Import Dependencies

Import the required packages for Solana RPC communication, Kamino SDK operations, and Kit transaction building.
import {
  createSolanaRpc,
  createSolanaRpcSubscriptions,
  address,
  pipe,
  createTransactionMessage,
  setTransactionMessageFeePayerSigner,
  setTransactionMessageLifetimeUsingBlockhash,
  appendTransactionMessageInstructions,
  signTransactionMessageWithSigners,
  sendAndConfirmTransactionFactory,
  getSignatureFromTransaction,
} from '@solana/kit';
import { KaminoVault } from '@kamino-finance/klend-sdk';
import { parseKeypairFile } from '@kamino-finance/klend-sdk/dist/utils/signer.js';
import { Decimal } from 'decimal.js';

​
Load Signer and Initialize Vault

Load your keypair from a file and initialize RPC connections and the vault instance.
const KEYPAIR_FILE = '/path/to/your/keypair.json';
const signer = await parseKeypairFile(KEYPAIR_FILE);

const rpc = createSolanaRpc('https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com');
const rpcSubscriptions = createSolanaRpcSubscriptions('wss://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com');
const vault = new KaminoVault(
  rpc,
  address('HDsayqAsDWy3QvANGqh2yNraqcD8Fnjgh73Mhb3WRS5E')
);
Replace /path/to/your/keypair.json with the actual path to your keypair file. The rpcSubscriptions enables real-time transaction confirmation.

​
Build Deposit Instructions

Generate deposit instructions for the vault.
const depositAmount = new Decimal(1.0);
const bundle = await vault.depositIxs(signer, depositAmount);
const instructions = [...(bundle.depositIxs || [])];

if (!instructions.length) {
  throw new Error('No instructions returned by Kamino SDK');
}
The depositIxs method returns deposit instructions to add your assets to the vault and mint vault shares.

​
Build and Sign Transaction

Use Kit’s functional pipe pattern to build and sign the transaction with a fresh blockhash.
const { value: latestBlockhash } = await rpc.getLatestBlockhash().send();

const transactionMessage = pipe(
  createTransactionMessage({ version: 0 }),
  (tx) => setTransactionMessageFeePayerSigner(signer, tx),
  (tx) => setTransactionMessageLifetimeUsingBlockhash(latestBlockhash, tx),
  (tx) => appendTransactionMessageInstructions(instructions, tx)
);

const signedTransaction = await signTransactionMessageWithSigners(transactionMessage);

​
Send and Confirm Transaction

Send the deposit transaction and wait for confirmation.
const signature = getSignatureFromTransaction(signedTransaction);

await sendAndConfirmTransactionFactory({ rpc, rpcSubscriptions })(signedTransaction, {
  commitment: 'confirmed',
  skipPreflight: true,
});

console.log('Deposit successful! Signature:', signature);
Once the deposit transaction is confirmed, your assets are deposited into the vault and you start earning yield. Vault shares are minted to represent your position.
