# Marinade Rust SDK

There is no supported standalone Rust SDK. If you are building in Rust, use one of the two routes below.

{% hint style="warning" %}
`github.com/marinade-finance/marinade-sdk` exists but was **archived (read-only) on 2026-08-28** and has had no real commits in years. Do not build against it.
{% endhint %}

### Option 1: The Shared Rust Crates

Marinade maintains its Rust client code in [marinade-common-rs-cli](https://github.com/marinade-finance/marinade-common-rs-cli). The crate you want is **`marinade-client-rs`**, which provides instruction builders and RPC state queries for the Liquid Staking program. The same repository ships `dynsigner` and `marinade-common-cli` for CLI work.

These crates back Marinade's own Rust tooling, so they track the on-chain program, but they are published for internal use first. Expect the surface to move.

***

### Option 2: Generate A Client From The IDL

Every Marinade program publishes its Anchor IDL on chain. Fetch it and generate a client with your preferred Rust codegen. See [Anchor IDL](/developers/anchor-idl.md) for the fetch command and the list of programs.

This is the most stable route for an external integration, because the IDL is the contract.

***

### If TypeScript Is An Option

The TypeScript SDK is the supported, documented integration path and covers more of the protocol. See [Marinade Ts/Js SDK](/developers/marinade-ts-js-sdk.md).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.marinade.finance/developers/marinade-rust-sdk.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
