DeFi Registry Manager

Manages expansion of tokens, pools, chains, networks, and DEXes across the codebase.

When to Use

• Adding new tokens to the registry
• Adding new protocols or DEXes
• Adding support for new chains
• Configuring network RPC endpoints
• Updating token addresses or decimals

Workflow

Step 1: Identify Registry Type

Determine if adding token, protocol, chain, or network.

Step 2: Follow Checklist

Use the appropriate checklist for the registry type.

Step 3: Update All Files

Ensure ALL required files are updated together.

Step 4: Validate Changes

Run validation commands to verify consistency.

Trigger Phrases

Adding a New Token - Checklist

[ ] 1. Verify token address on block explorer (checksum format)
[ ] 2. Confirm decimals (CRITICAL: USDC/USDT=6, WBTC=8, most=18)
[ ] 3. Update client/src/constants/protocols.ts - TOKENS[chainId]
[ ] 4. Update rust-core/crates/core/src/tokens.rs - chain_tokens.insert()
[ ] 5. Update server/src/services/wallet.ts - COMMON_TOKENS[chainId]
[ ] 6. Update server/src/services/wallet.ts - TOKEN_SYMBOLS (lowercase)
[ ] 7. Update shared/schema.ts - TOKEN_DECIMALS (if not standard 18)
[ ] 8. Run: grep -r "TOKEN_ADDRESS_HERE" to find any hardcoded refs

Token Template

// Frontend (protocols.ts)
{
  address: '0x...', // Checksum address
  symbol: 'TOKEN',
  name: 'Token Name',
  decimals: 18,
  chains: ['ethereum'],
}

// Rust (tokens.rs)
tokens.insert("TOKEN", Token::new(
    "0x...".parse().unwrap(),
    "TOKEN", "Token Name", 18, ChainId::Ethereum
));

// Wallet service (wallet.ts) - COMMON_TOKENS
'0x...', // TOKEN

// Wallet service (wallet.ts) - TOKEN_SYMBOLS
'0x...lowercase': 'TOKEN',

Adding a New Protocol/DEX - Checklist

[ ] 1. Add to client/src/constants/protocols.ts - PROTOCOLS array
[ ] 2. Add router address to shared/schema.ts - PROTOCOL_ADDRESSES
[ ] 3. Add to server/src/services/arbitrage.ts - DEXES (if scannable)
[ ] 4. Create adapter in server/src/services/price-oracle.ts (if needed)
[ ] 5. Update validation.ts if protocol needs specific validation

Adding a New Chain - Checklist

[ ] 1. Add ChainId to shared/schema.ts
[ ] 2. Add ChainId enum variant to rust-core/crates/core/src/lib.rs
[ ] 3. Add to client/src/constants/protocols.ts - CHAINS array
[ ] 4. Add RPC URL to server/src/config/env.ts
[ ] 5. Add chain config to server/src/services/trade-executor.ts
[ ] 6. Add tokens for new chain in all token files
[ ] 7. Add protocol addresses for new chain
[ ] 8. (Optional) Add to adminChains via Admin UI for dynamic config

Adding/Configuring a Network - Checklist

[ ] 1. Obtain reliable RPC endpoint (Alchemy, Infura, QuickNode, or self-hosted)
[ ] 2. Add environment variable to server/src/config/env.ts
     - HTTP RPC: {CHAIN}_RPC_URL
     - WebSocket: {CHAIN}_WS_URL (if needed for subscriptions)
[ ] 3. Configure rate limits and fallback RPCs if available
[ ] 4. Add network parameters to rust-core/crates/core/src/lib.rs:
     - Block time (for timing estimates)
     - Gas token decimals
     - EIP-1559 support flag
[ ] 5. Configure gas settings in server/src/services/trade-executor.ts:
     - Base fee multiplier
     - Priority fee defaults
     - Gas limit overrides
[ ] 6. Add explorer URL for transaction links
[ ] 7. Test connectivity: curl -X POST {RPC_URL} -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_blockNumber","params":[],"id":1}'
[ ] 8. Add to Admin UI via /admin -> Chains tab for dynamic updates

Validation Commands

After making changes, run these to verify consistency:

# Check all files have same token count for a chain
grep -c "ethereum" client/src/constants/protocols.ts
grep -c "Ethereum" rust-core/crates/core/src/tokens.rs

# Verify address consistency
grep -ri "0xA0b86991" --include="*.ts" --include="*.rs"

# Check for typos in addresses
grep -ri "0x6B175474E89094C44Da98b954" --include="*.ts" --include="*.rs"

Common Networks

Critical Rules

1. ALWAYS verify decimals - Wrong decimals = catastrophic bugs
2. Use checksum addresses - Mixed case for EIP-55 compliance
3. Update ALL files - Partial updates cause runtime errors
4. Test after changes - Run build for both client and Rust core
5. Lowercase in TOKEN_SYMBOLS - Keys must be lowercase addresses
6. Test RPC connectivity - Verify endpoint before deploying
7. Use fallback RPCs - Primary + backup for reliability
8. Monitor rate limits - Stay within provider quotas
