## Abstract

Following the upgrading of the Pyth Express Relay program on Solana ([OP-PIP54](https://forum.pyth.network/t/passed-op-pip-54-upgrade-the-pyth-express-relay-program-on-solana/1977)) to introduce swapping with fees, this proposal aims to upgrade the Pyth Express Relay Program to introduce an instruction to claim DAO fees.

## Rationale

The swapping mechanism introduced in [OP-PIP54](https://forum.pyth.network/t/passed-op-pip-54-upgrade-the-pyth-express-relay-program-on-solana/1977) has resulted in the accumulation of ~25k USD notional worth of SPL token fees. Currently, the program has an instruction to withdraw SOL-denominated fees to the DAO but not to withdraw SPL-denominated fees.

We are proposing to upgrade the Express Relay program to include a withdrawal instruction for SPL token fees.

## Description

The update to the program consists of adding a new instruction (`withdraw_spl_fees`) to extract fees of the specified SPL token mint to a specified token account.

## Implementation Plan

- Extend the [Pyth Express Relay Program](https://solscan.io/account/PytERJFhAKuNNuaiXkApLfWzwNwSNDACpigT3LwQfou) with a `withdraw_spl_fees` instruction:
