description: Getting started with the Vertigo SDK v2

Getting started

Installation

To install the Vertigo SDK v2, use your preferred package installer:

npm install @vertigo-amm/vertigo-sdk
# or
yarn add @vertigo-amm/vertigo-sdk
bun install @vertigo-amm/vertigo-sdk

Dependencies

Make sure you have the following dependencies installed:

• @coral-xyz/anchor

• @solana/web3.js

• @solana/spl-token Install them with: npm install @coral-xyz/anchor @solana/web3.js @solana/spl-token

Basic setup

Read-only mode (no wallet required)

import { Vertigo } from "@vertigo-amm/vertigo-sdk";
import { Connection } from "@solana/web3.js";
// Connect to Solana
const connection = new Connection("https://api.devnet.solana.com", "confirmed");
// Initialize Vertigo SDK in read-only mode
const vertigo = await Vertigo.loadReadOnly(connection, "devnet");
console.log("Vertigo SDK initialized (read-only)");
// Get pool data, quotes, etc.
const pools = await vertigo.pools.getPools();
### With wallet (full features)
import { Connection, Keypair } from "@solana/web3.js";
import * as anchor from "@coral-xyz/anchor";
// Load a wallet from a local file, or however you want to load a wallet
const walletKeypair = anchor.Wallet.local();
// Initialize Vertigo SDK with wallet
const vertigo = await Vertigo.load({
  connection,
  wallet: walletKeypair,
  network: "devnet",
});
console.log("Vertigo SDK initialized");
// Execute swaps, create pools, etc.
## Where to go from here
The next few pages cover basic interactions with Vertigo pools such as [**swapping tokens**](buy-tokens.md), and [**claiming**](claim-royalty-fees.md) royalties. If you plan to launch tokens, it is recommended to take a look at [**Token Factories**](token-factories.md), and explore [**customizing token factories**](../designing-token-factories.md).
## SDK v2 Architecture
The v2 SDK is organized into specialized client modules:
### Core Clients

**Swap Client** (`vertigo.swap`)
* `getQuote()` - Get swap quotes with slippage calculation
* `buy()` - Buy tokens (spend quote token like SOL, receive base token)
* `sell()` - Sell tokens (spend base token, receive quote token like SOL)
* `simulateSwap()` - Simulate swaps before executing
* `buildBuyTransaction()` - Build buy transactions manually
* `buildSellTransaction()` - Build sell transactions manually
**Pool Client** (`vertigo.pools`)
* `getPool()` - Fetch pool data from chain
* `getPools()` - Fetch multiple pools
* `findPoolsByMints()` - Find pools by token pair
* `getPoolAddress()` - Get pool PDA address
* `createPool()` - Create new liquidity pools
* `claimFees()` - Claim accumulated royalty fees
* `getPoolStats()` - Get pool statistics
**Pool Authority Client** (`vertigo.poolAuthority`)
* Advanced pool management for authorized users
* Create pools with custom configurations
**API Client** (`vertigo.api`)
* `getPoolStats()` - Get pool statistics and analytics
* `getTrendingPools()` - Get trending pools by timeframe
* `getTokenInfo()` - Get token metadata and info
* `subscribeToPool()` - Real-time pool updates via WebSocket
### Utility Functions
The SDK includes rich utilities for common operations:
import {
  formatTokenAmount,
  parseTokenAmount,
  getOrCreateATA,
  estimatePriorityFee,
  retry,
  getExplorerUrl,
  sendTransactionWithRetry,
} from "@vertigo-amm/vertigo-sdk";
## Migrating from v1
If you're upgrading from SDK v1, the legacy `VertigoSDK` class is still available for backwards compatibility:
import { VertigoSDK } from "@vertigo-amm/vertigo-sdk";
const provider = new anchor.AnchorProvider(connection, wallet);
const sdk = new VertigoSDK(provider);
However, we **strongly recommend** migrating to the new `Vertigo` client for:
- 50% less code on average
- Better performance and type safety
- Powerful new features (simulation, API client, utilities)
- Cleaner, more intuitive APIs
See the [**Migration Guide**](migration-guide.md) for complete step-by-step instructions, code comparisons, and a migration checklist.
