The Solana plugin provides comprehensive integration with the Solana blockchain, enabling AI agents to manage wallets, transfer tokens, perform swaps, and track portfolios with real-time market data.

​
Features

  • Native SOL & SPL Tokens: Transfer SOL and any SPL token
  • DeFi Integration: Token swaps via Jupiter aggregator
  • Portfolio Management: Real-time balance tracking with USD valuations
  • Market Data: Live price feeds for SOL, BTC, ETH, and SPL tokens
  • AI-Powered: Natural language understanding for all operations
  • WebSocket Support: Real-time account monitoring and updates

​
Installation

elizaos plugins add solana

​
Configuration

The plugin requires the following environment variables: 
# Required - Wallet Configuration
SOLANA_PRIVATE_KEY=your_base58_private_key_here
# OR
SOLANA_PUBLIC_KEY=your_public_key_here  # For read-only mode

# Optional - RPC Configuration
SOLANA_RPC_URL=https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com
HELIUS_API_KEY=your_helius_api_key

# Optional - Market Data
BIRDEYE_API_KEY=your_birdeye_api_key

# Optional - AI Service
OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key  # For enhanced parsing

​
Usage

import { solanaPlugin } from '@elizaos/plugin-solana';
import { AgentRuntime } from '@elizaos/core';

// Initialize the agent with Solana plugin
const runtime = new AgentRuntime({
  plugins: [solanaPlugin],
  // ... other configuration
});

​
Actions

​
Transfer Tokens

Send SOL or SPL tokens to any Solana address. Example prompts:
  • “Send 1 SOL to 7xKXtg2CW87d97TXJSDpbD5jBkheTqA83TZRuJosgAsU”
  • “Transfer 100 USDC to alice.sol”
  • “Send 50 BONK tokens to Bob’s wallet”

​
Swap Tokens

Exchange tokens using Jupiter’s aggregator for best prices. Example prompts:
  • “Swap 10 SOL for USDC”
  • “Exchange all my BONK for SOL”
  • “Trade 100 USDC for RAY with 1% slippage”

​
Providers

The plugin includes a comprehensive wallet provider that gives your agent awareness of:
  • Total portfolio value in USD and SOL
  • Individual token balances with current prices
  • Real-time updates via WebSocket subscriptions
  • Token metadata including symbols and decimals

​
Key Features

​
AI-Powered Intent Parsing

The plugin uses advanced prompt engineering to understand natural language: 
// The AI understands various ways to express the same intent:
"Send 1 SOL to alice.sol"
"Transfer 1 SOL to alice"
"Pay alice 1 SOL"
"Give 1 SOL to alice.sol"

​
Automatic Token Resolution

No need to specify token addresses - just use symbols:
  • Automatically resolves token symbols to mint addresses
  • Fetches current token metadata
  • Validates token existence before transactions

​
Real-Time Portfolio Tracking

  • Updates every 2 minutes automatically
  • WebSocket subscriptions for instant updates
  • Comprehensive USD valuations using Birdeye API

​
High-Performance Architecture

  • Connection pooling for optimal RPC usage
  • Intelligent caching to minimize API calls
  • Retry logic with exponential backoff
  • Transaction simulation before execution

​
Advanced Configuration

​
Using Helius RPC

For enhanced performance and reliability: 
SOLANA_RPC_URL=https://mainnet.helius-rpc.com/?api-key=YOUR_KEY
HELIUS_API_KEY=your_helius_api_key

​
Custom Network Configuration

Connect to devnet or custom networks: 
SOLANA_RPC_URL=https://api.devnet.solana.com
SOLANA_CLUSTER=devnet

​
Public Key Only Mode

For read-only operations without a private key: 
SOLANA_PUBLIC_KEY=7xKXtg2CW87d97TXJSDpbD5jBkheTqA83TZRuJosgAsU

​
Error Handling

The plugin includes robust error handling for:
  • Insufficient balance errors
  • Network timeouts and failures
  • Invalid addresses or tokens
  • Slippage tolerance exceeded
  • Transaction simulation failures

​
Security Considerations

  • Private keys support both base58 and base64 formats
  • Never expose private keys in logs or responses
  • Use public key mode when write access isn’t needed
  • Validate all user inputs before execution
  • Set appropriate slippage for swaps

​
Performance Tips

  • Use Helius or other premium RPCs for production
  • Enable WebSocket connections for real-time updates
  • Configure appropriate cache TTLs
  • Monitor rate limits on external APIs
