Overview
The Sonar settlement sale program is an Anchor-based Solana program for token sales. It follows the same commitment, cancellation, and settlement lifecycle as the EVM SettlementSale contract, adapted for Solana’s account model. Participants commit SPL tokens during the commitment stage. Clearing mechanics and final allocations are computed offchain by Sonar; accepted amounts and refunds are settled onchain.For standard sale configurations, Sonar deploys and manages this program for you.

Program Derived Addresses
All program state lives in PDAs. Seeds use raw bytes — not the UUID string representation.sale_uuid and entity_id are 16-byte raw UUID values. Entity IDs from the Sonar API may arrive as 0x-prefixed hex or UUID-formatted strings. Strip the 0x prefix; if hyphens are present, parse as a UUID, otherwise decode as raw hex.
Instructions
place_bid
Places or updates a bid. Handles first bids and bid increases with the same call.
The instruction verifies the purchase permit signature via instruction introspection of the Ed25519 program. The Ed25519 verify instruction must be the immediately preceding instruction in the same transaction.
See the integration guide for a complete code example.
Arguments:
Accounts:
Bid constraints:
- Amount can only increase, never decrease
- Price can only increase, never decrease
- Lockup can be enabled but not disabled once set
- The permit must not be expired and the current time must fall within the
opens_at/closes_atwindow - The bidder’s wallet must match the wallet encoded in the permit
Account Types
SettlementSale
Top-level sale configuration and state. Fetch this account to retrieve permit_signer and vault before constructing a transaction.
EntityState
Per-entity commitment state. One account per entity per sale. Created on the entity’s first bid.
Use
program.account.entityState.fetchNullable(entityStatePDA) to read commitment progress. A null result means no bid has been placed; treat current_amount as zero.
WalletBinding
Associates a bidder wallet with an entity. Created on the wallet’s first bid; one wallet is bound to exactly one entity per sale.
Sale Stages
The program follows the same stage progression as the EVM contract: Stage transitions are managed by Sonar. Participants can callplace_bid during the Commitment stage, cancel during the Cancellation stage, and claim refunds when available. Settlement and pushed refunds are handled by Sonar.
Roles & Permissions
The SVM program uses a bitmask-based role system. Each sale has a single admin wallet (set at initialization) with full authority, plus granular roles that can be granted to operator wallets viagrant_role. The admin implicitly bypasses all role checks — it can call any instruction without an explicit role grant.
Admin
Full control over the sale. The admin can call any role-gated instruction and is the only wallet that can:- Grant and revoke roles (
grant_role,revoke_role) - Withdraw proceeds (
withdraw,withdraw_partial) - Change the proceeds receiver (
set_proceeds_receiver) - Transfer admin authority (
propose_authority/accept_authority)
propose_authority to nominate a new wallet, then the new wallet calls accept_authority. Until accepted, the original admin retains full control.
Held by: The project (set at initialization).
Recommended wallet: Multisig. This role controls funds and role management.
Manager
Manages stage transitions and operational parameters.
Instructions:
Granted to Sonar at deployment: Yes.
Recommended wallet: Hardware wallet. Stage transitions are time-sensitive and a hardware wallet avoids multisig coordination delays.
Settler
Records final allocations during the Settlement stage.
Instructions:
Granted to Sonar at deployment: Yes.
Recommended wallet: Software wallet. Settlement is run by Sonar, but a project-controlled wallet provides a backup.
SettlementFinalizer
Finalizes settlement, transitioning the sale from Settlement to Done. The caller provides an expected_total_accepted value as a sanity check.
Instructions:
Granted to Sonar at deployment: No.
Recommended wallet: Same multisig as admin. Finalizing settlement is a high-stakes one-time action.
Pauser
Emergency pause that immediately halts all user-facing instructions. The Pauser role can only pause the sale — unpausing requires the Manager role.
Instructions:
Granted to Sonar at deployment: Yes.
Recommended wallet: One or more software wallets held by on-call team members. Speed is critical for an emergency pause.
Refunder
Processes refunds for participants during the Done stage.
Instructions:
Granted to Sonar at deployment: Yes.
Recommended wallet: Software wallet. Refunds are run by Sonar, but a project-controlled wallet provides a backup.
permit_signer
Not a grantable role — this is the Ed25519 public key stored on the sale account that verifies purchase permit signatures. It is set at initialization and controlled by Sonar. See Permit Signing for details.
Initial Role Grants
The following roles are granted at initialization. The admin receives implicit access to all operations. Sonar uses two distinct addresses: a management wallet (for operational roles) and a separate signing key (for purchase permits). See the role descriptions above for details on each role.
Additional project team wallets can be granted roles after deployment via
grant_role (requires admin).
Public Instructions (No Role Required)
The following instructions can be called by any wallet:The project always retains admin authority and full control over the sale, including the ability to grant and revoke all roles. Sonar holds the
permit_signer key exclusively to authorize eligible participants.Permit Signing
Solana sales use Ed25519 signatures rather than the ECDSA signatures used by EVM sales. The permit is Borsh-encoded using thePurchasePermitV3 type from the program IDL.
The permit_signer field on the SettlementSale account holds the Ed25519 public key used to verify permits. This key is controlled by Sonar.
