The Revival

From Dead Protocol to Universal DCA Tool

Parrot Protocol built a TWAP bot for Solana DCA trading. It was tightly coupled to Raydium AMM v4 and Serum DEX — both now defunct.

Serum was sunset after the FTX collapse in 2022. The bot became completely non-functional. Dead code, dead protocol, dead infrastructure.

We replaced every dead dependency with Jupiter v1 API — the dominant Solana DEX aggregator. The bot now supports any token pair with optimal routing across all DEXes.

What Changed

Dead Infrastructure → Modern Stack

⚡

Jupiter v1 Integration

Replaced dead Raydium/Serum backend with Jupiter — optimal routing across every Solana DEX.

🌐

Any Token Pair

Not limited to PRT anymore. Trade SOL, USDC, BONK, JUP, WIF, or any mint address.

📚

Symbol Resolution

Built-in token symbol lookup. Use "SOL:USDC" instead of raw 44-character mint addresses.

⚙

Configurable Slippage

Set slippage tolerance in basis points. Default 2% (200 bps), adjustable per strategy.

🛠

Original Architecture

Preserved the scheduler, balance tracking, stop conditions, and auto-transfer system.

🚀

Production Ready

Go binary, Docker support, cross-compile to Linux. Same deployment story as original.

Why This Exists

Self-Custodied DCA on Solana

Dollar-cost averaging beats timing the market. Instead of buying $500 of SOL at one price, buy $8 every hour for 3 days. You get the average price, not the worst one. This bot automates that — on your own wallet, no exchange, no custody risk.

Usage

Drop-in CLI for DCA strategies

DCA into USDC every 5 minutes 
go run cmd/cli.go --pair SOL:USDC --amount 0.1 --interval 5m --side buy
sell BONK for SOL every hour 
go run cmd/cli.go --pair BONK:SOL --amount 1000000 --interval 1h --side sell --fromDecimals 5
DCA with stop condition + auto-transfer 
go run cmd/cli.go --pair SOL:JUP --amount 0.05 --interval 30m \
  --stopAmount 1000 --transferThreshold 500 --transferAddress YOUR_WALLET
