After creating your vault, you need to set up strategies so funds can be deployed to DeFi protocols. This is a two-step process:
  1. Add the adaptor to your vault (one-time per adaptor program, you may skip this if you have done so on the UI)
  2. Initialize the strategy for each specific protocol/market you want to deploy to
Vault creation ≠ Strategy initialization. A newly created vault has no strategies. Deposited funds will sit idle until you complete the steps in this guide.

​
Key Concepts

​
Adaptors vs. Strategies

  • Adaptor: An on-chain program that knows how to interact with a category of protocols (e.g., the Kamino adaptor interacts with Kamino, Drift adaptor interacts with Drift…)
  • Strategy: A specific deployment target within an adaptor (e.g., “lend USDC on Kamino Main Market”)
A vault can have multiple strategies across multiple adaptors.

​
Adaptor Program IDs

Each adaptor has a unique on-chain program ID: 
import {
  LENDING_ADAPTOR_PROGRAM_ID,
  DRIFT_ADAPTOR_PROGRAM_ID,
} from "@voltr/vault-sdk";

LENDING_ADAPTOR_PROGRAM_ID and DRIFT_ADAPTOR_PROGRAM_ID are exported directly from the SDK. For other adaptors (Kamino, Jupiter, Raydium, Trustful), check the respective script repositories for their program IDs.

Step 1: Add Adaptor

Before initializing any strategy, you must add the corresponding adaptor program to your vault. This is a one-time operation per adaptor type. 
import { VoltrClient } from "@voltr/vault-sdk";
import {
  Connection,
  Keypair,
  PublicKey,
  sendAndConfirmTransaction,
} from "@solana/web3.js";
import fs from "fs";

const connection = new Connection("your-rpc-url");
const client = new VoltrClient(connection);

const adminKp = Keypair.fromSecretKey(
  Uint8Array.from(JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync("/path/to/admin.json", "utf-8")))
);

const vault = new PublicKey("your-vault-pubkey");
const adaptorProgramId = new PublicKey("adaptor-program-id");

const addAdaptorIx = await client.createAddAdaptorIx({
  vault,
  admin: adminKp.publicKey,
  payer: adminKp.publicKey,
  adaptorProgram: adaptorProgramId,
});

const txSig = await sendAndConfirmTransaction(
  [addAdaptorIx],
  connection,
  [adminKp]
);

console.log("Adaptor added:", txSig);

​
Step 2: Initialize Strategy

Strategy initialization is protocol-specific — each protocol requires different remaining accounts and an instructionDiscriminator.

Generic Code Snippet

import { VoltrClient } from "@voltr/vault-sdk";
import { Connection, Keypair, PublicKey } from "@solana/web3.js";

const connection = new Connection("your-rpc-url");
const client = new VoltrClient(connection);

const adminKp = Keypair.fromSecretKey(/* ... */);
const managerKp = Keypair.fromSecretKey(/* ... */);
const vault = new PublicKey("your-vault-pubkey");
const strategy = new PublicKey("strategy-pda");
const adaptorProgram = new PublicKey("adaptor-program-id");

const instructionDiscriminator = Buffer.from([/* 8-byte discriminator */]);

const initStrategyIx = await client.createInitializeStrategyIx(
  {
    instructionDiscriminator,
  },
  {
    payer: adminKp.publicKey,
    manager: managerKp.publicKey,
    vault,
    strategy,
    adaptorProgram,
    remainingAccounts: [
      // Protocol-specific accounts
    ],
  }
);

const txSig = await sendAndConfirmTransaction(
  [initStrategyIx],
  connection,
  [adminKp]
);
The instructionDiscriminator, strategy address, and remainingAccounts are all protocol-specific. Use the initialization scripts from the protocol repositories below as reference implementations.
