Introduction
In this small receipt I'm going to show you how to make a USDT transfer on the Solana network.
Requirements
- I'm going to use Golang as the language.
Code with comments
Let's first create a client for the wallet and import the required libraries.
package main import ( "context" "errors" "github.com/portto/solana-go-sdk/client" "github.com/portto/solana-go-sdk/common" "github.com/portto/solana-go-sdk/program/associated_token_account" "github.com/portto/solana-go-sdk/program/memo" "github.com/portto/solana-go-sdk/program/token" "github.com/portto/solana-go-sdk/rpc" "github.com/portto/solana-go-sdk/types" ) var ( ErrInsuficientBalance = errors.New("insufficient balance") ) const ( USDTTokenPublicAddress = "Es9vMFrzaCERmJfrF4H2FYD4KCoNkY11McCe8BenwNYB" USDTTokenDecimals uint8 = 6 ) type Client struct { client *client.Client wallet types.Account } // NewClient ... func NewClient(ctx context.Context, privateKey string) (*Client, error) { c := client.NewClient(rpc.DevnetRPCEndpoint) wallet, err := types.AccountFromBase58(privateKey) if err != nil { return nil, err } return &Client{ client: c, wallet: wallet, }, nil } I'll create two auxiliar methods for retrieving the USDT account associated with a public key.
And retrieving the USDT PublicKey for our wallet. Is important to notice that is not the same the PublicKey, than USDT PublicKey.
Let's call them GetUSDTAccount and GetUSDTPublic.
func (c *Client) GetUSDTAccount(ctx context.Context) (token.TokenAccount, error) { publicAddress := c.wallet.PublicKey.ToBase58() mapAccs, err := c.client.GetTokenAccountsByOwner(ctx, publicAddress) if err != nil { return token.TokenAccount{}, err } for _, acc := range mapAccs { if acc.Mint.ToBase58() == USDTTokenPublicAddress && acc.Owner.ToBase58() == publicAddress { return acc, nil } } return token.TokenAccount{}, nil } func (c *Client) GetUSDTPublic(ctx context.Context) (common.PublicKey, error) { publicAddress := c.wallet.PublicKey.ToBase58() mapAccs, err := c.client.GetTokenAccountsByOwner(ctx, publicAddress) if err != nil { return common.PublicKey{}, err } for key, acc := range mapAccs { if acc.Mint.ToBase58() == USDTTokenPublicAddress && acc.Owner.ToBase58() == publicAddress { return key, nil } } return common.PublicKey{}, nil } I'll also will need to check the available balance in USDT, expressed as 1e6 units of Lamports.
func (c *Client) GetUSDTBalanceLamports(ctx context.Context) (uint64, error) { usdtPublicAddress, err := c.GetUSDTPublic(ctx) if err != nil { return 0, err } lamports, _, err := c.client.GetTokenAccountBalance(ctx, usdtPublicAddress.ToBase58()) return lamports, err } I'll also need to get the associated token address for the receiver wallet. So let's implement a method
for GetAssociatedTokenAddress.
func (c *Client) GetAssociatedTokenAddress(ctx context.Context, address string) (common.PublicKey, error) { pubAddress := common.PublicKeyFromString(address) mintAddress := common.PublicKeyFromString(USDTTokenPublicAddress) ata, _, err := common.FindAssociatedTokenAddress(pubAddress, mintAddress) return ata, err } Now let's implement a method for making the transaction of USDTs. It's important to keep in mind that USDT on Solana, is just a SPL token.
// TransferUSDT make transaction of usdt to solana wallet specified. // walletAddress: the public address where you want make the usdt transaction. // amount: amount of USDT to be transfered.
