# Lightspeed SDK for Rust
[](https://crates.io/crates/lightspeed-sdk)

[](https://github.com/solana-vibe-station/lightspeed-sdk-rust#license)
Fast, reliable transaction processing for Solana using Solana Vibe Station's Lightspeed RPC service.
## Overview
Lightspeed SDK provides a simple, efficient way to submit prioritized transactions to the Solana blockchain through Solana Vibe Station's optimized RPC infrastructure. The SDK handles tip management, connection pooling, and transaction prioritization automatically.
## Features
- 🚀 **Automatic Tip Management** - Transactions automatically include appropriate priority tips
- ⚡ **Multiple Priority Levels** - Choose between Minimum, Standard, Rush, or Custom priority
- 🔄 **Connection Keep-Alive** - Maintains persistent connections for optimal performance
- 📦 **Full Solana SDK Compatibility** - Works seamlessly with existing Solana code
- 🔐 **Secure Authentication** - API key authentication via HTTP headers
- 📊 **Transaction Tracking** - Returns signatures and tip amounts for monitoring
## Installation
Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
lightspeed-sdk = "0.1.0"
solana-sdk = "2.1"
tokio = { version = "1", features = ["full"] }
```
## Quick Start
```rust
use lightspeed_sdk::{LightspeedClientBuilder, Priority};
use solana_sdk::{
signature::Keypair,
signer::Signer,
system_instruction,
hash::Hash,
};
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
// Initialize client
let client = LightspeedClientBuilder::new("your-api-key")
.svs_rpc_url("https://basic.rpc.solanavibestation.com")
.default_priority(Priority::Standard)
.build()?;
// Start keep-alive for connection management
client.start_keep_alive().await?;
// Create a transaction
let payer = Keypair::new();
let recipient = solana_sdk::pubkey::Pubkey::new_unique();
let instruction = system_instruction::transfer(
&payer.pubkey(),
&recipient,
1_000_000, // 0.001 SOL
);
// Send with automatic tip injection
let result = client.send_transaction(
vec![instruction],
&payer.pubkey(),
&[&payer],
Hash::default(), // Use real blockhash in production
).await?;
println!("Transaction sent: {}", result.signature);
println!("Tip paid: {} lamports", result.tip_amount);
Ok(())
}
```
## Usage Examples
### Different Priority Levels
```rust
use lightspeed_sdk::Priority;
// Standard priority (0.001 SOL tip)
let result = client.send_transaction(
instructions,
&payer.pubkey(),
&[&payer],
blockhash,
).await?;
// Minimum priority (0.0001 SOL tip)
let result = client.send_transaction(
instructions,
&payer.pubkey(),
&[&payer],
blockhash,
Priority::Minimum,
).await?;
// Rush priority (0.005 SOL tip)
let result = client.send_transaction_with_priority(
instructions,
&payer.pubkey(),
&[&payer],
blockhash,
Priority::Rush,
).await?;
// Custom tip amount (0.01 SOL)
let result = client.send_transaction_with_tip(
instructions,
&payer.pubkey(),
&[&payer],
blockhash,
10_000_000, // lamports
).await?;
```
### Manual Tip Control
```rust
// Create tip instruction manually
let tip_instruction = client.create_tip_instruction_with_priority(
&payer.pubkey(),
Priority::Rush,
);
// Build transaction with tip
let mut transaction = Transaction::new_with_payer(
&[transfer_instruction, tip_instruction],
Some(&payer.pubkey()),
);
// Sign and send
transaction.sign(&[&payer], blockhash);
let signature = client.send_raw_transaction(&transaction).await?;
```
### Configuration Options
```rust
use std::time::Duration;
let client = LightspeedClientBuilder::new("your-api-key")
.svs_rpc_url("https://elite.rpc.solanavibestation.com") // SVS RPC URL
.default_priority(Priority::Rush) // Default priority
.timeout(Duration::from_secs(60)) // Request timeout
.keep_alive_interval(Duration::from_secs(30)) // Keep-alive interval
.debug(true) // Enable debug logging
.build()?;
```
## API Documentation
### Core Methods
| `send_transaction()` | Send transaction with default priority |
| `send_transaction_with_priority()` | Send with specific priority |
| `send_transaction_with_tip()` | Send with custom tip amount |
| `send_raw_transaction()` | Send pre-built transaction |
| `create_tip_instruction()` | Create tip instruction |
| `start_keep_alive()` | Start connection maintenance |
| `stop_keep_alive()` | Stop connection maintenance |
### Priority Levels
| `Priority::Standard` | 0.001 SOL | Regular transactions |
| `Priority::Rush` | 0.005 SOL | Extremely time-sensitive transactions |
| `Priority::Custom(u64)` | Custom | Fine-grained control |
## Getting Started
