​
Overview

This page provides comprehensive examples and implementations for Solana-based policy configurations. These policies control Solana transaction signing and sending, including SOL transfers and SPL token operations. For general policy concepts and setup instructions, see the Policies Overview.

​
Supported Solana Operations

Solana policies support the following operations:
  • signSolTransaction: To identify incoming signing transactions on the Solana network. Its criteria are evaluated in the Sign Solana Transaction API.
  • sendSolTransaction: To identify incoming transactions that are signed and sent to the Solana network. Its criteria are evaluated in the Send Solana Transaction API.

​
Supported Criteria Types

The following criteria types are available for Solana policies:
  • solAddress: Criterion for recipient addresses of native SOL transfers
  • solValue: Criterion for SOL value in lamports of native transfers
  • splAddress: Criterion for recipient token account addresses of SPL token transfers
  • splValue: Criterion for SPL token amounts being transferred, in units of the token decimals
  • mintAddress: Criterion for token mint addresses of SPL token transfers

​
SOL Transfer Policies

​

Implementation Examples

​
Basic Solana policy creation

    import { CdpClient } from "@coinbase/cdp-sdk";
    import dotenv from "dotenv";

    dotenv.config();

    const cdp = new CdpClient();

    // Create a Solana policy for USDC transfers
    const solanaPolicy = await cdp.policies.createPolicy({
      policy: {
        scope: "account",
        description: "USDC Transfer Restrictions",
        rules: [
          {
            action: "accept",
            operation: "signSolTransaction",
            criteria: [
              {
                type: "mintAddress",
                addresses: ["EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v"],
                operator: "in",
              },
              {
                type: "splValue",
                splValue: "100000000", // 100 USDC
                operator: "<=",
              },
            ],
          },
        ],
      },
    });

    console.log("Created Solana policy:", solanaPolicy.id);

    // Create an account and apply the policy
    const account = await cdp.solana.createAccount({
      accountPolicy: solanaPolicy.id
    });

    console.log("Created Solana account with policy:", account.address);

​
Key Considerations for Solana Policies

​
Token Decimals

When setting token amounts, remember to account for token decimals:
  • SOL: 9 decimals (1 SOL = 1,000,000,000 lamports)
  • USDC: 6 decimals (1 USDC = 1,000,000 base units)
  • USDT: 6 decimals (1 USDT = 1,000,000 base units)

​
Common Token Mint Addresses

  • USDC: EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v
  • USDT: Es9vMFrzaCERmJfrF4H2FYD4KCoNkY11McCe8BenwNYB
  • Wrapped SOL: So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112

​
Common Program Addresses

  • System Program: 11111111111111111111111111111112
  • Token Program: TokenkegQfeZyiNwAJbNbGKPFXCWuBvf9Ss623VQ5DA
  • Associated Token Program: ATokenGPvbdGVxr1b2hvZbsiqW5xWH25efTNsLJA8knL
