# Phoenix Legacy Seat Manager Program

The Phoenix Legacy Seat Manager Program can serve as the Market Authority for a Phoenix Legacy Market and allows permissionless limit orders by autonomously managing Seats on a Phoenix Legacy Market.

For more information on what Seats are and why they are needed, see the [Seats](https://ellipsis-labs.gitbook.io/phoenix-dex/tRIkEFlLUzWK9uKO3W2V/getting-started/technical-overview/seats) section.

## Claim a Seat with the Phoenix Legacy Seat Manager

There are two ways to claim a seat for a market whose authority is the Phoenix Legacy Seat Manager:

1. **Command Line:**
   * Download the Phoenix Legacy CLI [here](https://github.com/Ellipsis-Labs/phoenix-cli#installation)
   * Execute command `phoenix-cli claim-seat -ud CS2H8nbAVVEUHWPF5extCSymqheQdkd4d7thik6eet9N`
     * `CS2...`is the market address on which you want to claim the seat
     * Make sure to specify the network that corresponds to the market address. Market `CS2...` is a devnet market so we add the `-ud` flag for devnet. For a mainnet market address, use the `-um` flag or use your own RPC URL with `-u YOUR_RPC_URL`
2. **SDK New Maker Instructions:**
   * **Typescript SDK**
     * Call the `getMakerSetupInstructionsForMarket` method
     * [Example Usage](https://github.com/Ellipsis-Labs/phoenix-sdk/blob/329bb644bb2b52ac9092b0896bdf9ae760c58d8a/typescript/phoenix-sdk/examples/placeLimitOrder.ts#L49)
   * **Rust SDK**
     * Call the `get_post_only_new_maker_ixs` on the `SDKClient` object, which will automatically create the instructions to claim a seat
     * [Example Usage](https://github.com/Ellipsis-Labs/phoenix-sdk/blob/329bb644bb2b52ac9092b0896bdf9ae760c58d8a/rust/examples/src/bin/place_order.rs#L60)
     * If you want to only generate the instruction to claim a seat without placing an order, you can call the `create_claim_seat_ix_if_needed` [function](https://github.com/Ellipsis-Labs/phoenix-sdk/blob/329bb644bb2b52ac9092b0896bdf9ae760c58d8a/rust/phoenix-sdk/src/utils.rs#L43)
     * If you want to generate instructions to create associated token accounts for a market and claim a seat on the market, you can call the `get_maker_setup_instructions_for_market` [method](https://github.com/Ellipsis-Labs/phoenix-sdk/blob/329bb644bb2b52ac9092b0896bdf9ae760c58d8a/rust/phoenix-sdk/src/sdk_client.rs#L900) on the `SDKClient` object
