okx-dex

What This Skill Does

The okx-dex skill provides a robust interface for the OKX Wallet DEX Aggregator (v6). It acts as a powerful middleware that enables the OpenClaw agent to interact with cross-chain liquidity. By integrating this skill, the agent can fetch real-time swap quotes, retrieve token lists for various networks, and handle the cryptographic requirements needed to interface with the OKX Web3 API. This eliminates the need for manual contract interaction, allowing the AI to query blockchain-specific swap routes, check token eligibility across multiple chains, and retrieve the precise transaction data required for decentralized exchanges.

Installation

To integrate the okx-dex skill into your OpenClaw environment, ensure you have the necessary API credentials from your OKX developer account. Execute the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/ricky321u/okx-dex After installation, configure your environment variables by setting OKX_API_KEY, OKX_SECRET_KEY, and OKX_PASSPHRASE. These keys are mandatory for authenticating requests using the HMAC-SHA256 signature protocol defined by OKX.

Use Cases

The skill is designed for scenarios requiring automated decentralized financial operations. Use it for:

• Cross-chain Market Intelligence: Analyze price quotes across Ethereum, Layer 2s, and non-EVM chains to find the best swap paths.
• Portfolio Optimization: Programmatically fetch supported tokens to monitor asset availability before executing rebalancing strategies.
• Automated Trading Systems: Generate swap transaction data that can be broadcasted via external wallets, enabling "set-and-forget" trading workflows within OpenClaw.

Example Prompts

1. "Check the current swap rate on the Ethereum mainnet for swapping 1 ETH to USDT and display the best quote returned by the OKX aggregator."
2. "List the top 5 supported tokens available on the Arbitrum chain that I can trade through the OKX DEX aggregator."
3. "Which chains are currently supported by the OKX DEX aggregator and how do I get the base configuration for a swap on chain index 1?"

Tips & Limitations

• Authentication Accuracy: Because the API relies on UTC ISO timestamps, ensure your system clock is synchronized to prevent authentication errors. The OK-ACCESS-TIMESTAMP must match the prehash string exactly.
• Rate Limiting: As with all DEX aggregators, heavy polling may lead to rate limiting. Cache token lists locally to minimize unnecessary API calls.
• Security: Always treat your OKX Secret Key as highly sensitive. Ensure that these credentials are never hardcoded in scripts or committed to version control; use secure environment variable management.
