Overview¶

The Market Factory program is the core Solana smart contract for the Mentat Protocol, implementing a decentralized prediction market with automated market maker (AMM) functionality. Built using Anchor framework version 0.31.1.

Program ID: 3sgfKweTHC5EZgGsh6CCcgP9Bqppb5UA6CwgAcHbF9va

Location: apps/solana-programs/programs/market-factory/

Architecture¶

State Structures (`state.rs`)¶

1. MarketAccount¶

Instructions¶

1. Initialize Market¶

File: instructions/initialize_market.rs

Creates a new prediction market with initial liquidity.

Parameters: - market_id: u64 - Unique market identifier - question_text: String - Market question (max 280 chars) - outcomes: Vec<String> - Outcome labels (2-10) - trading_fee_bps: u16 - Trading fee (max 500 = 5%) - resolution_deadline: i64 - Unix timestamp for resolution - initial_liquidity: u64 - Initial liquidity (min 1M lamports)

Validations: - 2 ≤ outcomes ≤ 10 - Question length ≤ 280 characters - Trading fee ≤ 5% - Resolution deadline > current_time + 1 hour - Initial liquidity ≥ 1,000,000 lamports

Process: 1. Validates all input parameters 2. Creates Market, LiquidityPool, and FeeVault PDAs 3. Distributes initial liquidity equally across outcomes 4. Calculates AMM invariant: k = ∏(reserves) 5. Transfers liquidity from creator to pool 6. Sets market state to Active 7. Emits MarketCreated event

Accounts: - creator (mut, signer) - Market creator - market (init) - Market PDA - liquidity_pool (init) - Pool PDA - fee_vault (init) - Vault PDA - system_program - System program

2. Execute Trade¶

File: instructions/execute_trade.rs

Executes buy or sell trades using constant product AMM.

Parameters: - outcome_index: u8 - Index of outcome to trade - amount: u64 - Amount in lamports (buy) or shares (sell) - is_buy: bool - True for buy, false for sell - max_slippage_bps: u16 - Maximum acceptable slippage

AMM Formula (Constant Product):

For Buying:

shares_received = (amount * reserve) / (reserve + amount)

For Selling:

lamports_received = (shares * reserve) / (reserve + shares)

Process: 1. Validates market is active 2. Calculates trading fee: fee = amount * trading_fee_bps / 10000 3. For BUY: - Calculates shares using AMM formula - Checks slippage tolerance - Updates pool reserves (increase) - Updates position (add shares) - Transfers lamports from trader to pool 4. For SELL: - Validates trader has sufficient shares - Calculates lamports received - Checks slippage tolerance - Updates pool reserves (decrease) - Updates position (remove shares) - Calculates realized P&L - Transfers lamports from pool to trader 5. Transfers fee to fee vault 6. Updates market statistics 7. Emits TradeExecuted event

Accounts: - trader (mut, signer) - Trader - market (mut) - Market account - liquidity_pool (mut) - Pool account - fee_vault (mut) - Fee vault - position (init_if_needed) - Position account - system_program - System program

3. Add Liquidity¶

File: instructions/add_liquidity.rs

Allows liquidity providers to add liquidity and receive LP tokens.

Parameters: - amount: u64 - Lamports to add (min 1,000,000)

LP Token Calculation:

if pool.lp_token_supply == 0 {
    lp_tokens = amount
} else {
    total_value = sum(pool.reserves)
    lp_tokens = (amount * pool.lp_token_supply) / total_value
}

Process: 1. Validates minimum liquidity requirement 2. Calculates LP tokens to mint (proportional to pool share) 3. Initializes LP position if first time 4. Updates LP position (add tokens) 5. Distributes amount equally across outcome reserves 6. Transfers lamports from provider to pool 7. Emits LiquidityAdded event

Accounts: - provider (mut, signer) - Liquidity provider - market - Market account (must be Active) - liquidity_pool (mut) - Pool account - lp_position (init_if_needed) - LP position account - system_program - System program

4. Remove Liquidity¶

File: instructions/remove_liquidity.rs

Allows LPs to withdraw liquidity by burning LP tokens.

Parameters: - lp_tokens: u64 - Amount of LP tokens to burn

Withdrawal Calculation:

total_value = sum(pool.reserves)
amount = (lp_tokens * total_value) / pool.lp_token_supply

Process: 1. Validates LP has sufficient tokens 2. Calculates proportional share of pool 3. Burns LP tokens from position 4. Updates pool supply (decrease) 5. Removes proportional amount from each outcome reserve 6. Transfers lamports from pool to provider 7. Emits LiquidityRemoved event

Accounts: - provider (mut, signer) - Liquidity provider - market - Market account - liquidity_pool (mut) - Pool account - lp_position (mut) - LP position account (must own position) - system_program - System program

5. Update Market State¶

File: instructions/update_market_state.rs

Parameters: - new_state: u8 - Target state (0-6)

Valid State Transitions:

Initializing → Active, Closed
Active → Frozen, Resolved*, Closed
Frozen → Active, Resolved*, Closed
Resolved → Settled**, Disputed
Disputed → Resolved, Settled**
Settled → Closed

* Only after resolution deadline ** Only if winning outcome is set

Process: 1. Validates caller is market creator 2. Parses and validates new state 3. Checks state transition is valid 4. Updates market state 5. Sets resolved_at timestamp if transitioning to Resolved 6. Emits MarketStateChanged event

Accounts: - authority (mut, signer) - Market creator - market (mut) - Market account (constraint: creator match)

6. Close Market¶

File: instructions/close_market.rs

Permanently closes a settled market and withdraws remaining fees.

Preconditions: - Market must be in Settled state - Pool must be empty (all positions claimed) - Only creator can close

Process: 1. Validates market is settled 2. Calculates available fees: total_collected - total_withdrawn 3. Verifies pool is empty (reserves = 0 or lp_supply = 0) 4. Transfers remaining fees to creator 5. Updates fee vault withdrawal record 6. Sets market state to Closed 7. Emits MarketClosed event

Accounts: - creator (mut, signer) - Market creator - market (mut) - Market account (must be Settled) - liquidity_pool (mut) - Pool account - fee_vault (mut) - Fee vault - system_program - System program
