Solana Jupiter Trading Bot
This is a simple demo uses Jupiter\'s v6 API and QuickNode\'s Metis add-on to create a simple Solana trading bot. The bot monitors price differences between token pairs and executes trades when profitable opportunities arise.

Getting Started
Install Dependencies
Open the project dictory:
cd solana/jupiter-bot
Then, install the dependencies:
npm install
# or
yarn
# or
pnpm install
# or
bun install
Set Environment Variables
Make sure you have a QuickNode endpoint handy--you can get one free here.
- Rename
.env.exampleto.envand update with your QuickNode Solana Node Endpoint. - Specify your
SECRET_KEY(the private key of the wallet you want to use for the bot) -- you can generate a new one withsolana-keygen newcommand using the Solana CLI. - Specify your
SOLANA_ENDPOINT(get one here) andMETIS_ENDPOINT(get one here) or use the public endpoint,https://public.jupiterapi.com.
SECRET_KEY=[00, 00, 00, ... 00, 00, 00]
SOLANA_ENDPOINT=https://example.solana-mainnet.quiknode.pro/x123456/
METIS_ENDPOINT=https://public.jupiterapi.com
Ensure your wallet is funded and modify the trading strategy in bot.ts to suit your needs.
First, run the development server:
npm run start
# or
yarn start
# or
pnpm start
# or
bun start
How it Works
Architecture
- bot.ts # Main bot logic
- index.ts # Entry point
- .env # Environment variables
- package.json # Dependencies
ArbBot Class
The main class that handles all trading logic:
- constructor: Sets up the bot with configuration parameters including RPC endpoints, wallet details, and trading parameters
- init: Initializes the bot by checking wallet balances and starting the price monitoring
- initiatePriceWatch: Creates an interval to regularly check for arbitrage opportunities
- getQuote: Fetches current price quotes from Jupiter Exchange
- evaluateQuoteAndSwap: Analyzes quotes to determine if they meet profit thresholds
- executeSwap: Handles the creation and submission of swap transactions
- refreshBalances: Updates the current SOL and USDC balances
- logSwap: Records successful trades to a JSON file
- updateNextTrade: Prepares for the next trade after a successful swap
- terminateSession: Safely shuts down the bot when conditions require it
- instructionDataToTransactionInstruction: Converts Jupiter API instruction format to Solana transaction instructions
- getAdressLookupTableAccounts: Fetches address lookup tables for optimized transactions
- postTransactionProcessing: Handles tasks after a successful transaction
Main Application
A simple runner script that:
- Loads environment variables
- Creates an instance of the ArbBot with configuration
- Initializes and starts the bot
Example Trading Strategy
The bot uses a simple arbitrage strategy:
- Start with an initial token (USDC or SOL)
- Execute a trade when the price exceeds the target threshold
- Update parameters for the reverse trade with a profit margin
- Continue the cycle as long as profitable opportunities exist
