What You’ll Achieve
- 30-50% better swap execution for users
- Access to concentrated liquidity features
- Cleaner, more maintainable codebase
- Risk-free migration with easy rollback
Migration strategy overview
We’ll use a parallel integration approach to minimize risk:- Audit current Raydium dependencies and usage patterns
- Install Saros SDK alongside Raydium (both running in parallel)
- Implement feature parity on devnet with A/B testing capability
- Test performance comparison for 48 hours minimum
- Execute staged production migration with rollback plan
- Monitor performance improvements and optimize
Step 1: Audit your current Raydium integration
First, identify exactly which Raydium features you’re using:migration-audit.md:
Step 2: Install Saros SDK alongside Raydium
Install Saros SDKs without removing Raydium (we’ll run both in parallel):Step 3: Implement feature parity with Saros
Replace Pool Data Fetching

Step 4: Implement A/B testing
Create a testing component to compare protocols:Step 5: Execute staged production migration
Phase 1: Feature Flag Implementation
Phase 2: Gradual Rollout Component
Step 6: Monitor and optimize performance

Success validation checklist
Mark each item as complete:- Functionality Parity: All swap features work identically with Saros
- Performance Improvement: Saros shows measurable latency or UX improvements
- Reliability: Success rates are equal or better than Raydium
- User Experience: No user complaints or confusion during migration
- Monitoring: Analytics show healthy migration metrics
- Rollback Plan: Tested ability to quickly revert if issues arise
Troubleshooting common issues
Saros pools returning fewer results than Raydium
Saros pools returning fewer results than Raydium
Cause: Saros has newer pools with potentially less variety than established Raydium pools.Solution:
- Implement fallback to Raydium for unsupported pairs
- Use Saros for supported pairs with better liquidity
- Gradually expand as Saros pool variety increases
Higher transaction fees with Saros
Higher transaction fees with Saros
Cause: DLMM concentrated liquidity operations may have different computational requirements.Solution:
- Compare traditional AMM vs DLMM costs
- Use traditional Saros AMM for cost-sensitive operations
- Factor improved capital efficiency into cost analysis
Integration breaking on specific token pairs
Integration breaking on specific token pairs
Cause: Different token account handling between protocols.Solution:
- Implement per-pair protocol selection
- Add comprehensive error handling with fallbacks
- Log specific failures for Saros team investigation
Expected outcomes
After completing this migration:- Performance: 20-40% faster swap execution times
- Features: Access to concentrated liquidity via DLMM pools
