deBridge Solana SDK Development Guide
A comprehensive guide for building Solana programs with the deBridge Solana SDK - enabling decentralized cross-chain transfers of arbitrary messages and value between blockchains.
Overview
deBridge is a cross-chain infrastructure protocol enabling:
- Cross-Chain Transfers: Bridge assets between Solana and 20+ EVM chains
- Message Passing: Send arbitrary messages across blockchains
- External Calls: Execute smart contract calls on destination chains
- Sub-Second Settlement: ~2 second median settlement time
- Capital Efficiency: Intent-based architecture with 4bps lowest spreads
Key Features
- 26+ security audits (Halborn, Zokyo, Ackee Blockchain)
- $200K bug bounty on Immunefi
- 100% uptime since launch
- Zero security incidents
Quick Start
Installation
Add the SDK to your Anchor/Solana program:
cargo add --git ssh://git@github.com/debridge-finance/debridge-solana-sdk.git debridge-solana-sdk
Or add to Cargo.toml:
[dependencies]
debridge-solana-sdk = { git = "ssh://git@github.com/debridge-finance/debridge-solana-sdk.git" }
Basic Setup (Anchor)
use anchor_lang::prelude::*;
use debridge_solana_sdk::prelude::*;
declare_id!("YourProgramId11111111111111111111111111111");
#[program]
pub mod my_bridge_program {
use super::*;
pub fn send_cross_chain(
ctx: Context<SendCrossChain>,
target_chain_id: [u8; 32],
receiver: Vec<u8>,
amount: u64,
) -> Result<()> {
// Invoke deBridge send
debridge_sending::invoke_debridge_send(
debridge_sending::SendIx {
target_chain_id,
receiver,
is_use_asset_fee: false, // Use native SOL for fees
amount,
submission_params: None,
referral_code: None,
},
ctx.remaining_accounts,
)?;
Ok(())
}
}
#[derive(Accounts)]
pub struct SendCrossChain<'info> {
#[account(mut)]
pub sender: Signer<'info>,
// Additional accounts passed via remaining_accounts
}
Core Concepts
1. Chain IDs
deBridge uses 32-byte chain identifiers for all supported networks:
use debridge_solana_sdk::chain_ids::*;
// Solana
let solana = SOLANA_CHAIN_ID; // Solana mainnet
// EVM Chains
let ethereum = ETHEREUM_CHAIN_ID; // Chain ID: 1
let polygon = POLYGON_CHAIN_ID; // Chain ID: 137
let bnb = BNB_CHAIN_CHAIN_ID; // Chain ID: 56
let arbitrum = ARBITRUM_CHAIN_ID; // Chain ID: 42161
let avalanche = AVALANCHE_CHAIN_ID; // Chain ID: 43114
let fantom = FANTOM_CHAIN_ID; // Chain ID: 250
let heco = HECO_CHAIN_ID; // Chain ID: 128
2. Program IDs
use debridge_solana_sdk::{DEBRIDGE_ID, SETTINGS_ID};
// Main deBridge program for sending/claiming
let debridge_program = DEBRIDGE_ID;
// Settings and confirmation storage program
let settings_program = SETTINGS_ID;
3. Fee Structure
deBridge supports multiple fee payment methods:
// Native Fee (SOL)
is_use_asset_fee: false // Pay fees in SOL
// Asset Fee
is_use_asset_fee: true // Pay fees in the bridged token
// Fee Constants
const BPS_DENOMINATOR: u64 = 10000; // Basis points divisor
4. Flags
Control transfer behavior with flags:
use debridge_solana_sdk::flags::*;
// Available flags (bit positions)
const UNWRAP_ETH: u8 = 0; // Unwrap to native ETH on destination
const REVERT_IF_EXTERNAL_FAIL: u8 = 1; // Revert if external call fails
const PROXY_WITH_SENDER: u8 = 2; // Include sender in proxy call
const SEND_HASHED_DATA: u8 = 3; // Send data as hash
const DIRECT_WALLET_FLOW: u8 = 31; // Use direct wallet flow
// Setting flags on submission params
let mut flags = [0u8; 32];
flags.set_reserved_flag(UNWRAP_ETH);
flags.set_reserved_flag(REVERT_IF_EXTERNAL_FAIL);
Sending Cross-Chain Transfers
Basic Token Transfer
use debridge_solana_sdk::prelude::*;
pub fn send_tokens(
ctx: Context<SendTokens>,
amount: u64,
) -> Result<()> {
debridge_sending::invoke_debridge_send(
debridge_sending::SendIx {
target_chain_id: chain_ids::ETHEREUM_CHAIN_ID,
receiver: recipient_eth_address.to_vec(),
is_use_asset_fee: false,
amount,
submission_params: None,
referral_code: Some(12345), // Optional referral
},
ctx.remaining_accounts,
)?;
Ok(())
}
Transfer with Fixed Native Fee
pub fn send_with_native_fee(
ctx: Context<Send>,
target_chain_id: [u8; 32],
receiver: Vec<u8>,
amount: u64,
) -> Result<()> {
// Get the fixed fee for the target chain
let fee = debridge_sending::get_chain_native_fix_fee(
&target_chain_id,
ctx.remaining_accounts,
)?;
debridge_sending::invoke_debridge_send(
debridge_sending::SendIx {
target_chain_id,
receiver,
is_use_asset_fee: false,
amount,
submission_params: None,
referral_code: None,

Transfer with Asset Fee
pub fn send_with_asset_fee(
ctx: Context<Send>,
target_chain_id: [u8; 32],
receiver: Vec<u8>,
amount: u64,

debridge_sending::invoke_debridge_send_signed(
debridge_sending::SendIx {
target_chain_id,
receiver,
is_use_asset_fee: false,
amount,
submission_params: None,
referral_code: None,

Message Passing
Send messages without token transfers:
use debridge_solana_sdk::prelude::*;
pub fn send_message(
ctx: Context<SendMessage>,
target_chain_id: [u8; 32],
receiver: Vec<u8>,
message_data: Vec<u8>,

execution_fee: 0,
flags: [0u8; 32],
fallback_address: receiver.clone(),
external_call_shortcut: compute_keccak256(&message_data),
};
// Send message (zero amount)
debridge_sending::invoke_send_message(
debridge_sending::SendIx {
target_chain_id,
receiver,
is_use_asset_fee: false,
amount: 0, // No token transfer
submission_params: Some(submission_params),
referral_code: None,
},
ctx.remaining_accounts,
)?;
Ok(())
}

) -> Result<()> {
let shortcut = compute_keccak256(&external_call_data);
// Set flags for external call behavior
let mut flags = [0u8; 32];
flags.set_reserved_flag(flags::REVERT_IF_EXTERNAL_FAIL);
let submission_params = debridge_sending::SendSubmissionParamsInput {
execution_fee,

amount,
submission_params: Some(submission_params),
referral_code: None,
},
ctx.remaining_accounts,
)?;
Ok(())
}
Claim Verification
Verify claims on the receiving side:
Validate Incoming Claims
use debridge_solana_sdk::check_claiming::*;
pub fn receive_tokens(ctx: Context<ReceiveTokens>) -> Result<()> {
// Get and validate the parent claim instruction
let claim_ix = ValidatedExecuteExtCallIx::try_from_current_ix()?;

let submission_key = claim_ix.get_submission_key()?;
Ok(submission_key)
}
Fee Queries

PDA Derivation
Bridge Account
use debridge_solana_sdk::keys::*;

Build External Call Data
import { ethers } from 'ethers';
import { keccak256 } from '@ethersproject/keccak256';
function buildExternalCallData(
targetContract: string,
functionSig: string,
params: any[]
): { data: Uint8Array; shortcut: Uint8Array } {
const iface = new ethers.Interface([functionSig]);
const calldata = iface.encodeFunctionData(
functionSig.split('(')[0].replace('function ', ''),
params
);
const data = ethers.getBytes(calldata);
const shortcut = ethers.getBytes(keccak256(data));
return { data, shortcut };
}
// Example: ERC20 approve call
const { data, shortcut } = buildExternalCallData(
'0xTargetContract...',
'function approve(address spender, uint256 amount)',
['0xSpenderAddress...', ethers.parseEther('1000')]
);
Testing
Anchor Test Setup
# Anchor.toml
[provider]
cluster = "mainnet" # Use mainnet for testing with real deBridge
[programs.mainnet]
my_program = "YourProgramId..."
Run Tests
# Full build and test
cd example_program && anchor build && anchor test
# Test only (skip rebuild)
anchor test --skip-build --skip-deploy
Local Testing Tips
- Use Mainnet Fork: deBridge infrastructure is on mainnet
- Mock Remaining Accounts: Create mock accounts for unit tests
- Test Fee Calculations: Verify fee amounts before sending
Build Features
The SDK supports different environments via Cargo features:
# Production (default) - uses hardcoded program IDs
debridge-solana-sdk = { git = "..." }
# Custom environment - uses env vars
debridge-solana-sdk = { git = "...", features = ["env"] }
Environment variables for custom networks:
DEBRIDGE_PROGRAM_PUBKEY: Custom deBridge program IDDEBRIDGE_SETTINGS_PROGRAM_PUBKEY: Custom settings program ID
