Swaps

Section titled “Swaps”

A Solana swap quoted by Chord is SOL against one token, bought or sold. For every quote Chord builds, at the same moment, the transaction of each route below for your wallet, simulates it on the chain, and reads what your wallet would end up with: tokens for a buy, SOL for a sell, after every fee. You get the route that leaves you with the most.

route What it is
direct Chord’s own router. It builds the swap itself, from the pool accounts, on Raydium AMM v4, CPMM and CLMM, Orca Whirlpool, Meteora DLMM and DAMM v2, and the launch curves Meteora DBC, Raydium LaunchLab, pump.fun and PumpSwap. Pools come from Chord’s tape; a large order can be split over two pools (hops). No third party in the path.
jupiter Jupiter’s swap API (Metis), without Jupiter’s fee.
jupiter_meta Jupiter’s order: Metis, Jupiter’s RFQ market makers, DFlow and OKX bid for it. Jupiter’s fee is inside the amount; on RFQ and gasless orders Jupiter or the market maker pays the network fee (gasless: true).

So a swap through Chord gets Jupiter’s price whenever Jupiter is better (majors, where most of the liquidity sits in prop AMMs and market makers only Jupiter reaches), and Chord’s own route when it is as good (ties go to direct, then jupiter), when Jupiter has no route yet for a new token, or when Jupiter is down or rate-limited. compared in the answer shows what every route offered. A route that would hand back less than half of the input’s market value is refused.

Status. Open to everyone since 2026-10-15 21:25 UTC, no key needed (an X-API-Key raises the rate limit, as everywhere else). GET /v1/sol/trade/config says, for the caller, whether the lane is enabled, open to everyone, and allowed for you. Chord takes no fee on Solana today (feeBps: 0); Jupiter’s own fee applies on jupiter_meta quotes and is already inside the amount.

One swap, step by step. Amounts are base units as decimal strings: lamports for SOL, the token’s smallest unit otherwise.

  1. GET /v1/sol/trade/quote?mint=&side=buy|sell&amount=&wallet=&slippageBps=100 — amount is lamports for a buy, tokens (smallest unit) for a sell. The answer’s quote.tx is an unsigned v0 transaction, base64, exactly the one simulated; outAmount is what the simulation delivered, minOut the least the transaction accepts.
  2. Sign quote.tx unchanged with the wallet. On jupiter_meta the wallet can be the second signer, not the fee payer.
  3. POST /v1/sol/trade/send with { "tx": "<signed, base64>" }. Chord relays only a transaction it quoted in the last three minutes, signed by the wallet it quoted; jupiter_meta orders go through Jupiter’s execute endpoint.
  4. Poll GET /v1/sol/trade/tx/{signature}: pending, then confirmed / finalized (with receivedOut, read from the chain with the same measure as the quote), failed or expired.

An RFQ quote carries expireAt (Unix seconds) and lives a few seconds: ask again when fewer than ten seconds are left. GET /v1/sol/trade/balances?wallet=&mint= and /holdings?wallet= give the wallet’s SOL and token balances for a swap form.

Not covered. Token ↔ token (SOL is always one side). Chord’s own route does not go through a second pool (token → USDC → SOL) or reach prop AMMs and RFQ makers: for those tokens and sizes the Jupiter routes win and are what you get.

What the tape reads

Section titled “What the tape reads”

Chord decodes the swap events of 11 venues straight from Solana blocks, and checks every swap against the pool vaults’ balance changes in the same transaction:

PumpSwap · pump.fun bonding curve · Meteora DBC · Meteora DAMM v2 · Meteora DLMM · Meteora pools (dynamic AMM v1) · Raydium CLMM · Raydium CPMM · Raydium AMM v4 · Raydium LaunchLab · Orca Whirlpool

Venue ids in responses: pumpswap · pumpfun · meteora_dbc · meteora_damm_v2 · meteora_dlmm · meteora_pools · raydium_clmm · raydium_cpmm · raydium_v4 · raydium_launchlab · orca.

What it does not read

Section titled “What it does not read”
  • Prop AMMs (SolFi, HumidiFi and the like) and order books. Most SOL/USDC and other major-pair flow runs there, so those pairs show far less volume on Chord than on an all-market source. The tape is accurate for pump.fun, Meteora and Raydium style tokens; do not use it for a market-wide SOL volume.
  • Transfers. A wallet’s PnL is average cost over the swaps inside the window. A token that arrived by transfer, or was bought before the window, and is then sold shows up as a sell without a buy: the position is marked partial: true and those sells carry no realized PnL. heldAmount is bought minus sold inside the window, never the on-chain balance.

Coverage and freshness

Section titled “Coverage and freshness”
  • Totals are complete from coverageSince (Unix seconds, on /overview) to now; a “24 hours” window never starts before it (coverageHours under 24 = a partial day). Quote that field rather than a date.
  • GET /v1/chains/solana/status is the ingest’s own health: ok, lagSlots, blockAgeS (age of the newest block written), swaps per minute, per-venue decode counters. A false ok or a large blockAgeS means every other route is behind by that much: say so when you show the numbers.
  • Boards and stats are cached for 10 to 30 seconds, the trader board for 5 minutes.

Addresses, units, names

Section titled “Addresses, units, names”
  • Never lower-case a Solana address. Base58 is case-sensitive: a lower-cased mint is another string, refused with 400 BAD_ADDRESS when it is no longer valid base58 and answered 404 TOKEN_NOT_FOUND otherwise. EVM validators (0x + 40 hex) do not apply.
  • Amounts are whole units: tokenAmount, heldAmount, supply are in tokens with decimals applied; quoteAmount is in whole units of the pool’s quote (SOL, USDC, USDT, or the other token of a token-to-token pool — see pools[].quote). Prices and *Usd fields are US dollars.
  • Every timestamp is Unix seconds, updatedAt included (elsewhere in the API updatedAt is milliseconds).
  • symbol, name and image are whatever the token’s creator wrote. Many mints share a symbol: identify a token by its mint.
  • Most of Solana’s busiest tokens are wallets trading with themselves. On 13 and 14 October 2026, about two thirds of the 400 most traded tokens on the tape (some 70 % of their volume) had under 3 % of their volume from wallets that went one way. The token boards leave out such volume-bot tapes, and tickers that imitate SOL, USDC or USDT on another mint: screened says how many and how much volume, every row carries oneWayPct (the share of 24-hour volume from wallets that bought or sold, not both at about the same size), /chains/solana/token/{address} carries flow24h and search rows carry screen. A low oneWayPct on a row that is shown (a deep market whose flow is mostly arbitrage) still means its volume is not demand.

Paging

Section titled “Paging”

/trades routes take before (Unix seconds, exclusive). Pass the last row’s ts for the next page; several swaps can share one second, so overlap with ts + 1 and drop rows whose tx you already hold. A token’s page looks back at most two days from before, a wallet’s at most seven.
