Trade / Swap Tokens
Exchange one token for another via Fibrous aggregation. The CLI finds the best route, handles token approvals, simulates the swap, and executes.
Note: Automatically detects and executes Wrap (Native -> Wrapped) and Unwrap (Wrapped -> Native) operations directly via contract calls, bypassing aggregation to save gas.
Prerequisites
- Active session required.
- Sufficient balance of the source token + gas fees.
Rules
- BEFORE any trade, you MUST run
npx fibx@latest statusandnpx fibx@latest balanceto verify connectivity and source token balance. - If the user specifies a chain, you MUST include
--chain <name>. If not specified, default tobaseand state it. - Default slippage is 0.5%. To change it, you MUST ask the user for confirmation before using
--slippage. - The CLI defaults to exact approval for ERC-20 tokens. NEVER use
--approve-maxunless the user explicitly requests it. - AFTER a successful trade, you MUST verify the transaction using
tx-statuswith the same--chainflag.

npx fibx@latest tx-status <hash>User: "Buy USDC with 1 MON on Monad"
npx fibx@latest status
npx fibx@latest balance --chain monad
npx fibx@latest trade 1 MON USDC --chain monad
npx fibx@latest tx-status <hash> --chain monadUser: "Wrap 1 ETH to WETH on Base"
npx fibx@latest status
npx fibx@latest balance
npx fibx@latest trade 1 ETH WETH --chain base
npx fibx@latest tx-status <hash>User: "Unwrap 0.5 WMON on Monad"
npx fibx@latest status
npx fibx@latest balance --chain monad
npx fibx@latest trade 0.5 WMON MON --chain monad
npx fibx@latest tx-status <hash> --chain monadError Handling
| Error | Action |
|---|---|
No route found | Liquidity may be too low or pair doesn't exist on the chain. |
Insufficient balance | Check balance and suggest a smaller amount. |
Slippage exceeded | Price moved unfavorably — suggest retrying with --slippage. |
Simulation failed | Route is invalid or would revert. Do not retry blindly. |
Not authenticated | Run authenticate-wallet skill first. |
Rate limit / 429 | Use config skill to set a custom RPC. |
