Trade / Swap Tokens

Exchange one token for another on Starknet via Fibrous (default). Other providers (AVNU, Ekubo) can be selected with --provider, or use --provider auto to race all providers for the best price. All transactions are routed through the Paymaster by default (gas paid in STRK or configured token).

Prerequisites

• Active session required.
• Sufficient balance of the source token + gas fees.

Rules

1. BEFORE any trade, you MUST run npx starkfi@latest status and npx starkfi@latest balance to verify connectivity and source token balance.
2. Default slippage is 1%. To change, use --slippage <percent>.
3. Suggest using --simulate first for large trades so the user can review the estimated fee and expected output before committing.
4. AFTER a successful trade, you MUST verify the transaction using npx starkfi@latest tx-status <hash>.
5. For multiple swaps in one transaction, use the multi-swap skill instead.

Commands

npx starkfi@latest trade <amount> <from> <to> [--provider <fibrous|avnu|ekubo|auto>] [--slippage <percent>] [--simulate] [--json]

• Use balance to check available tokens before trading.
• Use multi-swap for executing 2-3 swaps in a single transaction.
• Use batch for combining a swap with other operations (stake, supply, send, dca, troves).
• Use dca for recurring buy orders instead of a one-time swap.
• Use troves to deposit swap proceeds into yield vaults.
• Use lst for liquid staking after swapping to STRK.
• Use config to set a custom RPC if experiencing rate limits.
