indigo-dex

What This Skill Does

The indigo-dex skill provides a robust gateway for interacting with the Cardano decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem, specifically through the Indigo Protocol. This skill empowers your OpenClaw agent to act as a sophisticated on-chain assistant, bridging the gap between user intent and complex DEX operations. By leveraging integrated tools for SteelSwap, Iris, and Blockfrost, the skill enables users to perform market research, evaluate swap potential, and monitor their on-chain asset positions in real-time. Whether you are looking to aggregate liquidity data or execute precise token swaps, this skill handles the heavy lifting by communicating directly with the Cardano blockchain and associated protocol endpoints.

Installation

To integrate the indigo-dex skill into your OpenClaw environment, ensure you have the OpenClaw agent runtime installed and configured. Execute the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/adacapo21/indigo-dex

Once installed, verify that the skill is listed in your active skills registry. The skill will automatically handle the initialization of necessary network connections required to query SteelSwap and Blockfrost APIs.

Use Cases

This skill is designed for DeFi enthusiasts, liquidity providers, and developers building financial automation workflows. Common use cases include:

• Portfolio Management: Regularly checking token balances to ensure asset allocations meet your strategy.
• Market Research: Monitoring Iris liquidity pools to identify high-yield opportunities or assess market depth for specific assets.
• Automated Trading: Using swap estimates from SteelSwap to trigger entry or exit points based on pre-defined slippage tolerance and price impact metrics.

Example Prompts

1. "Look up the current liquidity depth in Iris pools for the ADA/iUSD pair and report the top three by total value locked."
2. "I want to trade 500 ADA for iUSD. Please fetch an estimate from SteelSwap and let me know the expected output and slippage."
3. "Check the wallet address addr1... and list all token balances found via Blockfrost."

Tips & Limitations

When using indigo-dex, always keep in mind that blockchain data is subject to network latency. Swap estimates returned by SteelSwap are point-in-time snapshots; actual execution prices may vary due to high market volatility. Ensure your wallet address is correctly provided when using the balance checker. Because this skill interacts with external APIs like Blockfrost, it requires a stable internet connection. As a best practice, verify transaction signatures through your own wallet interface before finalizing any swaps recommended by the AI.
