Programs overview

The five Anchor programs that make up the Continuum protocol. Devnet IDs, IDLs, and where each fits.

Continuum’s protocol layer is split across five Anchor programs. They are deployed to devnet today; mainnet IDs will be added when mainnet launches.

Program	Devnet ID	Role
mint-redeem	5MBjhNUUguLTPNR5WG6YBUUw7vUcxQ14ARw3NsS3rKu4	User-facing mint and redeem at NAV; keeper-only single-sided ixns.
oracle	5vxiCrDpFnQ2W5QtgZBC66K2XTC19bjVBjinGYYBsadC	Pyth/Hermes price observations, TWAP, risk-state machine.
clp	8xauDRjw9XRyk4FE3hW1JKjD8nC87gfr59Xig1dJqLES	Capital and Liquidity Provider - vaults, Meteora DLMM proxy.
registry	REGnHqnJMxLoRAKX5RqPd9VJGcZBNgmg4xs5bVGGTap	Market registry (symbol → market PDA + pools).
faucet (devnet only)	9tUeQAPEtVSB68NSfvFAqfwaB74GuVxm6Zbp1hrMiNKY	Drip cUSDC for testing.
governance (scaffolded, not active)	6es5KcjMWKGhVWrttUytYiZ3YELXe4HQyrmsMVdbVawT	CNTM staking, listings, parameter votes (future).

How they relate

mint-redeem ─── reads NAV from ──► oracle
mint-redeem ─── checked by      ──► clp (OI cap, inventory)
clp ─── proxies CPI to ──► Meteora DLMM (pool ops)
clp ─── allocates to    ──► per-market vaults
registry ─── lists ──► market PDAs
faucet ─── mints ──► cUSDC (devnet only)

IDLs

IDLs (Anchor interface description language) are JSON files describing each program’s instructions, accounts, and types. You need them to build instruction calls from a TypeScript client.

The canonical IDLs ship in the protocol repo at target/idl/<program>.json. After cloning the repo and running anchor build, they regenerate. They’re also packaged in frontend/lib/idl/ for the official frontend.

Drop them into your project:

# From a clone of the protocol repo:
cp target/idl/mint_redeem.json my-app/idl/
cp target/idl/oracle.json my-app/idl/
cp target/idl/clp.json my-app/idl/
cp target/idl/faucet.json my-app/idl/

Then in your TypeScript:

import idl from "./idl/mint_redeem.json";
import { Program } from "@coral-xyz/anchor";

const program = new Program(idl, provider);

Anchor v0.32 derives types from the IDL automatically. No separate type generation step.

PDAs at a glance

Program	PDA	Seeds
mint-redeem	Market	[b"market", asset_symbol]
mint-redeem	UserCollateralPosition	[b"user_collateral", owner, market]
mint-redeem	FeeWaiver	[b"fee_waiver", donor, market]
oracle	OracleConfig	[b"oracle_config", market_id]
oracle	OracleFeed	[b"oracle_feed", oracle_config, pyth_oracle]
clp	GlobalClp	[b"global_clp"]
clp	Clp	[b"clp", market_id]
clp	AdminWithdrawWindow	[b"admin_withdraw_window"]
registry	RegistryState	[b"registry"]
registry	MarketEntry	[b"market", symbol_padded_to_16]
faucet	FaucetState	[b"faucet", mint]
faucet	DripRecord	[b"drip", mint, recipient]

Authority model

Different operations require different signers:

Authority	What it controls
Anyone	mint_paired, redeem_paired, redeem_paired_with_waiver, donate_to_vault, faucet::drip
market.keeper_authority	keeper_mint_single, keeper_redeem_single, update_risk_state, all clp_* Meteora-proxy ixns
market.authority (admin)	update_market, update_keeper_authority, update_market_oracle, configure_*
globalClp.authority (admin)	admin_fund, admin_withdraw, initialize_clp (per-market), update_oi_cap
oracle.admin_authority	update_oracle_config, configure_health_thresholds, force_price (devnet), emergency_pause
oracle.keeper_authority	update_price_observation

The keeper_authority and admin_authority are typically separate keypairs - a keeper rotation doesn’t require admin signature. Mainnet authorities will be Squads multisigs.

Errors

Each program exposes its own error catalog. Anchor maps them to numeric codes starting at 6000 per program.

Full lookup table: Reference → Errors.

Programs:

• mint-redeem errors
• oracle errors
• clp errors
• registry errors
• faucet errors

Choosing what to call

Goal	Program	Instruction
Mint a paired position	mint-redeem	mint_paired
Redeem at NAV	mint-redeem	redeem_paired
Read NAV / risk state	mint-redeem (Market account)	account fetch only
Read fine-grained oracle data	oracle (OracleConfig)	account fetch only
Read OI cap / depth	clp (Clp account)	account fetch only
Get devnet cUSDC	faucet	drip
Operator: list a market	mint-redeem + clp	initialize_market then initialize_clp
Operator: fund treasury	clp	admin_fund

For trading L/S directly (not at NAV), use Meteora DLMM SDK - see Trade.
