This guide will walk you through creating your first GLAM vault using the CLI.

​
Prerequisites

Before starting, make sure you have:
  • GLAM CLI installed (Installation Guide)
  • A Solana wallet keypair file
  • Access to a Solana RPC endpoint

​
Step 1: Create Configuration File

1

Create config directory

Create the GLAM CLI configuration directory:
mkdir -p ~/.config/glam
2

Create config.json

Create a config.json file in ~/.config/glam/ with your settings:
~/.config/glam/config.json
{
  "cluster": "mainnet-beta",
  "json_rpc_url": "https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com",
  "keypair_path": "/path/to/your/keypair.json",
  "priority_fee": {
    "micro_lamports": 10000
  }
}
Replace /path/to/your/keypair.json with the actual path to your Solana wallet keypair.
3

Verify configuration

Check that your configuration is loaded correctly:
glam-cli env
You should see output showing your wallet address, RPC endpoint, and other settings:
GLAM Protocol program: GLAMpLuXu78TA4ao3FGZPr86CC7SjH8CPN7rJxSUVZe
Staging: false
Wallet connected: YourWalletAddress...
RPC endpoint: https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com
Priority fee: { micro_lamports: 10000 }
Jupiter API key: not configured
No active GLAM vault configured.

​
Step 2: Create Your First Vault

1

Create a vault configuration file

Create a JSON file with your vault parameters. Here’s a simple vault example:
vault-config.json
{
  "state": {
    "accountType": "vault",
    "name": "My First GLAM Vault",
    "enabled": true,
    "baseAssetMint": "So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112",
    "assets": [
      "So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112",
      "EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v"
    ]
  }
}
This creates a vault with SOL as the base asset and allows holding SOL and USDC.
  • So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112 is wrapped SOL (wSOL)
  • EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v is USDC
2

Initialize the vault

Create your vault using the configuration file:
glam-cli vault create vault-config.json
You’ll be asked to confirm the operation. After confirmation, the vault will be created and you’ll see:
State PDA: 8xKz...
Vault PDA: 9yLm...
Initialized vault: <transaction-signature>
The vault is automatically set as your active vault. All subsequent commands will operate on this vault unless you specify a different one.

​
Step 3: List Your Vaults

View all vaults where you are the owner or have delegate access: 
glam-cli vault list
Output: 
Type   Vault State       Vault PDA         Launch Date  Name
-----  ----------------  ----------------  -----------  --------------------
vault  8xKz...           9yLm...           2026-03-03   My First GLAM Vault
Use glam-cli vault list --all to see all GLAM vaults on the network, or glam-cli vault list --owner-only to see only vaults you own.

​
Step 4: Check Vault Balances

View the token balances in your vault: 
glam-cli vault token-balances
This displays all tokens held by the vault with their current USD values: 
Token  Mint                                          Amount        Value (USD)
-----  --------------------------------------------  ------------  -----------
SOL    N/A                                           0.000000000   0.000000
USDC   EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v  0             0.000000
