Unified zero-copy portfolio

QuantDesk V2 introduces a unified zero-copy portfolio architecture. Unlike V1, which managed separate Program Derived Addresses (PDAs) for balances, positions, and orders, V2 consolidates all trader state into a single, high-performance account.

The V1 to V2 shift

V1: fragmented state

In V1, every position and open order required its own account creation and rent payment. This led to:
  • Higher latency: multiple RPC calls to fetch complete state.
  • Complexity: higher risk of state divergence.
  • Cost: multiple rent-exempt deposits.

V2: the unified advantage

V2 uses a single PortfolioAccount PDA that acts as a high-density, zero-copy buffer.
  • Atomic execution: balances, positions, and open orders update in a single transaction.
  • Sub-ms parsing: with zero-copy (via bytemuck), the UI and bots read the entire account state without expensive deserialization.
  • Deterministic PDAs: each user has exactly one PortfolioAccount, derived from their wallet address and the market program ID.

Architectural benefits

Performance

Zero-copy means the SBF program interacts directly with the account’s memory. For you, that means faster order placement and liquidation protection.

Reliability

With all state consolidated, there is no “position drift.” If the account exists, the state is consistent across balances, margins, and active trades.

Devnet readiness

The V2 unified portfolio is the core of our devnet deployment, so what you see in the terminal is a faithful representation of your on-chain state.
