sol — Solana for Humans and LLM Agents

A command-line tool that lets you work with Solana the way you'd describe it out loud. Pay people, buy and sell tokens, stake, lend, and track your portfolio — instead of constructing transactions and managing program instructions, you say what you want. Keys live locally on disk. No API keys, no private key env vars.

# Set up
sol wallet create --name "ClawdBot"

# Transfer some SOL to the agent wallet, then:

# Check balance
sol wallet balance

# Swap 50 USDC for BONK
sol token swap 50 usdc bonk

# Stake idle SOL
sol stake new 10

# Deposit USDC to earn yield on Kamino
sol lend deposit 100 usdc

# See everything you hold
sol portfolio

# Snapshot for tracking over time
sol portfolio snapshot --label "post-rebalance"

Install

npm install -g @solana-compass/cli

Or run without installing:

npx @solana-compass/cli wallet list

Requires Node.js >= 20.

Install as an Agent Skill

Sol CLI is available as a discoverable skill for Claude Code and other LLM agents:

# Claude Code — add the marketplace, then install the plugin
/plugin marketplace add solanaguide/solana-cli
/plugin install solana-payments-wallets-trading@solanaguide-solana-cli

# skills.sh
npx skills add solanaguide/solana-cli

Once installed, the agent can use Sol commands directly when you ask it to send crypto, trade tokens, check balances, stake, lend, or track portfolio performance.

First-time setup

sol config set rpc.url https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com
sol wallet create

Use a dedicated RPC endpoint for production — the public one rate-limits aggressively. Helius, Triton, or QuickNode all offer free tiers.

Commands

wallet — Create, import, and manage Solana keypairs

sol wallet create                             # New wallet, auto-named
sol wallet create --name trading --count 3    # Batch-create 3 wallets
sol wallet list                               # List all wallets with SOL balances
sol wallet balance                            # Full token balances + USD values
sol wallet balance trading                    # Balance for a specific wallet

sol wallet import --solana-cli                # Import from ~/.config/solana/id.json
sol wallet import ./keypair.json --name cold  # Import from file
sol wallet export main                        # Show key file path
sol wallet remove old-wallet                  # Remove from registry

sol wallet set-default trading                 # Change the active wallet
sol wallet label main --add trading           # Tag wallets for organization
sol wallet history                            # Recent transaction activity
sol wallet history --type swap --limit 5      # Filtered

Wallets are stored locally as key files. The first wallet created becomes the default for all commands. Change it with sol wallet set-default <name>, or override per-command with --wallet <name-or-address>.

token — Prices, swaps, transfers, and account management

sol token price sol                           # Current SOL price
sol token price sol usdc bonk                 # Multiple prices at once
sol token info bonk                           # Token metadata (mint, decimals)
sol token list                                # All tokens in your wallet
sol token sync                                # Refresh token metadata cache

sol token swap 50 usdc bonk                   # Swap via Jupiter
sol token swap 1.5 sol usdc --slippage 100    # 1% slippage tolerance
sol token swap 50 usdc bonk --quote-only      # Preview without executing

sol token swap 5 usdc sol --wallet backup      # Swap from a specific wallet
sol token send 2 sol GkX...abc                # Send SOL to an address
sol token burn bonk --all                     # Burn all of a token
sol token close --all --yes                   # Close empty accounts, reclaim rent

Swaps use Jupiter's aggregator — best price across all Solana DEXes, no API key needed. Every swap is logged with cost-basis prices for portfolio tracking.

Token resolution

Anywhere a command takes a token, you can use a symbol (sol, usdc, bonk) or a mint address (EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v). Resolution works in three steps:

• Hardcoded well-known list — 15 major tokens (SOL, USDC, USDT, JUP, BONK, mSOL, jitoSOL, bSOL, ETH, wBTC, PYTH, JTO, WEN, RNDR, JLP) resolve instantly offline. These are immune to spoofing.

• Local cache — Previously resolved tokens are cached in SQLite with a 24-hour TTL. Populated by prior lookups and sol token sync.

• Jupiter Token API — If not cached, the CLI searches Jupiter's token database. Results are ranked by liquidity and trading volume, so usdc returns the real USDC — not a scam token with the same symbol. The result is cached for next time.

For unfamiliar tokens, verify before transacting:

sol token info peng                           # Check the resolved mint address
sol token swap 50 usdc EPjFW...1v --quote-only  # Use the mint address directly

Using a mint address bypasses symbol search entirely — useful when you know exactly which token you want, or when dealing with tokens that share a ticker. Agents should prefer mint addresses for safety when operating autonomously.

stake — Native SOL staking with MEV compounding

sol stake new 10                              # Stake 10 SOL (default: Solana Compass)
sol stake new 5 --validator DPm...xyz         # Stake with a specific validator
sol stake list                                # All stake accounts + claimable MEV
sol stake claim-mev                           # Compound MEV tips (re-stake)
sol stake claim-mev --withdraw                # Withdraw MEV to wallet instead
sol stake withdraw 7gK...abc                  # Smart withdraw (handles deactivation)

Creates a stake account, funds it, and delegates — all in a single transaction. The CLI handles the multi-step Solana staking process so you don't have to.

lend — Lending and borrowing on Kamino Finance

sol lend rates sol                            # Deposit/borrow APY for SOL
sol lend rates usdc                           # USDC rates

sol lend deposit 100 usdc                     # Deposit USDC to earn yield
sol lend deposit 5 sol                        # Deposit SOL as collateral
sol lend withdraw 50 usdc                     # Partial withdrawal
sol lend withdraw max sol                     # Withdraw entire deposit

sol lend borrow 500 usdc --collateral sol     # Borrow against collateral
sol lend repay 250 usdc                       # Partial repay
sol lend repay max usdc                       # Repay full outstanding debt

sol lend positions                            # All deposits, borrows, health factor

Positions include real-time APY, USD values, and health factor monitoring. The CLI warns when health factor drops below 1.1.

portfolio — Unified view across all positions

sol portfolio                                 # Everything: tokens, stakes, lending
sol portfolio --wallet trading                # Single wallet view

sol portfolio snapshot                        # Save current state
sol portfolio snapshot --label "pre-trade"    # With a label
sol portfolio history                         # List all snapshots

sol portfolio compare                         # Diff vs latest snapshot
sol portfolio compare 3                       # Diff vs snapshot #3
sol portfolio pnl                             # P&L since first snapshot
sol portfolio pnl --since 5                   # P&L since snapshot #5

The portfolio aggregates tokens, staked SOL, and Kamino lending positions across all wallets. Snapshots enable tracking changes over time — useful for agents that need to measure the impact of their actions.

config — Persistent settings

sol config set rpc.url https://my-rpc.com     # Set RPC endpoint
sol config get rpc.url                         # Read a value
sol config list                                # Show all settings
sol config path                                # Config file location

Other commands

sol network                                   # Epoch, TPS, inflation, staking APY
sol tx 4xK9...abc                             # Look up a transaction by signature

Structured Output

Every command supports --json for automation and scripting:

{
  "ok": true,
  "data": { ... },
  "meta": { "elapsed_ms": 450 }
}

Error codes are predictable UPPER_SNAKE_CASE identifiers (SWAP_FAILED, LEND_DEPOSIT_FAILED, etc.).

Global Flags

Flag	Description
--json	Structured JSON output
--rpc <url>	Override RPC endpoint
--verbose	Show debug logging

Most commands also accept --wallet <name-or-address> to override the default wallet.

RPC Resolution

The CLI resolves an RPC endpoint in this order:

• --rpc flag
• SOL_RPC_URL environment variable
• ~/.sol/config.toml → rpc.url
• Solana CLI config (solana config get)
• Public mainnet RPC (with warning)

Data Storage

All data lives in ~/.sol/:

Path	Contents
config.toml	Configuration (TOML)
data.db	SQLite — wallets, token cache, transaction log, snapshots
wallets/*.json	Keypair files (Solana CLI format, chmod 600)

The transaction log is the source of truth for cost basis and P&L — every swap, transfer, deposit, and withdrawal is recorded with USD prices at the time of execution.

Architecture

• Runtime: Node.js (compiled from TypeScript)
• CLI framework: commander.js
• Solana SDK: @solana/kit v2
• Swaps: Jupiter REST API (no SDK, no API key)
• Lending: Kamino Finance via @kamino-finance/klend-sdk
• Prices: Jupiter Price API with CoinGecko fallback
• Database: SQLite via better-sqlite3 (WAL mode)
• Config: TOML via smol-toml

Security

• Key files are plain JSON (Solana CLI compatible), stored with chmod 600
• Private keys are never logged or printed to stdout
• wallet export returns the file path, not the key contents
• All transactions are logged to SQLite for audit
• Swap commands show quote details before executing
