registry

On-chain registry of markets - symbol → mints, pools, positions, active flag.

The registry program is the canonical on-chain index of Continuum markets. It maps each asset symbol to the corresponding mints and per-side pool addresses. Frontends and bots query it (or the bundled market-addresses.json snapshot) to discover live markets.

Devnet ID: REGnHqnJMxLoRAKX5RqPd9VJGcZBNgmg4xs5bVGGTap

The registry is informational. Mint-redeem and CLP do not depend on it; they use direct PDA derivation. The registry is for discovery - when you don’t know which markets exist, ask the registry.

Accounts

RegistryState PDA

seeds = [b"registry"]

Field	Type	Purpose
authority	Pubkey	Admin signer for registry updates
market_count	u32	Number of registered markets

MarketEntry PDA

seeds = [b"market", symbol_bytes_padded_to_16]

Symbol is the asset ticker padded with zero bytes to 16 bytes. So for "QQQ", the seed is b"QQQ\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0".

Field	Type	Purpose
symbol	[u8; 16]	Padded ticker
long_mint / short_mint	Pubkey	L and S SPL mints
venue	enum	Venue tag; currently always the native CLP Pool PDAs
long_pool / short_pool	Pubkey	Native per-side CLMM Pool PDAs
long_position / short_position	Pubkey	Legacy LP position pointers (unused in v2)
is_active	bool	If false, the market is paused

Instructions

All instructions are admin-only.

initialize

Create the RegistryState PDA. One-shot.

register_market(symbol, long_mint, short_mint, long_pool, short_pool, venue)

Add a new entry. Symbol must be ≤ 16 chars.

update_market(...)

Update mints, pools, or venue for an existing entry.

update_positions(symbol, long_position, short_position)

Legacy: mirrored external LP position pubkeys in v1. Unused since the v2 cutover to native books.

set_active(symbol, is_active)

Flip the active flag. Set false to soft-pause a market without modifying anything else.

transfer_authority(new_authority)

Rotate admin. On mainnet, this will be a Squads multisig.

Errors

Code	Name	Cause
6000	SymbolTooLong	Symbol > 16 chars

TypeScript

import { Program } from "@coral-xyz/anchor";
import { PublicKey } from "@solana/web3.js";
import registryIdl from "./registry.json";

const registry = new Program(registryIdl, provider);

// Pad symbol to 16 bytes
const padded = Buffer.alloc(16);
padded.write("QQQ");
const [marketEntry] = PublicKey.findProgramAddressSync(
  [Buffer.from("market"), padded],
  registry.programId,
);

const entry = await registry.account.marketEntry.fetch(marketEntry);
console.log("L mint:", entry.longMint.toBase58());
console.log("Long pool:", entry.longPool.toBase58());
console.log("Active:", entry.isActive);

To enumerate all markets:

const accounts = await registry.account.marketEntry.all();
console.log(accounts.map(a => ({
  symbol: Buffer.from(a.account.symbol).toString().replace(/\0+$/, ""),
  active: a.account.isActive,
})));

Why use the registry vs market-addresses.json

Use case	Best path
Local development, fast prototyping	market-addresses.json (pre-computed snapshot)
Production frontend, must be live	Registry - markets can be added/paused without redeploy
Bot needs to detect new markets	Registry, polled
Operator scripts, controlled deploy	Either - the JSON ships with the protocol repo

The frontend currently uses market-addresses.json for fast load + the registry as the canonical source it refreshes from.
