# Impossible Finance Trading Skill

## Purpose & Scope

This skill enables an AI agent to trade tokens on [Impossible Finance DEX](https://impossible.finance) (BSC mainnet). Impossible Finance V3 Swap is interface-compatible with Uniswap V2 but includes modifications for higher capital efficiency trades (lower slippage for supported pairs, especially stablecoins).

It covers:

- **Wallet creation** — Generate a BSC keypair and store it locally for transaction signing.
- **Token discovery** — Resolve any BEP-20 token by contract address, check pair existence and liquidity.
- **Swaps** — Execute token swaps through Impossible Finance V3 Router with slippage protection.
- **Balance checks** — Query native BNB and BEP-20 token balances.
- **Top-ups** — Provide the agent's BSC address so the user can fund it.

### What This Skill Does NOT Do

- It does **not** manage ClawChain agent registration. For that, see the `clawchain` skill (`skill.md` or `curl_skills.md`).
- It does **not** provide investment advice or execute trades without user confirmation.
- It does **not** access any files outside of `~/.config/impossible_agent/` and optionally `~/.config/clawchain/credentials.json` (read-only, for EVM key registration only).

### Transparency: Files Accessed

| File | Access | Purpose |
|------|--------|---------|
| `~/.config/impossible_agent/wallet.json` | Read/Write (created once) | Stores the agent's BSC private key and address for signing transactions |
| `~/.config/clawchain/credentials.json` | Read-only (optional) | Used only if registering BSC public key on ClawChain for EVM event tracking |

### Transparency: Network Calls

| Endpoint | Purpose |
|----------|---------|
| BSC RPC (`BSC_RPC_URL`) | Read blockchain state (balances, pair info) and submit signed transactions |
| Impossible Finance Router/Factory contracts | On-chain calls to discover pairs, get quotes, execute swaps |

---

## Configuration (BSC Mainnet)

Set these environment variables before using the skill. All have sensible defaults for BSC mainnet:

```bash
export BSC_RPC_URL="https://bsc-dataseed1.binance.org"
export BSC_CHAIN_ID=56

# Impossible Finance V3 (BSC mainnet)
export IF_ROUTER="0xCCF4881b849d94C15c98567Ba71b08eD829ABA33"
export IF_FACTORY="0xBf9D97eAF551877E4710d8E9d0519F79E03E5E69"
export WBNB="0xbb4CdB9CBd36B01bD1cBaEBF2De08d9173bc095c"
```

**Block explorer:** https://bscscan.com

**Impossible Finance Swap UI:** https://app.impossible.finance/swap

### Prerequisites

This skill requires **Node.js 18+** and the **ethers** npm package (v6):

```bash
npm install ethers
# or: pnpm add ethers
```

---

## 1. Wallet Setup — Create Wallet and Save Keys

The agent needs a local wallet file containing a **private key** and **public address** so it can sign transactions. This file is created once during initial setup and reused for all subsequent operations.

> **⚠️ Security:** The wallet file contains sensitive key material. See the [Security Notes](#7-security-notes) section for encryption and file permission best practices. Only use a dedicated, small-balance wallet — never your main funds.

### Option A: Using Node.js (recommended)

Run this script to generate a new wallet and write it to a file:

```bash
node -e "
const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');
const { ethers } = require('ethers');
const wallet = ethers.Wallet.createRandom();
const dir = process.env.HOME + '/.config/impossible_agent';
fs.mkdirSync(dir, { recursive: true });
const file = dir + '/wallet.json';
fs.writeFileSync(file, JSON.stringify({
  privateKey: wallet.privateKey,
  address: wallet.address,
  publicKey: wallet.publicKey
}, null, 2), { mode: 0o600 });
console.log('Wallet saved to ' + file);
console.log('Address: ' + wallet.address);
"
```

Default file location: `~/.config/impossible_agent/wallet.json`

**File format (wallet.json):**

```json
{
  "privateKey": "0x...",
  "address": "0x...",
  "publicKey": "0x..."
}
```

- **privateKey** — Used to sign transactions. This file is restricted to owner-only access (`chmod 600`). Never log or expose this value.
- **address** — The agent's BSC account. The user sends BNB/tokens to this address to fund the agent.
- **publicKey** — Derived from private key. Used optionally for ClawChain EVM event tracking registration.

### Option B: Custom path

To use a different path, set the environment variable:

```bash
export IF_WALLET_FILE="$HOME/.config/impossible_agent/wallet.json"
# Then in the script, write to process.env.IF_WALLET_FILE
```

### After wallet setup

1. Read `address` and `publicKey` from `wallet.json`.
2. Tell the user: **My BSC address for top-ups is:** `<address>`
3. The user must send native BNB (for gas) and any tokens they want the agent to swap to this address.
4. **(Optional)** Register your BSC public key on ClawChain for EVM event tracking — see [Section 1.5](#15-register-public-key-on-clawchain-optional).

---

## 1.5. Register Public Key on ClawChain (Optional)

> **This step is optional.** It links your BSC wallet public key to your ClawChain agent account to enable tracking EVM events on Chromia. Skip this if you don't need on-chain event tracking.

> **Prerequisite:** You must already have a registered and claimed agent on ClawChain. See the `clawchain` skill for registration instructions.

### Prerequisites

- A registered agent account on ClawChain (Chromia)
- An authenticated session (FT4 keypair from ClawChain registration)
- Your `wallet.json` file with `publicKey` (required) and optionally `address`
- The ClawChain credentials file at `~/.config/clawchain/credentials.json` (created by the `clawchain` skill)

### Environment Variables for ClawChain

These are the same variables used by the `clawchain` skill — set them if not already configured:

```bash
export CLAWCHAIN_BRID="9D728CC635A9D33DAABAC8217AA8131997A8CBF946447ED0B98760245CE5207E"
export CLAWCHAIN_NODE="https://chromia.01node.com:7740"
```

### Registration Steps

#### Option A: Using Chromia CLI

```bash
# Read wallet info
WALLET_FILE="${IF_WALLET_FILE:-$HOME/.config/impossible_agent/wallet.json}"
PUBLIC_KEY=$(cat $WALLET_FILE | grep -o '"publicKey": "[^"]*' | cut -d'"' -f4)
ADDRESS=$(cat $WALLET_FILE | grep -o '"address": "[^"]*' | cut -d'"' -f4)

# Register public key on Chromia
chr tx register_evm_public_key \
  "impossible_finance" \
  "$PUBLIC_KEY" \
  "BSC" \
  56 \
  "$ADDRESS" \
  --ft-auth \
  --secret ~/.config/clawchain/credentials.json \
  -brid $CLAWCHAIN_BRID \
  --api-url $CLAWCHAIN_NODE \
  --await
```

**Arguments:** `wallet_type` `public_key` `chain` `network_id` `address`

**Network IDs:**
- BSC Mainnet: `56`
- BSC Testnet: `97`
- Ethereum Mainnet: `1`
- Ethereum Goerli: `5`
- Polygon Mainnet: `137`

**Note:** If you don't have an address, use `""` (empty string) for the last parameter.

#### Option B: Using JavaScript/TypeScript

If you're integrating this into a web application with an authenticated FT4 session:

```javascript
const fs = require('fs');
const walletFile = process.env.IF_WALLET_FILE || '~/.config/impossible_agent/wallet.json';
const walletData = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(walletFile, 'utf8'));

// Assuming you have a Chromia session object (from @chromia/ft4)
const result = await session.call({
  name: 'register_evm_public_key',
  args: [
    'impossible_finance',         // wallet_type
    walletData.publicKey,         // public_key (required)
    'BSC',                         // chain
    56,                            // network_id (56 for BSC mainnet, 97 for testnet)
    walletData.address || ""      // address (optional)
  ]
});

console.log('Public key registered:', result);
```

### Query Registered Public Keys

To check which public keys are registered for your agent:

```bash
# Get all registered public keys for an agent
chr query get_evm_public_keys 'agent_name=your_agent_name' \
  -brid $CLAWCHAIN_BRID --api-url $CLAWCHAIN_NODE

# Get specific public key by wallet type
chr query get_evm_public_key_by_type \
  'agent_name=your_agent_name' \
  'wallet_type=impossible_finance' \
  -brid $CLAWCHAIN_BRID --api-url $CLAWCHAIN_NODE
```

### Error Handling

- **"Public key already registered"**: The public key is already registered for this agent. Query existing keys to verify.
- **"Public key is required for EIF event tracking"**: You must provide a public key.
- **"Invalid public key format"**: Public key must start with `0x` and be at least 66 characters (0x + 64 hex chars).
- **"Agent not found"**: Ensure your agent account exists on ClawChain.
- **Authentication errors**: Ensure you have a valid FT4 session authenticated with your Chromia account.

---

## 2. How the User Can Top Up the Agent Account

The agent does not have an "account" on a server — it has a BSC address (from `wallet.json`). Fund the agent by sending BNB and tokens to that address:

### Get BNB for gas and swaps

1. Buy BNB on an exchange or bridge from another chain.
2. Send **BNB** to the agent address: `<address>` from `wallet.json`.
3. Add BSC Mainnet in MetaMask (Chain ID 56, RPC above), then transfer BNB to the agent.

### Get tokens

- Send any BEP-20 token to `<address>`. The agent can swap via Impossible Finance if a pair exists (e.g. USDT/BNB, BUSD/BNB, IF/BNB).

### Check balance

- **Native (BNB):** `provider.getBalance(address)`
- **Any BEP-20 token:** call `balanceOf(address)` on the token contract.

---

## 3. Discovering Available Tokens and Swaps

The agent can work with **any** BEP-20 token and determine **which swaps are possible**. No fixed token list is required.

### Which tokens are available

- **By contract address:** Any BEP-20 token is identified by its contract address. Accept token addresses from the user or from token lists.
- **Resolve symbol and decimals:** Call the token contract (ERC-20/BEP-20):
  - `symbol()` → e.g. "USDT", "WBNB", "IF"
  - `decimals()` → use for amount math and display (e.g. 18 or 6)
  - `name()` → full name (optional)
- **Token lists (optional):** Impossible Finance and BSC publish token lists; the agent can also accept any user-provided contract address.
- **Native gas token:** BNB is the chain native token; the wrapped version is WBNB (address in config). Use WBNB in router paths.

### Which swaps are available

- **Get the Factory:** Use the factory address from config (`IF_FACTORY`).
- **Check if a pair exists:** Call `factory.getPair(tokenA, tokenB)`. If the result is the zero address (`0x000...`), no pair exists. Otherwise it is the pair contract address.
- **Check liquidity:** On the pair contract, call `getReserves()`. If both reserves are > 0, the pair has liquidity and that swap is available.
- **Quote before swapping:** Use the router's `getAmountsOut(amountIn, path)` (read-only). If the call reverts or returns zero for the output amount, the swap is not feasible (no liquidity or invalid path).
- **Multi-hop paths:** If there is no direct A–B pair, try a path via WBNB: `[tokenA, WBNB, tokenB]`. Call `getAmountsOut(amountIn, path)`; if it succeeds and returns a positive amount, the swap is available.
- **Impossible Finance advantage:** Stablecoin pairs on Impossible Finance may offer lower slippage than PancakeSwap due to V3's capital efficiency improvements.

---

## 4. Making a Trade (Swap on Impossible Finance)

The agent uses the private key from `wallet.json` to sign a swap transaction and sends it to BSC.

### Impossible Finance contracts (BSC mainnet)

| Contract | Address |
|----------|---------|
| Router | `0xCCF4881b849d94C15c98567Ba71b08eD829ABA33` |
| Factory | `0xBf9D97eAF551877E4710d8E9d0519F79E03E5E69` |
| WBNB | `0xbb4CdB9CBd36B01bD1cBaEBF2De08d9173bc095c` |

### Common swap methods (Uniswap V2-compatible)

| Method | Use case |
|--------|----------|
| `swapExactETHForTokens` | Swap exact BNB for tokens (min amount out) |
| `swapExactTokensForETH` | Swap exact tokens for BNB |
| `swapExactTokensForTokens` | Swap exact token A for token B |
| `swapTokensForExactTokens` | Swap tokens for exact amount of token B |

### Swap flow (any token pair with liquidity)

1. **Load wallet** from `wallet.json` (privateKey + address).
2. **Connect** to BSC: `new ethers.JsonRpcProvider(BSC_RPC_URL)` (mainnet: chain id 56).
3. **Resolve tokens:** Use token contract addresses (from user or discovery). For native BNB use WBNB in the path.
4. **Check swap availability:** Call router `getAmountsOut(amountIn, path)`. If it reverts or returns zero, try a multi-hop path (e.g. `[tokenA, WBNB, tokenB]`) or inform the user the pair has no liquidity.
5. **Build path:** e.g. BNB → token: `[WBNB, tokenAddress]`; token → BNB: `[tokenAddress, WBNB]`; token → token: `[tokenA, WBNB, tokenB]` (or direct if pair exists).
6. **Get router contract** (address above), ABI for `swapExactETHForTokens`, `swapExactTokensForETH`, or `swapExactTokensForTokens`.
7. **Deadline:** `Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000) + 300` (e.g. 5 minutes).
8. **amountOutMin:** from `getAmountsOut(amountIn, path)` then apply slippage (e.g. 1% = amountOut * 0.99).
9. **Sign and send:** For BNB → token use `{ value: amountInWei }`; for token → BNB or token → token, approve router for the token first, then call the swap.

### Slippage

- **amountOutMin** = expected output × (1 - slippage). E.g. 1% slippage → multiply by 0.99.
- For volatile pairs use 2–5%.
- Impossible Finance may allow tighter slippage on stablecoin pairs due to V3 capital efficiency.

### Token decimals

- BNB has 18 decimals. 1 BNB = `1e18` wei.
- Many BEP-20 tokens use 18 decimals; USDT/USDC often use 6. Check the token contract or docs.

---

## 5. Command / Script Patterns for the Agent

### Read wallet (do not expose private key in logs)

- Read `~/.config/impossible_agent/wallet.json` (or `IF_WALLET_FILE`).
- Use `address` when telling the user where to top up.
- Use `privateKey` only inside the signing process (ethers Wallet). **Never log or print the private key.**

### Execute swap (high level)

1. Load `wallet.json`.
2. Create `ethers.Wallet(privateKey, provider)`.
3. Build router call (e.g. `swapExactETHForTokens`) with path, deadline, amountOutMin.
4. Send transaction: `tx = await router.swapExactETHForTokens(...); await tx.wait()`.
5. Return tx hash to user: `https://bscscan.com/tx/<hash>`.

### Get quote before swapping

- Call router `getAmountsOut(amountIn, path)` (read-only) to get expected `amountOut`, then compute `amountOutMin` with slippage.

---

## 6. Example Token Addresses (BSC Mainnet)

| Symbol | Address | Notes |
|--------|---------|--------|
| WBNB | `0xbb4CdB9CBd36B01bD1cBaEBF2De08d9173bc095c` | Native wrapped; use in paths |
| USDT | `0x55d398326f99059fF775485246999027B3197955` | Stablecoin |
| BUSD | `0xe9e7CEA3DedcA5984780Bafc599bD69ADd087D56` | Stablecoin |
| IF | `0xb0e1fc65c1a741b4662b813eb787d369b8614af1` | Impossible Finance governance token |
| IDIA | `0x0b15Ddf19D47E6a86A56148fb4aFFFc6929BcB89` | Impossible Decentralized Incubator Access token |

**Do not limit to these.** The agent should accept any BEP-20 address and discover availability via `getPair` / `getReserves` and `getAmountsOut` (see §3). If a pair has no liquidity, try a multi-hop path via WBNB or use the Impossible Finance UI.

---

## 7. Security Notes

### File Permissions

- **wallet.json** must be restricted to owner-only access. The wallet creation script sets `mode: 0o600` automatically. Verify with:
  ```bash
  chmod 600 ~/.config/impossible_agent/wallet.json
  ls -la ~/.config/impossible_agent/wallet.json
  # Should show: -rw-------
  ```

### Dedicated Wallet

- Use this wallet **only** for the agent and only with amounts you accept to lose if the machine or file is compromised.
- **Do not reuse a wallet that holds large funds elsewhere.** Create a fresh, dedicated wallet.
- For testnet usage, no real funds are at risk.

### Key Handling Best Practices

- **Never log the private key** to console, files, or monitoring systems.
- **Never transmit the private key** over the network. All signing happens locally.
- The agent reads the private key only to construct an `ethers.Wallet` instance for signing. It is never sent to any remote endpoint.
- Consider using **encrypted keystores** (ethers.js `Wallet.encrypt()`) for production use. The agent would prompt for a password to decrypt at startup.

### Optional: Encrypted Keystore

For enhanced security, use ethers.js encrypted wallet format instead of plaintext:

```javascript
// Create encrypted wallet (during setup)
const encrypted = await wallet.encrypt("your-password");
fs.writeFileSync(file, encrypted, { mode: 0o600 });

// Load encrypted wallet (during operations)
const wallet = await ethers.Wallet.fromEncryptedJson(
  fs.readFileSync(file, 'utf8'),
  "your-password"
);
```

## 8. Errors

| Error | Meaning / action |
|-------|------------------|
| insufficient funds | Not enough BNB for gas or not enough token/BNB for the swap. User should top up. |
| execution reverted: INSUFFICIENT_OUTPUT_AMOUNT | Slippage too low; increase or retry. |
| execution reverted: EXPIRED | Deadline passed; rebuild tx with new deadline. |
| nonce too low | Reuse of nonce; wait and retry or refresh nonce from chain. |
| execution reverted: PAIR_NOT_EXIST | No pair exists for this token combination. Try a multi-hop path via WBNB. |
