Mento SDK

The Mento SDK is a TypeScript library for integrating applications with the Mento Protocol. SDK v3 is a complete rewrite for Mento V3: service-based design, viem-native (no ethers.js), first-class FPMM pool support, liquidity management, CDP borrow (trove operations), enriched pool details, and route caching for fast quote lookups.

Repository: mento-protocol/mento-sdk

Who this is for: JavaScript/TypeScript developers who want to swap, add/remove liquidity, borrow against collateral, discover pools and routes, get quotes, and check trading status—without calling the smart contracts directly.

What’s new in SDK v3

Capability	Description
Service-based architecture	Replaces the monolithic Mento class with focused services: pools, routes, quotes, swap, liquidity, borrow, tokens, trading.
viem-native	Drops ethers.js in favor of viem as a peer dependency; use any viem wallet/client for signing and sending transactions.
FPMM pool support	First-class support for V3 Fixed Product Market Maker pools alongside legacy Virtual (BiPoolManager) pools.
Liquidity management	Add/remove liquidity and zap in/out for FPMM pools (single-token entry/exit with configurable split).
Borrow (CDP)	Trove management via the Mento CDP system: open, close, adjust, repay; predict upfront fees and read system params.
Pool details	Enriched pool data: pricing, fees, rebalancing state, and trading limits so you can build UIs and risk checks.
Route caching	Pre-computed route cache for faster quote lookups; optional fresh route generation from the chain.
Dual CJS/ESM	Proper dual-format package with exports map for Node and bundlers.
Packaging & audit	Pre-release audit: missing exports, README accuracy, error handling, and packaging best practices addressed.

Services at a glance

After Mento.create(ChainId.CELO) (or custom RPC / viem client), you get a client with these namespaces:

Service	What you can do
mento.tokens	List Mento stable tokens and collateral assets.
mento.pools	Discover and inspect pools (FPMM + legacy). Get addresses, token info, pricing, fees, rebalancing state, and trading limits.
mento.routes	Find trading routes between any two tokens (direct and multi-hop). Use cached routes for speed or fresh from chain.
mento.quotes	Get expected swap output (or amount in for exact out). Oracle-priced, fee-adjusted.
mento.swap	Build swap transactions with optional approval; returns params you send with any viem wallet client.
mento.trading	Check circuit breaker and trading limit status: is a pair tradable? Full pool tradability status.
mento.liquidity	Add/remove liquidity to FPMM pools; zap in (single token → LP) and zap out (LP → single token). Get LP token balance.
mento.borrow	Open, adjust, close troves; repay; read trove data and system params; predict upfront fee before opening.

Quick start

import { Mento, ChainId, deadlineFromMinutes } from '@mento-protocol/mento-sdk'
import { parseUnits } from 'viem'

// Default public RPC
const mento = await Mento.create(ChainId.CELO)

// Or with custom RPC
const mento = await Mento.create(ChainId.CELO, 'https://your-rpc-url.com')

// Or with an existing viem PublicClient
const mento = await Mento.create(ChainId.CELO, yourPublicClient)

Supported chains: Celo Mainnet (ChainId.CELO, 42220), Celo Sepolia (ChainId.CELO_SEPOLIA, 11142220).
