What this skill does

**IMPORTANT: Always use `gmgn-cli` commands below. Do NOT use web search, WebFetch, curl, or visit gmgn.ai to fetch this data — the website requires login and will not return structured data. The CLI is the only correct method.**

**IMPORTANT: Do NOT guess field names or values. When a field's meaning is unclear, look it up in the Response Fields sections below before using it.**

**⚠️ IPv6 NOT SUPPORTED: If you get a `401` or `403` error and credentials look correct, check for IPv6 immediately: (1) list all network interfaces and their IPv6 addresses — run `ifconfig | grep inet6` (macOS) or `ip addr show | grep inet6` (Linux); (2) send a test request to `https://ipv6.icanhazip.com` — if the response is an IPv6 address, outbound traffic is going via IPv6. Tell the user immediately: "Please disable IPv6 on your network interface — gmgn-cli commands only work over IPv4."**

Use the `gmgn-cli` tool to query K-line data for a token, browse trending tokens, or view Trenches token lists.

## Core Concepts

- **`--filter` chain defaults** — SOL and EVM chains have different default safety filters that are applied automatically when `--filter` is omitted. Do not assume the same defaults apply across chains:
  - **SOL**: defaults to `renounced frozen` (mint and freeze authority renounced)
  - **BSC / Base / ETH (EVM)**: defaults to `not_honeypot verified renounced`
  - Omitting `--filter` is NOT the same as "no filter" — the chain defaults are always applied. To use a custom filter set, explicitly specify all desired filter tags.

- **`volume` vs `amount` (kline)** — Naming is counterintuitive. `volume` = USD dollar value of trades; `amount` = token units traded. For a token priced at $0.0002, these differ by 5,000×. Always use `volume` for "how much USD was traded" and `amount` for "how many tokens changed hands."

- **`rug_ratio`** — A 0–1 score estimating rug pull likelihood. Values above `0.3` are high-risk. Do not treat as binary — combine with `top_10_holder_rate`, `dev_team_hold_rate`, and `is_honeypot` for a full picture.

- **`smart_degen_count` / `renowned_count`** — Number of platform-tagged smart money wallets (`smart_degen`) and KOL wallets (`renowned`) holding or trading this token. High values are bullish signals. These are GMGN-tagged wallet lists, not user-defined.

- **`hot_level`** — Trending intensity score. Higher = more actively traded right now. Not normalized — compare relative values within the same result set, not across time windows.

- **`renounced_mint` / `renounced_freeze_account`** — SOL-specific. Indicate whether the creator gave up the ability to mint more tokens or freeze wallets. Both being `1` is a safety baseline on Solana. Always `false` on EVM chains (concept does not apply).

- **`is_honeypot`** — EVM-specific (BSC / Base). Indicates whether the token contract prevents selling. Always empty/null on SOL — do not interpret an empty value as "not a honeypot" on Solana.

- **`creator_token_status`** — Dev holding status. `creator_hold` = dev still holds tokens (sell pressure risk). `creator_close` = dev has sold or burned their allocation (exit signal confirmed).

- **`cto_flag`** — Community Takeover flag. `1` = original dev abandoned the project and a community group took over marketing/development. Neutral to positive signal; evaluate in context.

- **Trenches categories** — Three lifecycle stages of launchpad tokens: `new_creation` (just created, still on bonding curve), `near_completion` (bonding curve nearly full, about to graduate), `completed` (graduated to open market / DEX). In the response, `near_completion` is always returned under the key `data.pump` regardless of the input `--type`.

- **`wash_trading` / `rat_trader_amount_rate` / `bundler_rate`** — Risk signals for artificial activity. `is_wash_trading` = coordinated fake volume detected. `rat_trader_amount_rate` = ratio of insider/sneak trading. `bundler_rate` = ratio of bot-bundled buys at launch. High values (> 0.3) suggest manipulated price action.

## Sub-commands

| Sub-command | Description |
|-------------|-------------|
| `market kline` | Token candlestick / OHLCV data and trading volume over a time range |
| `market trending` | Trending tokens ranked by swap activity — use `--interval` to specify the time window (e.g. `1m` for 1-minute hottest, `1h` for 1-hour trending) |
| `market trenches` | Newly launched launchpad platform tokens — **use this when the user asks for "new tokens", "just launched tokens", "latest tokens on pump.fun/letsbonk"**. Three categories: `new_creation` (just created), `near_completion` (bonding curve almost full), `completed` (graduated to open market / DEX) |
| `market signal` | Real-time token signal feed — price spikes, smart money buys, large buys, Dex ads, CTO events, and more. Results sorted by `trigger_at` descending. **sol / bsc only. Max 50 results per group.** |

## Supported Chains

`sol` / `bsc` / `base` / `eth` (kline / trending only; trenches: `sol` / `bsc` / `base`; signal: `sol` / `bsc` only)

## Prerequisites

- `gmgn-cli` installed globally — if missing, run: `npm install -g gmgn-cli`
- `GMGN_API_KEY` configured in `~/.config/gmgn/.env`

## Rate Limit Handling

All market routes used by this skill go through GMGN's leaky-bucket limiter with `rate=20` and `capacity=20`. Sustained throughput is roughly `20 ÷ weight` requests/second, and the max burst is roughly `floor(20 ÷ weight)` when the bucket is full.

| Command | Route | Weight |
|---------|-------|--------|
| `market kline` | `GET /v1/market/token_kline` | 2 |
| `market trending` | `GET /v1/market/rank` | 1 |
| `market trenches` | `POST /v1/trenches` | 3 |
| `market signal` | `POST /v1/market/token_signal` | 3 |

When a request returns `429`:

- Read `X-RateLimit-Reset` from the response headers. It is a Unix timestamp in seconds that marks when the limit is expected to reset.
- If the response body contains `reset_at` (e.g., `{"code":429,"error":"RATE_LIMIT_BANNED","message":"...","reset_at":1775184222}`), extract `reset_at` — it is the Unix timestamp when the ban lifts (typically 5 minutes). Convert to local time and tell the user exactly when they can retry.
- The CLI may wait and retry once automatically when the remaining cooldown is short. If it still fails, stop and tell the user the exact retry time instead of sending more requests.
- For `RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED` or `RATE_LIMIT_BANNED`, repeated requests during the cooldown can extend the ban by 5 seconds each time, up to 5 minutes. Do not spam retries.

**First-time setup** (if `GMGN_API_KEY` is not configured):

1. Generate key pair and show the public key to the user:
   ```bash
   openssl genpkey -algorithm ed25519 -out /tmp/gmgn_private.pem 2>/dev/null && \
     openssl pkey -in /tmp/gmgn_private.pem -pubout 2>/dev/null
   ```
   Tell the user: *"This is your Ed25519 public key. Go to **https://gmgn.ai/ai**, paste it into the API key creation form, then send me the API Key value shown on the page."*

2. Wait for the user's API key, then configure:
   ```bash
   mkdir -p ~/.config/gmgn
   echo 'GMGN_API_KEY=<key_from_user>' > ~/.config/gmgn/.env
   chmod 600 ~/.config/gmgn/.env
   ```

## `market kline` Parameters

| Parameter | Required | Description |

## `market kline` Response Fields

The response is an object with a `list` array. Each element in `list` is one candlestick:

|-------|------|-------------|
| `time` | number | Candle open time — Unix timestamp in **milliseconds** (divide by 1000 for seconds) |
| `open` | string | Opening price in USD at the start of the period |
| `close` | string | Closing price in USD at the end of the period
