Order Execution Engine

The execution engine is VampedAlpha’s transaction brain. It transforms validated trade signals into actionable Solana instructions and submits them with deterministic signing. Every order passes through three internal phases: Intent Validation, Transaction Assembly, and Post-Execution Confirmation.

During Intent Validation, the engine confirms that the order parameters (token pair, price, slippage, and amount) meet user-defined and protocol constraints. This includes pre-trade checks for liquidity, balance sufficiency, and token account readiness. The Transaction Assembly phase constructs Solana instruction payloads—often through DEX program interfaces such as Jupiter, Raydium, or custom AMMs—packaged into a signed transaction ready for dispatch.

For concurrency, the engine employs a transaction queue scheduler. It ensures that multiple strategy outputs can execute in parallel without nonce conflicts. Queue prioritization allows urgent signals (e.g., copy-trade mirror events) to bypass low-priority batch trades. A built-in rate controller caps dispatch frequency per second to prevent node throttling.

Confirmation tracking occurs through getSignatureStatuses with commitment confirmed or finalized. Failed or dropped transactions trigger reassembly with updated blockhashes. Each transaction outcome is logged in an immutable ledger for later analysis. The execution engine’s robustness directly determines profitability and reliability—missed or duplicated transactions translate to financial loss in automated systems.

Technically, this subsystem benefits from a high-precision clock synchronization mechanism, as Solana timestamps are validator-based. The engine periodically calibrates local time drift using slot height deltas, ensuring precise slippage windows for time-sensitive sniping.
