What This Skill Does

The Cross-Chain Arbitrage (cross-chain-arbitrage-cn) skill is a powerful automation tool designed to identify and capitalize on price discrepancies for the same assets across different blockchain networks where Uniswap is deployed. By leveraging the ERC-7683 standard for seamless cross-chain settlement, the agent manages the entire arbitrage lifecycle. It starts by conducting a rapid multi-chain scan of asset prices, followed by an automated 'all-in' cost calculation that accounts for source-chain gas fees, bridge liquidity costs, destination-chain gas, and expected slippage.

Before execution, the skill integrates a specialized risk-assessor to evaluate market volatility and bridge safety, ensuring that you only deploy capital when the expected profit outweighs the inherent risks. For users who are in research mode, a scan-only feature provides real-time market data without triggering any financial transactions, allowing you to monitor the efficiency of various DeFi markets across chains like Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, and more.

Installation

To integrate this capability into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/guohongbin-git/cross-chain-arbitrage-cn Ensure you have the necessary permissions enabled for subagent execution and MCP integration.

Use Cases

• Proactive Arbitrage: Automatically execute trades when a significant price spread exists between liquidity pools on different chains.
• Market Analysis: Use scan-only mode to observe how cross-chain liquidity fluctuates throughout the day.
• Portfolio Optimization: Rebalance holdings by capturing gains from inefficient pricing in fragmented cross-chain markets.
• Risk-Controlled Trading: Utilize the risk-assessment module to ensure you don't enter volatile pairs during high network congestion.

Example Prompts

1. "Find ETH arbitrage opportunities across all chains and report the potential net profit after all fees."
2. "Scan for USDC price differences between Base and Ethereum. Do not execute any trades, just show me the data."
3. "Is there a profitable arbitrage opportunity for WBTC with a $10,000 budget? If so, execute it using ERC-7683."

Tips & Limitations

• Time Sensitivity: Arbitrage windows are extremely short. Always act on the agent's alerts as quickly as possible, as blockchain latency can cause a trade to fail if the price moves.
• Gas Volatility: During periods of high network activity, gas costs can erode your arbitrage margin. Configure your risk-assessor settings to reject trades with thin profit margins during high-traffic times.
• Scan-Only Mode: Always use this mode first when testing new asset pairs to understand the current liquidity landscape of the destination chains.
• Safety: Always check the safety status via the MCP Uniswap tools before authorizing large transactions.
