The below is a light overview of using Solana and Drift's typescript sdk. If you want comprehensive docs with examples of how to integrate with Drift you should use the v2-teacher docs.

$3

`bash


Generate a keypair

solana-keygen new

Get the pubkey for the new wallet (You will need to send USDC to this address to Deposit into Drift (only on mainnet - devnet has a faucet for USDC))

solana address

Put the private key into your .env to be used by your bot

cd {projectLocation}
echo BOT_PRIVATE_KEY=cat ~/.config/solana/id.json >> .env
`

Concepts

The Drift SDK uses BigNum (BN), using this package, to represent numerical values. This is because Solana tokens tend to use levels of precision which are too precise for standard Javascript floating point numbers to handle. All numbers in BN are represented as integers, and we will often denote the precision of the number so that it can be converted back down to a regular number.

`bash
Example:
a BigNum: 10,500,000, with precision 10^6, is equal to 10.5 because 10,500,000 / 10^6 = 10.5.
`

The Drift SDK uses some common precisions, which are available as constants to import from the SDK.

| Precision Name | Value |
| --------------------- | ----- |
| FUNDING_RATE_BUFFER | 10^3 |
| QUOTE_PRECISION | 10^6 |
| PEG_PRECISION | 10^6 |
| PRICE_PRECISION | 10^6 |
| AMM_RESERVE_PRECISION | 10^9 |
| BASE_PRECISION | 10^9 |

Important Note for BigNum division

Because BN only supports integers, you need to be conscious of the numbers you are using when dividing. BN will return the floor when using the regular division function; if you want to get the exact division, you need to add the modulus of the two numbers as well. There is a helper function convertToNumber in the SDK which will do this for you.

`typescript
import {convertToNumber} from @drift-labs/sdk

// Gets the floor value
new BN(10500).div(new BN(1000)).toNumber(); // = 10

// Gets the exact value
new BN(10500).div(new BN(1000)).toNumber() + BN(10500).mod(new BN(1000)).toNumber(); // = 10.5

// Also gets the exact value
convertToNumber(new BN(10500), new BN(1000)); // = 10.5
`
