AI Agent Skill for GDEX Pro — the self-custody trading terminal by Gemach
Cross-chain spot · HyperLiquid perps · Copy trading · Portfolio · Token discovery · Managed custody
Why agents use GDEX
GDEX is the trading surface. This skill is how AI agents (Claude, Cursor, Codex, and 40+ others) install and trade on it — spot, perps, copy-trade, and bridge — without building their own exchange stack.
Fastest path for an agent:
npx skills add GemachDAO/gdex-skill --all --agent '*' -g
Then open gdex.pro for the human terminal, or run the MCP server so the agent can execute trades itself.

🤖 Install as an Agent Skill
Install directly into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, and 40+ other agents using the skills CLI:
# Install all skills (recommended)
npx skills add GemachDAO/gdex-skill --all --agent '*' -g
# Pick skills interactively
npx skills add GemachDAO/gdex-skill
# Install a specific skill
npx skills add GemachDAO/gdex-skill --skill gdex-spot-trading
GDEX uses a multi-skill architecture — agents load only the skills they need, keeping context lean and focused.
Available Skills
Each skill's description tells the agent when to load it. No API key setup required for trading skills (shared keys are built in).
Risk & Market Data Skills
Deterministic data feeds and events for risk and research. Each ships a standard-library Python script that prints NDJSON: no API key, no install, and every number comes from the script, not a model.
python3 skills/gdex-hl-market-risk/scripts/hl_market_risk.py > hl.ndjson
Skills Harness (bring your own key)
harness/ runs these skills with Claude on your own Anthropic API key.
export produces every feed with no model; ask answers questions with an agent that can only
cite figures that skill scripts printed. Every script run is logged with a sha256 of its output.
🔌 MCP Server
The GDEX MCP server exposes 154 tools — full trading execution + SDK documentation — as Model Context Protocol tools. Any MCP-compatible AI agent can trade autonomously.
Source code: the server is implemented in this repository, in mcp-server/. The entry point is mcp-server/src/index.ts and the tool handlers are in mcp-server/src/tools/. The npm package @gemachdao/gdex-mcp-server is built from that directory by the release workflow. See mcp-server/README.md to run it from source or with the repo's Dockerfile.
Quick Setup
# Auto-generate config for your AI client
npx @gemachdao/gdex-mcp-server init --client claude # → .mcp.json
npx @gemachdao/gdex-mcp-server init --client cursor # → .cursor/mcp.json
npx @gemachdao/gdex-mcp-server init --client vscode # → .vscode/mcp.json
npx @gemachdao/gdex-mcp-server init --client codex # → .codex/config.toml
npx @gemachdao/gdex-mcp-server init --client opencode # → opencode.json ("mcp" section)
init merges into an existing config: other MCP servers and settings are kept, the previous file is saved as <file>.bak, and rerunning is a no-op. If a different gdex-mcp-server entry is already there it is shown and left alone unless you pass --force; a config it can't parse is never modified.
Claude Code plugin
/plugin marketplace add GemachDAO/gdex-skill
/plugin install gdex@gemachdao
Installs every GDEX skill plus the MCP server (npx -y @gemachdao/gdex-mcp-server). The optional GDEX API key is kept in your system credential store.
Requirements
Node.js 22 or newer. The Hyperliquid client libraries need Node 22's built-in WebSocket; on Node 20 the perp tools fail.
Agent trading flow
What is verified live versus offline, per chain and venue, is in docs/AGENT-READINESS.md.
Agents should start with gdex_status, connect once with gdex_connect, then gdex_preview_trade → gdex_execute_trade (user-approved, or within the delegated policy in ~/.gdex/policies/<accountRef>.json) → gdex_operation, and manage exits with gdex_positions / gdex_manage_position. Every tool carries read/write annotations. See the gdex-agent-trading skill.
Connect an account (no secrets in chat)
Ask your agent to run gdex_connect with a key file on your machine, e.g. gdex_connect { keyFile: "~/my-gdex-wallet.json" } (JSON with privateKey), or gdex_connect { create: true } for a new wallet. The server signs in, stores the keys under ~/.gdex/accounts (mode 0600) and returns an accountRef. Pass accountRef to any trading tool instead of sessionPrivateKey/privateKey. Never paste a private key or seed phrase into the chat. gdex_accounts lists connected accounts; gdex_disconnect forgets one.
Codex (OpenAI)
codex plugin marketplace add GemachDAO/gdex-skill
codex plugin add gdex@gemachdao
Installs every GDEX skill plus the MCP server. For the MCP server only: codex mcp add gdex -- npx -y @gemachdao/gdex-mcp-server.
Gemini CLI extension
gemini extensions install https://github.com/GemachDAO/gdex-skill

📦 SDK Installation
npm install github:GemachDAO/gdex-skill
Installs the SDK straight from GitHub (it builds on install). Imports stay
from '@gemachdao/gdex-skill'. Pin a release withnpm install github:GemachDAO/gdex-skill#v4.1.1.
The install script displays a quick-start banner in your terminal. Optional peer dependencies for wallet signing (only needed for user-specific wallet auth):
npm install ethers # EVM wallet auth npm install bs58 tweetnacl # Solana wallet auth
🚀 Quick Start
import { GdexSkill, GDEX_API_KEY_PRIMARY } from '@gemachdao/gdex-skill';
// 1. Create skill instance
const skill = new GdexSkill();
// 2. Authenticate with the pre-configured shared key (enough for read-only calls)
skill.loginWithApiKey(GDEX_API_KEY_PRIMARY);
// 3. Trades need the managed-custody session from sign-in (see Managed-Custody Flow below):
// the control wallet signs once, the session key signs each trade.
const creds = { apiKey: GDEX_API_KEY_PRIMARY, walletAddress: controlAddress, sessionPrivateKey };
// 4. Spot buy on Base (0.01 ETH)
const trade = await skill.buyToken({
chain: 8453,
tokenAddress: '0xTokenAddress',
amount: '0.01',
slippage: 1, // 1% max slippage
...creds,
});
console.log('Trade submitted:', trade.jobId, '— status:', trade.status);
// 5. Open a BTC 10× long on HyperLiquid (size is in BTC, not USD)
const mark = await skill.getHlMarkPrice('BTC');
const pos = await skill.hlCreateOrder({
coin: 'BTC',
isLong: true,
price: String(mark),
size: '0.001',
isMarket: true,
leverage: 10,
tpPrice: '110000',
slPrice: '95000',
...creds,
});
// 6. Read-only endpoints need no auth
const trending = await skill.getTrendingTokens({ chain: 'solana', period: '24h', limit: 5 });
console.log('Trending:', trending.map(t => t.symbol).join(', '));
✅ Verify (offline)
Confirm the SDK is installed and configured correctly — no network connection or API key required:
npm run verify
Sample output:
1. SDK import
✓ SDK imported from ../dist/index.js
2. API keys
✓ GDEX_API_KEY_PRIMARY = 9b4e1c73...
✓ GDEX_API_KEY_SECONDARY = 2c8f0a91...
✓ GDEX_API_KEYS array = 2 keys
3. GdexSkill instantiation
✓ new GdexSkill() — default config
✓ new GdexSkill({ apiUrl, timeout, maxRetries }) — custom config
4. Authentication state (offline)
✓ isAuthenticated() = false before login
✓ loginWithApiKey(GDEX_API_KEY_PRIMARY) → isAuthenticated() = true
✓ logout() → isAuthenticated() = false
...
All 20 checks passed ✓
SDK is ready — no network token required.
🔑 Authentication
Shared API Keys (recommended for agents)
Two shared keys are pre-configured in the package — agents do not need to sign wallet transactions:
import {
GdexSkill,
GDEX_API_KEY_PRIMARY,
GDEX_API_KEY_SECONDARY,
GDEX_API_KEYS,
} from '@gemachdao/gdex-skill';
const skill = new GdexSkill();
skill.loginWithApiKey(GDEX_API_KEY_PRIMARY); // use primary
// or:
skill.loginWithApiKey(GDEX_API_KEY_SECONDARY); // use secondary
// or cycle through them:
skill.loginWithApiKey(GDEX_API_KEYS[0]);
skill.isAuthenticated(); // → true
skill.logout(); // clear session
Note: Read-only endpoints (
getTrendingTokens,getTokenDetails,getOHLCV,getTopTraders) do not require authentication.
Wallet-based Auth (advanced)
For user-owned wallets or custom signers (hardware wallets, browser extensions):
// EVM wallet (secp256k1)
await skill.authenticate({
type: 'evm',
address: '0xYourAddress',
privateKey: '0xPrivateKey',
});
// Solana wallet (ed25519)
await skill.authenticate({
type: 'solana',
address: 'YourSolanaAddress',
privateKey: 'base58EncodedPrivateKey',
});
// Custom signer (MetaMask / Phantom)
await skill.authenticate({
type: 'evm',
address: accounts[0],
signer: async (message) =>
window.ethereum.request({ method: 'personal_sign', params: [message, accounts[0]] }),
});
Configuration
const skill = new GdexSkill({
apiUrl: 'https://trade-api.gemach.io/v1', // Backend (default)
timeout: 30000, // Request timeout ms
maxRetries: 3, // Retry attempts on 429/503
debug: false, // Log every request
});
The SDK does not read environment variables directly. If you choose to use env vars,
read them in your application (for example via process.env) and pass their values into
the GdexSkill constructor as shown above.
Recommended environment variables for your own app:
🔒 Managed-Custody Trading
All trading on GDEX goes through server-side managed wallets. Your control wallet (EVM or Solana) is only used to authenticate (sign-in) — actual on-chain execution is handled by GDEX backend trade workers.
How It Works
- Generate a session keypair — secp256k1 key used to sign trades after auth
- Sign-in — control wallet signs a message, encrypted as
computedData→ POST/v1/sign_in - Resolve user — GET
/v1/userwith encrypted session key to see managed wallets - Trade — ABI-encode trade data, sign with session key, encrypt as
computedData→ POST/v1/purchase_v2or/v1/sell_v2 - Poll status — GET
/v1/trade-status/:requestIduntil completed/failed
Encryption
All authenticated payloads use AES-256-CBC with a deterministic key/IV derived from the API key (no random IV):
- Key = first 32 bytes of
SHA256(apiKey)hex - IV = first 16 bytes of
SHA256(SHA256(apiKey))hex - Trade/sign-in payloads:
JSON.stringify({ userId, data, signature, apiKey })→ UTF-8 → encrypt → hex - Session key (
/v1/user): hex-decoded raw bytes → encrypt (not UTF-8 string) - The API key is included inside the encrypted JSON payload (not just used for encryption)
WARNING: Do NOT use random IVs or the
iv:ciphertextformat. The backend uses deterministic AES derived from the API key hash chain.
Signatures
Spot trade signatures (purchase/sell) use raw keccak256 + secp256k1 (no EIP-191 prefix):
- Message:
"<action>-<lowercaseUserId>-<dataHexWithout0x>" - Digest:
keccak256(utf8Bytes(message)) - Output:
r(64 hex) + s(64 hex) + v(2 hex)= 130 chars, no0xprefix - v = raw recovery parameter (
00or01), NOT EIP-155 (1b/1c)
HL perp signatures use the same algorithm but with HL-specific action prefixes (hl_deposit, hl_withdraw, hl_create_order, etc.) and different ABI schemas. See the HL Managed-Custody Reference section.
Sign-in signatures use EIP-191 personal_sign with the control wallet — this is the ONLY operation that uses EIP-191. All post-sign-in operations use raw keccak256.
Nonce Generation
Nonces are client-generated (not fetched from the server):
const nonce = String(Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000) + Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000));
Quick Example
import {
GdexSkill,
GDEX_API_KEY_PRIMARY,
generateGdexSessionKeyPair,
buildGdexSignInMessage,
buildGdexSignInComputedData,
buildGdexManagedTradeComputedData,
buildGdexUserSessionData,
} from '@gemachdao/gdex-skill';
const skill = new GdexSkill();
skill.loginWithApiKey(GDEX_API_KEY_PRIMARY);
const apiKey = GDEX_API_KEY_PRIMARY;
// 1. Session keypair
const { sessionPrivateKey, sessionKey } = generateGdexSessionKeyPair();
// 2. Sign-in (control wallet signs this message)
const userId = '0xYourControlWallet';
const nonce = String(Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000) + Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000));
const message = buildGdexSignInMessage(userId, nonce, sessionKey);
const signature = /* wallet.signMessage(message) */;
const signInPayload = buildGdexSignInComputedData({ apiKey, userId, sessionKey, nonce, signature });
await skill.signInWithComputedData({ computedData: signInPayload.computedData, chainId: 622112261 }); // Solana; 1 for EVM/HL
// 3. Trade
const trade = buildGdexManagedTradeComputedData({
apiKey, action: 'purchase', userId,
tokenAddress: 'DezXAZ8z7PnrnRJjz3wXBoRgixCa6xjnB7YaB1pPB263',
amount: '100000',
nonce: String(Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000) + Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000)),
sessionPrivateKey,
});
const result = await skill.submitManagedPurchase({
computedData: trade.computedData, chainId: 622112261, slippage: 1, // Solana (NOT 900)
});
// 4. Poll
if (result.requestId) {
const status = await skill.getManagedTradeStatus(result.requestId);
console.log(status.status, status.hash);
}
Managed-Custody Helpers
Verify Managed Flow (offline)
npm run verify:managed
This generates all payloads (session keypair, sign-in, user lookup, trade), validates encrypt/decrypt roundtrips, and prints the full execution plan — without making any live API calls.
📚 API Reference
Spot Trading
buyToken(params)
Buy a token on any supported chain.
const result = await skill.buyToken({
chain: 'solana',
tokenAddress: 'EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v',
amount: '0.1',
slippage: 1,
});
// result.jobId, result.status, result.txHash, result.outputAmount
sellToken(params)
// Sell absolute amount
await skill.sellToken({ chain: 8453, tokenAddress: '0x...', amount: '100', slippage: 0.5 });
// Sell 50% of holdings
await skill.sellToken({ chain: 'solana', tokenAddress: '...', amount: '50%' });
Perpetual Futures (HyperLiquid)
Critical: HyperLiquid deposits/withdrawals/orders use a different crypto flow than spot trades. See the HL Managed-Custody Reference section below for exact specifications.
Every perp write takes the managed-custody credentials { apiKey, walletAddress, sessionPrivateKey },
where walletAddress is the control wallet that signed in (MCP: pass accountRef from gdex_connect).
hlCreateOrder(params) — open (or add to) a position
const pos = await skill.hlCreateOrder({
coin: 'BTC', isLong: true, price: String(await skill.getHlMarkPrice('BTC')), size: '0.001',
isMarket: true, leverage: 10, tpPrice: '110000', slPrice: '95000',
apiKey, walletAddress, sessionPrivateKey,
});
closePerpPosition(params)
Reads the live position and closes it with a reduce-only market order on the opposite side.
const creds = { apiKey, walletAddress, sessionPrivateKey };
await skill.closePerpPosition({ coin: 'BTC', positionAddress: managedEvmAddress, ...creds }); // close 100%
await skill.closePerpPosition({ coin: 'ETH', size: '0.05', positionAddress: managedEvmAddress, ...creds }); // partial close
Other perp methods
// Deposit USDC to HyperLiquid from Arbitrum (human-readable amount, converted internally; min 10 USDC)
await skill.perpDeposit({
tokenAddress: '0xaf88d065e77c8cC2239327C5EDb3A432268e5831', // USDC on Arbitrum
amount: '10',
chainId: 42161,
apiKey, walletAddress, sessionPrivateKey,
});
await skill.perpWithdraw({ amount: '5', apiKey, walletAddress, sessionPrivateKey });
// Positions live on the managed EVM wallet
const positions = await skill.getPerpPositions({ walletAddress: managedEvmAddress });
// Each: { coin, side, size, entryPrice, markPrice, leverage, unrealizedPnl, liquidationPrice }
HL Deposit notes: Amount is in human-readable USDC (e.g.,
'10'for 10 USDC). The SDK automatically converts to smallest unit (6 decimals). Minimum deposit is 10 USDC. Your managed wallet must have the deposit amount + 1% fee buffer in USDC on Arbitrum. After the on-chain tx confirms, HyperLiquid takes ~10 minutes to credit the deposit.
Direct HyperLiquid Execution (via @gdexsdk/hyper-liquid-trader)
For direct trading on HyperLiquid L1 without managed custody — use your own private key:
// Cross-margin perpetual trade
const result = await skill.hlExecuteCrossPerp(
process.env.PRIVATE_KEY!,
{ coin: 'BTC', isLong: true, price: '100000', positionSize: '0.001', leverage: 10 },
);
// Isolated-margin perpetual trade
const result2 = await skill.hlExecuteIsolatedPerp(
process.env.PRIVATE_KEY!,
{ coin: 'ETH', isLong: false, price: '3000', positionSize: '1', leverage: 5 },
);
// Spot trade on HyperLiquid
const result3 = await skill.hlExecuteSpot(
process.env.PRIVATE_KEY!,
{ coin: 'PURR', isBuy: true, price: '0.50', size: '100' },
);
// Cancel an order directly
await skill.hlDirectCancelOrder(process.env.PRIVATE_KEY!, 'BTC', orderId);
// Get all mid prices
const mids = await skill.getHlAllMids();
// Get trade history
const trades = await skill.getHlTradeHistory('0xYourWallet');
// Get a trader's leverage context (for copy trading)
const leverage = await skill.getHlTraderLeverageContext('0xTraderWallet', 'BTC');
// Create a standalone HyperLiquidTrading instance with custom WS URLs
const trader = await skill.createHlTrader(['wss://custom-ws.example.com']);
Limit Orders
Endpoints:
limit_buy/limit_sell/update_order/orders— NOTorders/createororders/cancel.
// Limit buy — buy WIF when price drops to $0.50 on Solana
const buyResult = await skill.limitBuy({
apiKey: GDEX_API_KEY_PRIMARY,
userId: '0x53D029a671bd1CF61a2fB1F4F6e4bD830BFBb2eD', // control wallet
sessionPrivateKey: '<session-key-hex>',

tokenAddress: 'EKpQGSJtjMFqKZ9KQanSqYXRcF8fBopzLHYxdM65zcjm',
amount: '10000000', // lamports
triggerPrice: '0.50',
profitPercent: '50', // optional: TP at 50% gain
lossPercent: '25', // optional: SL at 25% loss
});
// Limit sell — sell WIF when price reaches $999.99 (take-profit)
const sellResult = await skill.limitSell({
apiKey: GDEX_API_KEY_PRIMARY,
userId: '0x53D029a671bd1CF61a2fB1F4F6e4bD830BFBb2eD',
sessionPrivateKey: '<session-key-hex>',
chainId: 622112261,
tokenAddress: 'EKpQGSJtjMFqKZ9KQanSqYXRcF8fBopzLHYxdM65zcjm',
amount: '100000',
triggerPrice: '999.99',
});
// Delete/cancel an order
await skill.updateOrder({
apiKey: GDEX_API_KEY_PRIMARY,
userId: '0x53D029a671bd1CF61a2fB1F4F6e4bD830BFBb2eD',
sessionPrivateKey: '<session-key-hex>',
chainId: 622112261,
orderId: '<64-char-hex-order-id>',
isDelete: true,
});
// List active orders (uses session-key auth, not full computedData)
const { count, orders } = await skill.getLimitOrders({
userId: '0x53D029a671bd1CF61a2fB1F4F6e4bD830BFBb2eD',
data: encryptedSessionKey, // from buildGdexUserSessionData()
chainId: 622112261,
});
Copy Trading
Solana-only for write operations. Sign-in must use
chainId: 622112261. The ABI encodeschainIdasuint256.
Discovery (no auth)
// Top 300 wallets by total PnL (cached 2 min)
const topWallets = await skill.getCopyTradeWallets();
// [{ address, totalPnl, receivedMinusSpent, spent, unrealizedValue, chainId }]
// Top 300 by net received
const customWallets = await skill.getCopyTradeCustomWallets();
// Hot new tokens from top wallets (cached 20s)
const gems = await skill.getCopyTradeGems();
// Supported DEXes for Solana
const dexes = await skill.getCopyTradeDexes(622112261);
// [{ dexName: 'pumpfun', dexNumber: 0, programId: '...' }, ...]
Read (session-key auth)
import { buildGdexUserSessionData } from '@gemachdao/gdex-skill';
const data = buildGdexUserSessionData(sessionKey, apiKey);
// List copy trade configs (cached 20s per user)
const { allCopyTrades, dexes } = await skill.getCopyTradeList({ userId, data });
// allCopyTrades: [{ copyTradeId, copyTradeName, traderWallet, isActive, lossPercent, profitPercent, ... }]
// Transaction history with PnL
const { txes } = await skill.getCopyTradeTxList({ userId, data });
Create (computedData auth)
import {
GDEX_API_KEY_PRIMARY,
buildCopyTradeComputedData,
generateGdexSessionKeyPair,
buildGdexSignInMessage,
buildGdexSignInComputedData,
} from '@gemachdao/gdex-skill';
// Sign-in MUST use chainId: 622112261 for copy trade operations
const result = await skill.createCopyTrade({
apiKey: GDEX_API_KEY_PRIMARY,
userId: controlWalletAddress,
sessionPrivateKey,
chainId: 622112261, // Solana only
traderWallet: 'SolanaTraderAddress',
copyTradeName: 'Alpha Trader',
buyMode: 1, // 1 = fixed SOL, 2 = percentage
copyBuyAmount: '0.001', // SOL amount (mode 1) or percentage (mode 2)
lossPercent: '50', // stop-loss at 50%
profitPercent: '100', // take-profit at 100%
copySell: true, // also copy sell trades
isBuyExistingToken: false, // skip tokens already held
excludedDexNumbers: [], // no DEX exclusions

Update / Pause / Resume / Delete (computedData auth)
const ids = { apiKey: GDEX_API_KEY_PRIMARY, userId: controlWalletAddress, sessionPrivateKey, copyTradeId: '<64-char-hex-id>' };
await skill.updateCopyTradeSettings({ ...ids, lossPercent: '40' }); // never deletes or pauses
await skill.pauseCopyTrade(ids); // isActive=false; no-op if already paused
await skill.resumeCopyTrade(ids); // isActive=true; no-op if already active
await skill.deleteCopyTrade(ids); // permanent
Each reads the current config from /copy_trade/list first, because the backend
rewrites every field on update and isChangeStatus is a relative toggle
(isActive = !existing.isActive). Deleting removes the configuration only:
positions it opened are not sold and their TP/SL limit orders are not
cancelled. While paused the copier mirrors neither buys nor sells.
Copy Trade ABI Reference
Typed exactly as the backend decodes them (src/shared/parser/evm/decoder.ts):
Create field order: [traderWallet, copyTradeName, chainId, gasPrice, buyMode, copyBuyAmount, isBuyExistingToken, lossPercent, profitPercent, nonce, copySell, excludedDexNumbers]
Update field order: [traderWallet, copyTradeName, chainId, gasPrice, buyMode, copyBuyAmount, isBuyExistingToken, lossPercent, profitPercent, nonce, isDelete, isChangeStatus, copyTradeId, copySell, excludedDexNumbers]
SDK versions up to 4.12 encoded every field as a string; the backend then decoded
isDelete=true, so every update deleted. Nonce is auto-generated by the SDK.
HL Perp Copy Trading
Completely separate from Solana copy trading above. This copies perpetual futures positions (long/short) on HyperLiquid. Sign-in uses
chainId: 1. All ABI fields are strings.

const info = await skill.getWalletInfo({ walletAddress: controlWalletAddress, sessionPrivateKey, apiKey, chain: 'solana' });
// { address, nativeBalance, nativeSymbol, totalValueUsd, tokenCount }
Wallet Generation
🔓 No authentication required. Keys are generated locally and never transmitted.
When a user doesn't have a wallet yet, generate an EVM control wallet for them. Then use the managed-custody sign-in flow to authenticate, and the Gbot backend automatically provisions a full trading wallet — including a Solana address and other chain-specific keys — server-side. No separate Solana wallet generation is needed.
generateEvmWallet() — your control wallet
Generates a new EVM-compatible wallet (Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, BSC, etc.) using ethers.Wallet.createRandom().
import {
GdexSkill,
generateEvmWallet,
generateGdexSessionKeyPair,
buildGdexSignInMessage,
GDEX_API_KEY_PRIMARY,
} from '@gemachdao/gdex-skill';
// Step 1: generate your EVM control wallet (one-time setup)
const wallet = generateEvmWallet();
console.log(wallet.address); // '0xAbCd...' (checksummed) — safe to share
// ⚠️ Store wallet.privateKey and wallet.mnemonic securely
// Step 2: generate a session keypair for managed-custody trading
const { sessionPrivateKey, sessionKey } = generateGdexSessionKeyPair();
// Step 3: build the sign-in message and sign with your control wallet
const message = buildGdexSignInMessage(wallet.address, String(Date.now()), sessionKey);
// Sign with: new ethers.Wallet(wallet.privateKey).signMessage(message)
// Step 4: submit sign_in computedData (see Managed-Custody Trading section above)
// The backend provisions Solana + all other trading wallets server-side

HL Managed-Custody Reference
HyperLiquid perp operations use a distinct crypto pipeline from spot trades. Getting any detail wrong produces a 400 Unauthorized (code 103) error. This section documents the exact specification.
HL Deposit Flow
The backend custodially executes the on-chain deposit: it loads the user's server-side private key, constructs an Arbitrum transaction, and sends USDC to the HyperLiquid bridge receiver. The agent only provides an authorization signature.
Agent SDK Backend
──────── ───────
1. ABI-encode deposit params ──► 2. AES-decrypt computedData
(uint64 chainId, address, 3. ABI-decode data
uint256 amount, string nonce) 4. Verify chainId == 42161
2. Sign with session key ──► 5. Verify signature vs stored sessionKey
3. AES-encrypt as computedData ──► 6. Validate token, balance, min deposit
4. POST /v1/hl/deposit 7. Execute ERC-20 transfer on Arbitrum
HL ABI Schemas (CRITICAL)
WARNING: The
hl_depositchainId usesuint64, NOTuint256. This is the single most common cause of "Unauthorized" errors. The backend re-encodes withuint64for signature verification — if you encode withuint256, the hex differs, signature recovery fails, and you get code 103.
HL Signature Format
All HL write operations sign with the session private key (from sign-in), NOT the control wallet key:
// Message format (no EIP-191 prefix):
const msg = `${action}-${userId.toLowerCase()}-${dataHex}`;
// e.g.: "hl_deposit-0x53d029a6...-00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000..."
const digest = keccak256(toUtf8Bytes(msg));
const sig = new SigningKey(sessionPrivateKey).sign(digest);
// Output: r(64hex) + s(64hex) + v(2hex) = 130 chars, no 0x prefix
// v = raw recovery parameter (00 or 01), NOT EIP-155 (1b/1c)

HL Error Codes
HTTP Headers (Required)
The backend sits behind Cloudflare. Requests MUST include browser-like headers:
{
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/91.0.4472.124 Safari/537.36',
'Accept': 'application/json',
'Accept-Language': 'en-US,en;q=0.9',
'Accept-Encoding': 'gzip, deflate, br',
'Connection': 'keep-alive',
'Authorization': 'Bearer <apiKey>', // NOT X-API-Key
}
WARNING: Using a non-browser User-Agent (e.g.,
axios/1.xor any string containing bot identifiers) will result in Cloudflare 403 "Access denied". The SDK handles this automatically.
