This skill should be used when the user asks to 'swap tokens', 'trade OKB for USDC', 'buy tokens', 'sell tokens', 'exchange crypto', 'convert tokens', 'swap SOL for USDC', 'get a swap quote', 'execute a trade', 'find the best swap route', 'cheapest way to swap', 'optimal swap', 'compare swap rates', or mentions swapping, trading, buying, selling, or exchanging tokens on XLayer, Solana, Ethereum, Base, BSC, Arbitrum, Polygon, or any of 20+ supported chains. Aggregates liquidity from 500+ DEX sources for optimal routing and price. Supports slippage control, price impact protection, and cross-DEX route optimization. Do NOT use for general programming questions about swap code, or for analytical questions about historical swap volume.

What this skill does


# OpenTrade DEX Aggregator CLI

5 commands for multi-chain swap aggregation — quote, approve, and execute.

## Pre-flight Checks

Every time before running any `opentrade` command, always follow these steps in order. Do not echo routine command output to the user; only provide a brief status update when installing, updating, or handling a failure.

1. **Confirm installed**: Run `which opentrade`. If not found, install it:
   ```bash
   curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/6551Team/openskills/main/skills/opentrade/install.sh | sh
   ```
   If the install script fails, ask the user to install manually following the instructions at: https://github.com/6551Team/openskills

2. **Check for updates**: Read `~/.opentrade/last_check` and compare it with the current timestamp:
   ```bash
   cached_ts=$(cat ~/.opentrade/last_check 2>/dev/null || true)
   now=$(date +%s)
   ```
   - If `cached_ts` is non-empty and `(now - cached_ts) < 43200` (12 hours), skip the update and proceed.
   - Otherwise (file missing or older than 12 hours), run the installer to check for updates:
     ```bash
     curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/6551Team/openskills/main/skills/opentrade/install.sh | sh
     ```
     If a newer version is installed, tell the user and suggest updating their opentrade skills from https://github.com/6551Team/openskills to get the latest features.
3. If any `opentrade` command fails with an unexpected error during this
   session, try reinstalling before giving up:
   ```bash
   curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/6551Team/openskills/main/skills/opentrade/install.sh | sh
   ```
4. Find or create a .env file in the project root to override the default API credentials, Load it before performing opentrade operations.
  ```bash
  OPEN_TOKEN=your_token_here
  ```

  Get your API token at: https://www.newsliquid.com/mcp

  **Security warning**: Never commit .env to git (add it to .gitignore) and never expose credentials in logs, screenshots, or chat messages.

## Router Discovery

**IMPORTANT**: If the user has not specified a trading router, you MUST first discover available routers:

```bash
opentrade trade routers
```

**Response format:**
```json
{
  "ok": true,
  "data": [
    {
      "api": "v2",
      "created_at": "2026-03-10 01:15:42",
      "is_active": true,
      "name": "6551dex test",
      "quota_reward": 0,
      "trader": "6551dex",
      "updated_at": "2026-03-10 01:15:42"
    },
    {
      "api": "v1",
      "created_at": "2026-03-03 21:24:34",
      "is_active": true,
      "name": "okx test",
      "quota_reward": 0,
      "trader": "okx",
      "updated_at": "2026-03-03 21:24:34"
    }
  ]
}
```

**Usage:**
- Extract `trader` and `api` from the response
- **MANDATORY**: ALL subsequent `opentrade` commands in this session MUST include `--trader <trader>` and `--api <api>` flags
- Example: `opentrade swap quote --from 0x... --to 0x... --amount 100 --chain ethereum --trader okx --api v1`
- **Default fallback**: If the API returns no data or is empty, use `--trader okx --api v1`

## Skill Routing

- For token search → use `opentrade-token`
- For market prices → use `opentrade-market`
- For transaction broadcasting → use `opentrade-gateway`
- For wallet balances / portfolio → use `opentrade-portfolio`

## Quickstart

### EVM Swap (quote → approve → swap)

```bash
# 1. Quote — sell 100 USDC for OKB on XLayer
opentrade swap quote \
  --from 0x74b7f16337b8972027f6196a17a631ac6de26d22 \
  --to 0xeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee \
  --amount 100000000 \
  --chain xlayer
# → Expected: X.XX OKB, gas fee, price impact

# 2. Approve — ERC-20 tokens need approval before swap (skip for native OKB)
opentrade swap approve \
  --token 0x74b7f16337b8972027f6196a17a631ac6de26d22 \
  --amount 100000000 \
  --chain xlayer
# → Returns approval calldata: sign and broadcast via opentrade-gateway

# 3. Swap
opentrade swap swap \
  --from 0x74b7f16337b8972027f6196a17a631ac6de26d22 \
  --to 0xeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee \
  --amount 100000000 \
  --chain xlayer \
  --wallet 0xYourWallet \
  --slippage 1
# → Returns tx data: sign and broadcast via opentrade-gateway
```

### Solana Swap

```bash
opentrade swap swap \
  --from 11111111111111111111111111111111 \
  --to DezXAZ8z7PnrnRJjz3wXBoRgixCa6xjnB7YaB1pPB263 \
  --amount 1000000000 \
  --chain solana \
  --wallet YourSolanaWallet \
  --slippage 1
# → Returns tx data: sign and broadcast via opentrade-gateway
```

## Chain Name Support

The CLI accepts human-readable chain names and resolves them automatically.

| Chain | Name | chainIndex |
|---|---|---|
| XLayer | `xlayer` | `196` |
| Solana | `solana` | `501` |
| Ethereum | `ethereum` | `1` |
| Base | `base` | `8453` |
| BSC | `bsc` | `56` |
| Arbitrum | `arbitrum` | `42161` |

## Native Token Addresses

> **CRITICAL**: Each chain has a specific native token address. Using the wrong address will cause swap transactions to fail.

| Chain | Native Token Address |
|---|---|
| EVM (Ethereum, BSC, Polygon, Arbitrum, Base, etc.) | `0xeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee` |
| Solana | `11111111111111111111111111111111` |
| Sui | `0x2::sui::SUI` |
| Tron | `T9yD14Nj9j7xAB4dbGeiX9h8unkKHxuWwb` |
| Ton | `EQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM9c` |

> **WARNING — Solana native SOL**: The correct address is `11111111111111111111111111111111` (Solana system program). Do **NOT** use `So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112` (wSOL SPL token) — it is a different token and will cause swap failures.

## Command Index

| # | Command | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | `opentrade swap chains` | Get supported chains for DEX aggregator |
| 2 | `opentrade swap liquidity --chain <chain>` | Get available liquidity sources on a chain |
| 3 | `opentrade swap approve --token ... --amount ... --chain ...` | Get ERC-20 approval transaction data |
| 4 | `opentrade swap quote --from ... --to ... --amount ... --chain ...` | Get swap quote (read-only price estimate) |
| 5 | `opentrade swap swap --from ... --to ... --amount ... --chain ... --wallet ...` | Get swap transaction data |

## Cross-Skill Workflows

This skill is the **execution endpoint** of most user trading flows. It almost always needs input from other skills first.

### Workflow A: Full Swap by Token Name (most common)

> User: "Swap 1 SOL for BONK on Solana"

```
1. opentrade-token    opentrade token search BONK --chains solana               → get BONK tokenContractAddress
       ↓ tokenContractAddress
2. opentrade-dex-swap opentrade swap quote \
                      --from 11111111111111111111111111111111 \
                      --to <BONK_address> --amount 1000000000 --chain solana → get quote
       ↓ user confirms
3. opentrade-dex-swap opentrade swap swap \
                      --from 11111111111111111111111111111111 \
                      --to <BONK_address> --amount 1000000000 --chain solana \
                      --wallet <addr>                                        → get swap calldata
4. User signs the transaction
5. opentrade-gateway  opentrade gateway broadcast --signed-tx <tx> --address <addr> --chain solana
```

**Data handoff**:
- `tokenContractAddress` from step 1 → `--to` in steps 2-3
- SOL native address = `11111111111111111111111111111111` → `--from`. Do NOT use wSOL address.
- Amount `1 SOL` = `1000000000` (9 decimals) → `--amount` param

### Workflow B: EVM Swap with Approval

> User: "Swap 100 USDC for OKB on XLayer"

```
1. opentrade-token    opentrade token search USDC --chains xlayer               → get USDC address
2. opentrade-dex-swap opentrade swap quote --from <USDC> --to 0xeeee...eeee --amount 100000000 --chain xlayer
       ↓ check isHoneyPot, taxRate, priceImpactPercent
3. opentrade-dex-swap opentrade swap approve --token <USDC> --amount 100000000 --chain xlayer
4. User signs the approval transaction
5. opentrade-gateway  opentrade gateway broadcast --signed-tx <tx> --address <addr> --chain xlayer
6. opentrade-dex-swap opentrade swa
