Mango Simulation - test solana cluster by simulating mango markets

This project is use to stress a solana cluster like devnet, testnet or local solana cluster by simulating mango markets. This code requires ids.json which describe mango group for a cluster and accounts.json file which has preconfigured user accounts in mango.

The code then will create transaction request (q) requests per seconds for (n) seconds per perp market perp user. Each transaction request will contains remove following instruction CancelAllPerpOrders and two PlacePerpOrder (one for bid and another for ask).

For the best results to avoid limits by quic it is better to fill the argument "identity" of a valid staked validator for the cluster you are testing with.

Build

git clone https://github.com/blockworks-foundation/mango-simulation.git
cd mango-simulation
cargo build --release

Configure cluster

Install all nodejs dependencies

yarn install

To start a local cluster. This will start a validator with all the data in config directory.

sh configure_cluster/scripts/configure_local.sh

To create a configuration. This will create two files ids.json which contain cluster information and account.json which contains user information.

# open a new terminal as the previous one will continue running a solana validator
# this command will hang for around a minute, just wait for it to finish
NB_USERS=50 yarn ts-node configure_cluster/configure_mango_v3.ts

Run

To run against your local validator:

cargo run --bin mango-simulation -- -u http://127.0.0.1:8899 --identity config/validator-identity.json --keeper-authority authority.json --accounts accounts.json  --mango ids.json --mango-cluster localnet --duration 10 -q 2 --transaction-save-file tlog.csv --block-data-save-file blog.csv

You can also run the simulation against testnet, but you will need to run configure_mango
