What This Skill Does

The ParaSwap skill serves as a high-performance decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregator for your OpenClaw agent. It connects directly to the ParaSwap API, tapping into over 300 liquidity sources across major EVM chains including Ethereum, Polygon, BSC, Arbitrum, Optimism, Avalanche, and Base. By utilizing MultiPath routing, the skill identifies the best possible swap rates for any given token pair, automatically splitting orders across multiple protocols like Uniswap, SushiSwap, and Curve to minimize slippage and maximize output. The skill is pre-configured with a 1% partner fee, which is transparently handled on-chain, allowing the agent to perform swaps while ensuring development sustainability.

Installation

To install this skill, run the following command in your terminal within the OpenClaw environment: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/0xterrybit/paraswap Once installed, ensure your agent has appropriate environment variables set for your wallet address to facilitate the transaction signing process.

Use Cases

This skill is ideal for DeFi automation, portfolio rebalancing, and cross-chain asset management. It allows your agent to execute complex trades without requiring you to manually check various DEXs for the best price. Use it to automatically swap ETH for stablecoins during high volatility, or to move liquidity between layers on L2 networks. It is also excellent for developers building automated yield-farming bots or treasury management agents that need to programmatically convert tokens with optimal execution.

Example Prompts

1. "Check the current best price to swap 1 ETH for USDC on Arbitrum and show me the expected output."
2. "Execute a trade of 500 USDT for LINK on the Polygon network using the most efficient route available."
3. "Compare swap rates for WETH to DAI on Ethereum versus Base and execute the one with the lowest gas cost."

Tips & Limitations

Always double-check your slippage tolerance before executing high-value transactions; the default configuration is set to 100 bps, but you may need to adjust this depending on liquidity levels. Remember that while ParaSwap optimizes for the best price, gas fees on Ethereum Mainnet can significantly impact small trades. Always verify the transaction data returned by the API before triggering the signature in your wallet. The skill supports custom partner fee configurations up to 300 bps if you wish to adjust your fee structure for specific implementations.
