Setup

In this step, we will initialize the Nord SDK and create a user instance.

Initialize the Client

First, create a Nord instance to interact with the 01 Exchange. You will need the 01 Exchange App Key and a Solana RPC connection.

Note: For this guide, we are connecting to the Devnet.


import { Nord } from "@n1xyz/nord-ts";
import { Connection } from "@solana/web3.js";
 
// 1. Setup Solana Connection
const connection = new Connection("https://api.devnet.solana.com");
 
// 2. Initialize Nord Client
const nord = await Nord.new({
  app: "zoau54n5U24GHNKqyoziVaVxgsiQYnPMx33fKmLLCT5", // 01 Exchange App Key
  solanaConnection: connection,
  webServerUrl: "https://zo-devnet.n1.xyz", // Devnet URL
});
 
console.log("Nord client initialized!");

Create a User

To perform actions like trading or successful deposits, you need a NordUser. The easiest way to get started programmatically is using a private key.


import { NordUser } from "@n1xyz/nord-ts";
import { Keypair } from "@solana/web3.js";
import bs58 from "bs58"; // requires 'bs58' package if using string key
 
// Replace with your actual private key (Uint8Array or base58 string)
// WARNING: Never commit real private keys to version control!
const privateKey = "YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY_HERE"; 
 
const user = NordUser.fromPrivateKey(nord, privateKey);
 
// Update local state to ensure we have the latest account info
await user.updateAccountId();
await user.fetchInfo();
 
console.log("User initialized:", user.address.toString());
