [dependencies] section to include pyth-solana-receiver-sdk:

[dependencies]
anchor = "0.11.1"
pyth-solana-receiver-sdk = "0.3.2"

  • Install the Pyth Solana SDK: Run cargo install pyth-sdk to ensure that the correct version of the Pyth Solana SDK is used.
  • Verify configuration: Run rustc --edition=2021 your_project.rs and verify that AVM is configured correctly using the Pyth-Solana-Receiver-SDK.

Sample Code

Here is an example of how you can use the Pyth Solana Receiver SDK with Anchor:

use Anchor_lang::prelude::*;
use pyth_solana_receiver ::{PythSolanaReceiver, PythSolanaAddress};
// Define a new Anchor program
#[program]
pub fn thin (
mut get_account: GetAccount,
accounts: Accounts,
) -> Result<()> {
// Create a new instance of the Pyth Solana receiver
let receiver = PythSolanaReceiver::new(&get_account.key, &accounts);
// Set the Pyth Solana address
let pyth_address = receiver.set_pyth_address(None) ?;
ok(())
}

Next Steps

With this setup in place, you are now ready to use the Pyth dependency in your Solana project. You can explore more advanced features of Pyth-Solana-Receiver-SDK by checking out the official documentation and exploring sample applications.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you have successfully added the Pyth dependency to your Solana project using the V1 SDK with Anchor. This guide has provided a complete solution to get Pyth-Solana-Receiver-sdk working in your application. If you have any questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!
