## Kamino Lending (klend-sdk)

The lending SDK enables interaction with Kamino's lending markets for deposits, borrows, repayments, and liquidations.

### Core Classes

| Class | Purpose |
|-------|---------|
| `KaminoMarket` | Load and interact with lending markets |
| `KaminoAction` | Build lending transactions (deposit, borrow, repay, withdraw) |
| `KaminoObligation` | Manage user obligations (positions) |
| `KaminoReserve` | Access reserve configurations and stats |
| `VanillaObligation` | Standard obligation type |

### Initialize Market

```typescript
import { KaminoMarket } from "@kamino-finance/klend-sdk";
import { Connection, PublicKey } from "@solana/web3.js";

const connection = new Connection("https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com");

// Main lending market address
const MAIN_MARKET = new PublicKey("7u3HeHxYDLhnCoErrtycNokbQYbWGzLs6JSDqGAv5PfF");

// Load market with basic data
const market = await KaminoMarket.load(connection, MAIN_MARKET);

// Load reserves for detailed data
await market.loadReserves();

// Get specific reserve
const usdcReserve = market.getReserve("USDC");
console.log("Total Deposits:", usdcReserve?.stats.totalDepositsWads.toString());
console.log("LTV:", usdcReserve?.stats.loanToValueRatio);
console.log("Borrow APY:", usdcReserve?.stats.borrowInterestAPY);
console.log("Supply APY:", usdcReserve?.stats.supplyInterestAPY);

// Refresh all data including obligations
await market.refreshAll();
```

### Deposit Collateral

  wallet.publicKey,
  usdcReserve
);

// Check if reserve is part of obligation
const isReserveInObligation = market.isReserveInObligation(
  obligation,

) {
  // Calculate parameters for target leverage
  const leverageParams = await calculateLeverageMultiplier(
    market,
    collateralToken,
    borrowToken,
    depositAmount,
    targetLeverage
  );

  // Build leverage deposit instructions
  const { instructions, lookupTables } = await getLeverageDepositIxns(
    market,
    wallet.publicKey,
    collateralToken,
    borrowToken,
    depositAmount,
    leverageParams,
    new VanillaObligation(PROGRAM_ID)
  );

  // Execute transaction with address lookup tables
  const tx = new VersionedTransaction(/* ... */);
  return await sendAndConfirmTransaction(connection, tx, [wallet]);
}
```

### Close Leveraged Position

```typescript
async function closeLeveragedPosition(
  market: KaminoMarket,
  wallet: Keypair,
  collateralToken: string,

) {
  const { instructions, lookupTables } = await getLeverageWithdrawIxns(
    market,
    wallet.publicKey,
    collateralToken,
    borrowToken,
    "max",  // Withdraw full position
    new VanillaObligation(PROGRAM_ID)
  );

  const tx = new VersionedTransaction(/* ... */);
  return await sendAndConfirmTransaction(connection, tx, [wallet]);
}
```

## Obligation Orders

Automate actions based on LTV or price thresholds.

### LTV-Based Orders

```typescript
import {
  createLtvBasedOrder,
  LtvOrderType
} from "@kamino-finance/klend-sdk/obligation_orders";

// Create order to repay when LTV exceeds threshold
async function createLtvOrder(

    wallet.publicKey,
    new VanillaObligation(PROGRAM_ID),
    {
      type: LtvOrderType.REPAY_ON_HIGH_LTV,
      triggerLtv: targetLtv,
      repayToken,
      repayAmount: repayAmount.toString(),
    }
  );

  const tx = new Transaction().add(orderIx);
  return await sendAndConfirmTransaction(connection, tx, [wallet]);
}
```

### Price-Based Orders

```typescript
import {
  createPriceBasedOrder,
  PriceOrderType

  wallet: Keypair,
  tokenSymbol: string,
  triggerPrice: Decimal,
  action: "repay" | "withdraw"
) {
  const orderIx = await createPriceBasedOrder(
    market,
    wallet.publicKey,
    new VanillaObligation(PROGRAM_ID),
    {

}
```

## Scope Oracle (scope-sdk)

Oracle price aggregator providing reliable pricing data.

### Initialize Scope

```typescript
import { Scope } from "@kamino-finance/scope-sdk";
import { Connection, clusterApiUrl } from "@solana/web3.js";

const connection = new Connection(clusterApiUrl("mainnet-beta"));
const scope = new Scope("mainnet-beta", connection);
```

### Get Oracle Prices

```typescript
// Get all oracle prices
const prices = await scope.getOraclePrices();

// Prices indexed by token
console.log("SOL Price:", prices.get("SOL"));
console.log("USDC Price:", prices.get("USDC"));

// Get specific price
const solPrice = await scope.getPrice("SOL");
console.log("SOL/USD:", solPrice.price.toString());
console.log("Timestamp:", solPrice.timestamp);
console.log("Confidence:", solPrice.confidence);
```

### Price Feeds

Scope aggregates from multiple oracle sources:
- **Pyth**: Real-time market prices
- **Switchboard**: Decentralized oracle network
- **TWAP**: Time-weighted average prices
- **CLMM Prices**: DEX-derived prices

```typescript
// Get price with source info
const priceData = await scope.getPriceWithMetadata("SOL");
console.log("Price:", priceData.price);
console.log("Source:", priceData.source);
console.log("Age (slots):", priceData.ageSlots);
```

```

## Best Practices

### Health Factor Monitoring

```typescript
async function checkHealthFactor(
  market: KaminoMarket,
  wallet: PublicKey
): Promise<number> {
  await market.refreshAll();
  const obligation = await market.getUserVanillaObligation(wallet);

  if (!obligation) return Infinity;

  const stats = obligation.refreshedStats;
  const healthFactor = stats.borrowLimit / stats.borrowedValue;

  if (healthFactor < 1.1) {
    console.warn("WARNING: Health factor below 1.1, consider adding collateral");
  }

  return healthFactor;
}
```

### Transaction Optimization

```typescript
// Use lookup tables for smaller transactions
const { instructions, lookupTables } = await kaminoAction.buildWithLookupTables();

// Create versioned transaction
const messageV0 = new TransactionMessage({
  payerKey: wallet.publicKey,
  recentBlockhash: (await connection.getLatestBlockhash()).blockhash,
  instructions,
}).compileToV0Message(lookupTables);

const tx = new VersionedTransaction(messageV0);
tx.sign([wallet]);

await sendAndConfirmTransaction(connection, tx, [wallet]);
```

### Slippage Protection

```typescript
// For liquidity operations, always use slippage protection
const slippage = new Decimal(0.005); // 0.5% max slippage

const depositIxs = await kamino.deposit(
  strategy,
  wallet.publicKey,
  tokenAAmount,
  tokenBAmount,
  slippage  // Protects against price movement
);
```
