# Emblem DeFi Yield

DeFi yield research and liquid staking powered by **EmblemAI**. Research yield opportunities across protocols, review existing DeFi positions via Nansen, and enter liquid staking positions through token swaps on Solana, Ethereum, Base, BSC, Polygon, and Hedera.

**Requires**: `npm install -g @emblemvault/agentwallet`

---

## What This Skill Can Do

| Capability | How | Tools Used |
|-----------|-----|------------|
| Research yield opportunities | Ask about yields, APYs, protocols | LLM knowledge + `birdeyeTradeData`, `birdeyeTrendingTokens` |
| Review existing DeFi positions | Check LP, lending, staking, farming positions for any wallet | `nansen_defi_portfolio` |
| Liquid staking (Solana) | Swap SOL for LSTs (mSOL, JitoSOL, bSOL, jupSOL) | `splBuyIntent` |
| Token swaps for DeFi entry | Swap into DeFi tokens on any chain | `splBuyIntent`, `ethSwap`, `baseSwap`, `bscSwap`, `polygonSwap`, `hederaTokensSwap` |
| Protocol comparison | Compare yield strategies across DEXs | LLM knowledge + market data tools |
| Rug-pull checks | Verify token safety before entering positions | `rugcheck` |
| Smart money DeFi tracking | See what whales are farming | `nansen_smart_money_holdings`, `nansen_defi_portfolio` |

### Not Supported (Yet)

These features require direct LP pool management tools that are not currently available:

- Adding/removing liquidity to DEX pools
- Opening/closing concentrated liquidity (CLMM) positions
- Staking LP tokens
- Claiming farming rewards
- Pool APY rankings with live on-chain data

For these operations, use the DEX UIs directly (Raydium, Orca, Uniswap, etc.).

---

## Quick Start

```bash
npm install -g @emblemvault/agentwallet

# Research yield opportunities
emblemai --agent --profile default -m "What are the best yield farming opportunities on Solana right now?"

# Check DeFi positions for a wallet (uses nansen_defi_portfolio)
emblemai --agent --profile default -m "Use nansen_defi_portfolio to show DeFi positions for wallet 0x1234...abcd on ethereum"

# Enter liquid staking via swap
emblemai --agent --profile default -m "Swap 5 SOL for JitoSOL using splBuyIntent"
```

**Trigger phrases:**
- "Find yield opportunities"
- "What are the best APYs?"
- "Show DeFi positions for this wallet"
- "Swap SOL for JitoSOL"
- "What liquid staking options exist?"

## Supported Chains

| Chain | Swap Tool | Balances | Conditional Orders |
|-------|-----------|----------|--------------------|
| Solana | `splBuyIntent` | `solanaBalances` | Yes |
| Ethereum | `ethSwap` | `ethGetBalances` | Yes |
| Base | `baseSwap` | `baseGetBalances` | Yes |
| BSC | `bscSwap` | `bscGetBalances` | Yes |
| Polygon | `polygonSwap` | `polygonGetBalances` | Yes |
| Hedera | `hederaTokensSwap` | `hederaGetBalances` | Yes |

## Workflow: Research and Enter Yield

### Step 1: Research Opportunities
Ask about current yield landscape. The agent uses its knowledge plus live token data.
```bash
emblemai --agent --profile default -m "What are the best yield farming opportunities on Solana right now? Use birdeyeTrendingTokens to see what's hot."
```

### Step 2: Check a Wallet's DeFi Positions
Use Nansen to see existing LP, lending, staking, and farming positions.
```bash
emblemai --agent --profile default -m "Use nansen_defi_portfolio to check DeFi positions for wallet 0x1234...abcd on ethereum"
```

### Step 3: Verify Balances
Check what you have available before swapping.
```bash
emblemai --agent --profile default -m "Use solanaBalances to show my Solana balances"
```

### Step 4: Enter a Position via Swap
Swap into liquid staking tokens or DeFi tokens.
```bash
emblemai --agent --profile default -m "Use splBuyIntent to swap 5 SOL for JitoSOL"
```
Requires user confirmation in safe mode.

### Step 5: Verify
Confirm the swap executed.
```bash
emblemai --agent --profile default -m "Use solanaBalances to show my updated balances"
```

## DeFi Patterns

### Yield Research
```bash
emblemai --agent --profile default -m "What are the best yield farming opportunities on Solana? Include liquid staking, LP strategies, and lending protocols."
emblemai --agent --profile default -m "Compare Marinade (mSOL), Jito (JitoSOL), and BlazeStake (bSOL) for SOL liquid staking."
```

### DeFi Position Tracking (Nansen)
```bash
emblemai --agent --profile default -m "Use nansen_defi_portfolio to show DeFi positions for wallet 0xABC123 on ethereum"
emblemai --agent --profile default -m "Use nansen_defi_portfolio to check what DeFi protocols wallet 2J9Xrm...BL5WBJ is using on solana"
```

### Smart Money DeFi Analysis
```bash
emblemai --agent --profile default -m "Use nansen_smart_money_holdings to see what tokens smart money is holding on solana"
emblemai --agent --profile default -m "Use nansen_smart_money_trades to see recent smart money trades for JitoSOL"
```

### Liquid Staking (Solana)
```bash
emblemai --agent --profile default -m "Use splBuyIntent to swap 10 SOL for mSOL"
emblemai --agent --profile default -m "Use splBuyIntent to get a quote for swapping 5 SOL to JitoSOL"
```

### Safety Checks
```bash
emblemai --agent --profile default -m "Use rugcheck to verify token So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112"
```

### Protocol Comparison
```bash
emblemai --agent --profile default -m "Compare yields for SOL liquid staking across Marinade, Jito, BlazeStake, and Jupiter"
```

## Communication Tips

When asking about DeFi, be specific:
1. **Name the tool** — mention exact tool names for reliable execution
2. **Specify chain** — which blockchain
3. **Specify wallet** — for position lookups
4. **Specify tokens** — which tokens to swap

| Bad | Good |
|-----|------|
| `"show yield"` | `"What are the best yield opportunities on Solana? Include APYs and risks."` |
| `"check positions"` | `"Use nansen_defi_portfolio to show DeFi positions for wallet 0x123 on ethereum"` |
| `"stake SOL"` | `"Use splBuyIntent to swap 5 SOL for JitoSOL"` |

---

## Safety

All value-moving operations require user confirmation:
- Token swaps (entering liquid staking, DeFi tokens)
- Cross-chain bridges

Read-only operations execute immediately:
- Yield research
- DeFi position viewing (Nansen)
- Balance checks
- Rug-pull checks

---

## Helper Script

```bash
bash scripts/yield-scan.sh [chain]
```

Scans yield landscape for a chain. See [scripts/yield-scan.sh](scripts/yield-scan.sh).
