This tutorial shows you how to interact with the OKX DEX API to perform token swaps on the Solana blockchain.
The implementation uses Web3.js and the OKX DEX API to create robust handling of quotes and swap execution.
The tutorial demonstrates Single-chain swaps: SOL to USDC on Solana, and Cross-chain capabilities: SOL to MATIC (Polygon).
The tutorial includes a utility file that contains all the necessary functions for interacting with the OKX DEX API on Solana.
The implementation handles Network and token configurations, Header construction, API endpoint and call construction, Quote retrieval, Single-chain swaps and Cross-chain quotes.
Before beginning, one needs to have Node.js installed (v16 or later), basic knowledge of Solana development, a Solana wallet address and private key, OKX API credentials (API Key, Secret Key, and Passphrase) from the OKX Developer Portal, a Project ID from the OKX Developer Portal, and RPC API credentials (API Key, dedicated Solana endpoint) from a node provider like Quicknode.
The tutorial also shows how to get a quote using the implementation codes given (source code repository).
The implementation for executing swap transactions on Solana is also given which tries to execute the swap transaction several times in case of any failure and also provides compute budget.
The SolanaSwapTransaction component demonstrates how to implement the DEX API calls in a React interface.
Overall, the tutorial is a good resource for developers looking into integrating OKX DEX aggregation into their Solana DApps.
