Solana Payments Wallets Trading

Payments, Wallets and Trading on Solana

Sol is a command-line tool that lets you work with Solana the way you'd describe it out loud. Instead of constructing transactions and managing program instructions, you say what you want: pay someone, buy a token, stake your SOL.

Keys live locally on disk — no private keys in environment variables, no API keys to configure.

Get Set Up

Prefer npx with @latest — it always runs the latest version with no global install to manage:

npx @solana-compass/cli@latest config set rpc.url https://your-rpc-endpoint.com
npx @solana-compass/cli@latest wallet create --name my-wallet

If the user has installed globally (npm install -g @solana-compass/cli), you can use the shorter sol command instead:

sol config set rpc.url https://your-rpc-endpoint.com
sol wallet create --name my-wallet

The public RPC endpoint rate-limits aggressively. Use a dedicated RPC for anything beyond testing — Helius, Triton, and QuickNode all offer free tiers.

Requires Node.js >= 20.

Pay Someone

Send SOL, USDC, or any Solana token to a wallet address.

sol token send 50 usdc GkX...abc
sol token send 2 sol 7nY...xyz
sol token send 1000 bonk AgE...def --yes

See references/trading-commands.md for the full send reference.

Discover Tokens

Browse the Solana token ecosystem — trending, most traded, recently launched, and more.

sol token browse trending                    # what's hot right now
sol token browse top-traded --interval 24h   # highest volume over 24h
sol token browse recent --limit 10           # just launched
sol token browse lst                         # liquid staking tokens

Results populate the local token cache, so subsequent token info and token price calls resolve instantly.

See references/trading-commands.md for all categories and flags.

Buy and Sell Tokens

Swap any token for any other token. Queries Jupiter and DFlow in parallel and picks the best price automatically.

sol token swap 50 usdc bonk               # buy BONK — best price wins
sol token swap 1.5 sol usdc               # sell SOL for USDC
sol token swap 50 usdc bonk --quote-only  # preview without executing
sol token swap 50 usdc bonk --router jupiter  # force a specific router

Every swap records the price at execution time, so you can track cost basis and P&L later.

See references/trading-commands.md for slippage, wallet selection, etc.

DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging)

Set up recurring buys that execute automatically over time.

sol token dca new 500 usdc sol --every day --count 10   # buy SOL daily
sol token dca new 1000 usdc bonk --every hour --count 20
sol token dca list                           # see active DCA orders
sol token dca cancel <orderKey>              # stop a DCA

Constraints: $100 total minimum, at least 2 orders, $50/order minimum. Intervals: minute, hour, day, week, month.

Limit Orders

Place orders that execute when a token hits your target price.

sol token limit new 50 usdc bonk --at 0.000003   # buy BONK at $0.000003
sol token limit new 0.5 sol usdc --at 0.90        # buy USDC at $0.90
sol token limit list                              # see active orders
sol token limit cancel <orderKey>                 # cancel an order

Use --quote-only to preview the order plan without placing it.

Check Prices

sol token price sol
sol token price sol usdc bonk eth       # multiple at once

See What You Have

sol wallet balance                      # all tokens with USD values
sol wallet balance trading              # specific wallet by name
sol token list                          # just token balances
sol wallet list                         # all your wallets

Create and Manage Wallets

Wallets are local key files in ~/.sol/wallets/ — no seed phrases in environment variables.

sol wallet create                       # new wallet, auto-named
sol wallet create --name trading        # pick a name
sol wallet import --solana-cli          # import from Solana CLI
sol wallet set-default trading          # switch active wallet

Any command can target a specific wallet with --wallet <name>.

See references/wallet-commands.md for import, export, labels, history.

Stake SOL

Delegate SOL to a validator and earn staking rewards. One command handles the entire process — creating the stake account, funding it, and delegating.

sol stake new 10                        # stake 10 SOL
sol stake list                          # your stake accounts + claimable tips
sol stake claim-mev                     # compound MEV rewards
sol stake withdraw 7gK...abc            # unstake

See references/staking-commands.md for validator selection, partial withdrawals, and force unstake.

Earn Yield by Lending

Compare rates and lend across five protocols — Kamino, MarginFi, Drift, Jupiter Lend, and Loopscale. The CLI auto-picks the best rate, or you can target a specific protocol with --protocol.

sol lend rates usdc                     # compare APY across all protocols
sol lend deposit 100 usdc               # auto-picks best deposit rate
sol lend deposit 5 sol --protocol kamino
sol lend borrow 500 usdc --collateral sol
sol lend positions                      # everything across all protocols

See references/lending-commands.md for full details.

Earn Yield in Vaults

Managed yield vaults across Kamino Earn and Loopscale. Unlike raw lending, vaults handle strategy management automatically — you deposit a token and the protocol optimizes yield. The CLI auto-picks the highest APY vault, or you can target a specific protocol or vault.

sol earn usdc                              # list USDC vaults with APY
sol earn sol                               # list SOL vaults
sol earn                                   # all vaults, sorted by APY
sol earn deposit 100 usdc                  # auto-picks best APY vault
sol earn deposit 5 sol --protocol kamino   # target specific protocol
sol earn positions                         # your vault positions
sol earn withdraw max usdc                 # full withdrawal
sol earn withdraw 50 usdc --protocol loopscale

Earn positions appear in sol portfolio alongside tokens, staking, lending, and LP.

Provide Liquidity

Add liquidity to pools across Orca, Raydium, Meteora, and Kamino. Browse pools by TVL/APY/volume, deposit with flexible price ranges, track positions with P&L and impermanent loss, and farm for extra rewards.

sol lp pools sol usdc                          # browse SOL/USDC pools
sol lp pools --sort apy --type clmm            # highest APY concentrated pools
sol lp deposit HJPj...abc 100 usdc --range 10  # deposit with +/-10% price range
sol lp positions                               # all positions with P&L
sol lp claim 9xK...abc                         # claim unclaimed fees
sol lp withdraw 9xK...abc                      # remove liquidity

See references/lp-commands.md for full details including farming, pool creation, and protocol-specific flags.

Trade Prediction Markets
