Quote Program Accounts

Solana/SVM feed-hash integrations use canonical quote-program accounts. These accounts are derived from the queue public key and feed ID, then written by managed updates from queue.fetchManagedUpdateIxs(...).

Use this path for new custom feeds and feed-hash integrations. The older PullFeed.fetchUpdateIx(...) path targets classic PullFeed accounts and requires compatible legacy queue/gateway support.

Derive The Account

import { OracleQuote } from "@switchboard-xyz/on-demand";

const [quoteAccount] = OracleQuote.getCanonicalPubkey(queue.pubkey, [feedId]);

The same feed ID and queue always derive the same quote account. If your program accepts a quote account, constrain it to the canonical address for the queue and feed ID.

Read Stored Data

Stored quote accounts are variable-length. Do not parse feed values by hard-coding byte offsets from a simulation or one account instance.

In Rust, use the SDK account types:

• SwitchboardQuote: stored quote-program account

• PackedFeedInfo: one feed result inside the quote

• feeds_slice() / feeds(): access feed results

• feed_id / feed_id(): 32-byte feed ID

• feed_value / feed_value(): raw i128 value, scaled by Switchboard precision

• value(): decimal value helper

• min_oracle_samples / min_oracle_samples(): oracle-sample quorum recorded with the feed

use switchboard_on_demand::QuoteVerifier;

let quote = QuoteVerifier::new()
    .queue(&ctx.accounts.queue)
    .slothash_sysvar(&ctx.accounts.slothashes)
    .ix_sysvar(&ctx.accounts.instructions)
    .clock_slot(ctx.accounts.clock.slot)
    .max_age(50)
    .verify_account(&ctx.accounts.quote_account)?;

for feed in quote.feeds() {
    msg!("Feed {}: {}", feed.hex_id(), feed.value());
}

JavaScript Decode Scope

OracleQuote.decode(...) parses the Ed25519 quote instruction payload used by managed updates. It is useful when inspecting a quote instruction before it is written on-chain.

It is not a stable raw account decoder for stored quote-program account data. For stored account parsing, use the Rust/on-chain SwitchboardQuote account types until a dedicated JavaScript account decoder is available.

Troubleshooting

If queue.fetchManagedUpdateIxs(...) returns Ed25519 + quote-program instructions but PullFeed.fetchUpdateIx(...) or pullFeedSubmitResponseConsensus returns ORACLE_UNAVAILABLE, the integration is using the classic PullFeed path against quote-program infrastructure. Move the integration to managed quote-program updates and canonical quote accounts.

This is separate from feed-parameter scaling errors. If simulation succeeds but signed updates fail with oracle validation errors such as RangeExceeded, check the feed parameter units, especially raw v2 maxJobRangePct.
