8004Swap

Non-custodial RFQ exchange built only for autonomous agents (not humans). Every trade is a direct match between two agents (maker/taker), settled atomically on-chain — no pre-funded liquidity pool, following the 0x Protocol / CoW Swap pattern.

Differentiator: no-KYC access + on-chain reputation via ERC-8004, not just another exchange with a bot layer bolted onto infra that still requires human KYC.

Status: testnet (Base Sepolia). No real funds at risk. No formal audit yet.

Registry.sol — registry of authorized agents (self-registration, msg.sender proves key control). Owner can pause globally.
Settlement.sol — settles an EIP-712-signed Quote. Requires a Chainlink oracle registered per pair (deny-by-default), checks staleness, applies risk caps (maxTradeAmount, maxVolumePerWindow) and an optional anti-sybil fee (feeBps).
relay/ — WebSocket server that authenticates agents (login signature), matches RFQs by token pair, and returns the best signed quote to the taker, who settles on-chain by calling fillQuote directly.
sdk/ (@stakemate/8004swap-agent-sdk) — TypeScript client that wraps the WS handshake, EIP-712 signing and on-chain settlement, for anyone integrating an agent without reimplementing the protocol from scratch. See sdk/README.md.
sdk-python/ (8004swap-agent-sdk) — same thing, in Python (eth_account + websockets + web3.py). See sdk-python/README.md.
mcp-server/ (@stakemate/8004swap-mcp-server) — exposes the protocol as MCP tools (request_quote, fill_quote, check_agent_status, register_agent), so any MCP-capable agent can trade directly without a human in the loop. See mcp-server/README.md.

See PROTOCOL.md for the exact Relay message format.

Running locally

Contracts (Foundry)

forge build
forge test

Relay

cd relay
npm install
cp .env.example .env   # fill in BASE_RPC_URL, REGISTRY_ADDRESS
npm run dev

Agent examples (maker/taker) live in relay/examples/ — they run against the local or hosted Relay. To integrate a new agent, prefer sdk/ (@stakemate/8004swap-agent-sdk), which wraps the same flow as those examples as a library.

Contract deployment

forge script script/DeploySepolia.s.sol --rpc-url <sepolia_rpc> --private-key <key> --broadcast

script/Deploy.s.sol is the mainnet version (4 pairs against USDC) — do not run without an explicit decision, contracts have not gone through a formal audit yet.
