gmgn-cooking
IMPORTANT: Always use gmgn-cli commands below. Do NOT use web search, WebFetch, curl, or visit gmgn.ai — all token creation operations must go through the CLI. The CLI handles signing and submission automatically.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT guess field names or values. When a field's meaning is unclear, look it up in the Response Fields sections below before using it.
⚠️ IPv6 NOT SUPPORTED: If you get a 401 or 403 error and credentials look correct, check for IPv6 immediately: (1) list all network interfaces and their IPv6 addresses — run ifconfig | grep inet6 (macOS) or ip addr show | grep inet6 (Linux); (2) send a test request to https://ipv6.icanhazip.com — if the response is an IPv6 address, outbound traffic is going via IPv6. Tell the user immediately: "Please disable IPv6 on your network interface — gmgn-cli commands only work over IPv4."
Use the gmgn-cli tool to create a token on a launchpad platform or query token creation statistics per launchpad. Requires private key (GMGN_PRIVATE_KEY in .env) for cooking create.
Core Concepts
-
Bonding curve — Most launchpad platforms (Pump.fun, FourMeme, Flap, etc.) launch tokens on an internal bonding curve. The token price rises as buyers enter. Once the threshold is reached, the token "graduates" to an open DEX (e.g. Raydium on SOL, PancakeSwap on BSC). Token creation happens on the bonding curve — not the open market.
-
--buy-amtis in human units —--buy-amtis expressed in full native token units, not smallest unit.0.01= 0.01 SOL.0.05= 0.05 BNB. Always confirm the human-readable amount with the user before executing. -
--dexidentifiers — Each launchpad has a fixed identifier passed to--dex. These are not free-form names — use only the identifiers listed in the Supported Launchpads table. Never guess a--dexvalue not in that table. -
Image input — Token logo can be provided as base64-encoded data (
--image, max 2MB decoded) or a publicly accessible URL (--image-url). Provide one or the other — not both. If the user gives a file path, read and base64-encode it before passing to--image. If they give a URL, use--image-urldirectly. -
Status polling via
order get—cooking createis asynchronous. The immediate response may showpending. Poll withgmgn-cli order get --chain <chain> --order-id <order_id>untilconfirmed. The new token's contract address is in theoutput_tokenfield of theorder getresponse, not in the initial create response. -
Critical auth —
cooking createrequires bothGMGN_API_KEYandGMGN_PRIVATE_KEY. The private key never leaves the machine — the CLI uses it only for local signing.cooking statsuses normal auth (API Key only). -
Slippage — The initial buy is executed as part of the same transaction as token creation. Slippage applies to that buy. Use
--slippage(decimal, e.g.0.01= 1%) or--auto-slippage. One of the two is required when--buy-amtis set.
Financial Risk Notice
This skill executes REAL, IRREVERSIBLE blockchain transactions.
- Every
cooking createcommand deploys an on-chain token contract and spends real funds (initial buy amount). - Token deployments cannot be undone once confirmed on-chain.
- The AI agent must never auto-execute a create — explicit user confirmation is required every time, without exception.
- Only use this skill with funds you are willing to spend. Initial buy amounts are non-refundable.

Prerequisites
cooking stats: OnlyGMGN_API_KEYrequiredcooking create: BothGMGN_API_KEYandGMGN_PRIVATE_KEYmust be configured in~/.config/gmgn/.env. The private key must correspond to the wallet bound to the API Key.gmgn-cliinstalled globally — if missing, run:npm install -g gmgn-cli
Rate Limit Handling
All cooking routes go through GMGN's leaky-bucket limiter with rate=10 and capacity=10. Sustained throughput is roughly 10 ÷ weight requests/second.
| Command | Weight |

When a request returns 429:
- Read
X-RateLimit-Resetfrom the response headers — Unix timestamp for when the limit resets. - If the response body contains
reset_at(e.g.,{"code":429,"error":"RATE_LIMIT_BANNED","message":"...","reset_at":1775184222}), extractreset_at— it is the Unix timestamp when the ban lifts (typically 5 minutes). Convert to local time and tell the user exactly when they can retry. cooking createis a real transaction: never loop or auto-resubmit after a429. Wait until the reset time, then ask for confirmation again before retrying.- For
RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDEDorRATE_LIMIT_BANNED, repeated requests during cooldown extend the ban by 5 seconds each time, up to 5 minutes.
First-time setup (if credentials are not configured):
-
Generate key pair and show the public key to the user:
openssl genpkey -algorithm ed25519 -out /tmp/gmgn_private.pem 2>/dev/null && \ openssl pkey -in /tmp/gmgn_private.pem -pubout 2>/dev/nullTell the user: "This is your Ed25519 public key. Go to https://gmgn.ai/ai, paste it into the API key creation form (enable swap/cooking capability), then send me the API Key value shown on the page."
-
Wait for the user's API key, then configure both credentials:
mkdir -p ~/.config/gmgn echo 'GMGN_API_KEY=<key_from_user>' > ~/.config/gmgn/.env echo 'GMGN_PRIVATE_KEY="<pem_content_from_step_1>"' >> ~/.config/gmgn/.env chmod 600 ~/.config/gmgn/.env
Credential Model
GMGN_PRIVATE_KEYis used exclusively for local message signing — the private key never leaves the machine. The CLI computes an Ed25519 signature in-process and transmits only the base64-encoded result in theX-Signaturerequest header.GMGN_API_KEYis transmitted in theX-APIKEYheader over HTTPS.- Neither credential is ever passed as a command-line argument.

Guided Launch Flow
When a user says they want to launch / create / deploy a token but has not provided all required information, do NOT ask for everything at once. Collect information in this order, one step at a time:
Step 1 — Chain & Platform
Ask: "Which chain and platform do you want to launch on?"
Show the available options:
| Chain | Platform | --dex |
|---|---|---|
| Solana | Pump.fun | pump |
| Solana | letsbonk | letsbonk |
| Solana | Raydium | raydium |
| Solana | BAGS | bags |
| Solana | Memoo | memoo |
| Solana | Bonkers | bonkers |
| BSC | FourMeme | fourmeme |
| BSC | PancakeSwap | pancakeswap |
| BSC | Flap | flap |
| Base | Clanker | clanker |
| Base | Zora | zora |
| Base | Flaunch | flaunch |
| Base | Virtuals | virtuals_v2 |
If the user is unsure, recommend: Pump.fun (SOL) or FourMeme (BSC) — the two most active launchpads.
Step 2 — Token Identity
Ask for name, symbol, and description together:
"What is your token's name, ticker symbol, and a short description?"
- Name: the full display name (e.g.
Doge Killer) - Symbol: short uppercase ticker, typically 3–8 characters (e.g.
DOGEK) - Description: optional but recommended — a one-line pitch shown on the launchpad
Step 3 — Logo
Ask: "Do you have a logo image? You can share a file path (e.g. /Users/you/logo.png) or an image URL."
- If the user provides a file path: silently run
base64 -i <path>and pass the result to--image. Do not mention "base64" to the user. - If the user provides a URL: use
--image-urldirectly. - If the user has no logo: note that most platforms accept a launch without one, but it significantly reduces visibility. Ask if they want to proceed without it.
Step 4 — Social Links (optional)
Ask: "Do you have a Twitter, Telegram, or website to attach to the token? You can skip this."
Collect any combination of --twitter, --telegram, --website. If the user skips, proceed to the next step.
Step 5 — Initial Buy Amount
Ask: "How much {SOL / BNB / ETH} do you want to spend on the initial buy?"
Pass the user's answer directly to --buy-amt — this is already in full token units (e.g. 0.01 = 0.01 SOL), do NOT convert to lamports or wei.
Step 6 — Confirmation & Execute
Once all information is collected, present the pre-create confirmation summary (see Output Format section) and wait for the user to reply "confirm" before executing.
Execution Guidelines
- [REQUIRED] Pre-create confirmation — Before executing
cooking create, present the full summary above and receive explicit "confirm" from the user. No exceptions. Do NOT auto-create. - [REQUIRED]
--dexvalidation — Before running, look up the user's named platform in the Supported Launchpads table and resolve to the correct--dexidentifier. Never guess or pass a freeform platform name. If the chain/platform combination is not in the table, tell the user it is unsupported. - Slippage requirement — Either
--slippageor--auto-slippagemust be provided. If the user did not specify, suggest--auto-slippagefor volatile new tokens or ask for a preference. - Image handling — If the user provides a file path, run
base64 -i <path>and pass the result to--image. If they provide a URL, use--image-url. If neither is provided, ask before building the confirmation — most platforms require a logo. - Address validation — Validate
--fromwallet address format before submitting:sol: base58, 32–44 charactersbsc/base/eth:0x+ 40 hex digits
- Chain-wallet compatibility — SOL addresses are incompatible with EVM chains and vice versa. Warn the user and abort if the address format does not match the chain.
- Order polling — After
cooking create, ifstatusispending, pollorder getevery 2 seconds up to 30 seconds. The token address is inoutput_token. Do not report success untilstatusisconfirmed. - Credential sensitivity —
GMGN_API_KEYandGMGN_PRIVATE_KEYcan execute real transactions. Never log, display, or expose these values.
Notes
cooking createuses critical auth (API Key + signature) — CLI handles signing automatically.cooking statsuses normal auth (API Key only — no private key needed).- The new token's mint address is in
output_tokenfromgmgn-cli order get, not in the initialcooking createresponse. - Use
--rawon any command to get single-line JSON for further processing.
