Execution Gateway

The execution gateway bridges the gap between AI analysis and on-chain action, enabling skills to execute trading decisions across multiple DEX platforms while maintaining precise economic alignment through sophisticated payment mechanisms.

Execution Coordination

The gateway addresses fundamental challenges in autonomous trading where analysis and execution maintain complex, non-linear relationships. Unlike simple request-response patterns, trading scenarios often involve conditional or delayed executions based on evolving market conditions.

Position analysis skills might recommend maintaining current holdings without triggering any transactions, generating value through risk avoidance rather than action. Conversely, copy trading activation could generate multiple executions over extended periods as followed traders adjust their positions throughout different market cycles.

Multi-DEX connectivity ensures optimal execution across available liquidity sources while respecting user preferences for slippage tolerance, execution speed, and fee minimization. The system automatically routes orders through appropriate venues based on real-time liquidity analysis and historical performance metrics.

Precise Fee Charging

Traditional x402 payments occur upfront, creating challenges for accurately pricing trading-related services where execution requirements cannot be predetermined. The gateway implements execution-based charging that aligns costs with actual value delivery rather than speculative pricing.

Skills can configure percentage-based charges tied to execution volume or fixed fees per transaction, enabling flexible monetization strategies that reflect true resource consumption. This approach ensures users pay for actual trading activity rather than potential actions that may never materialize.

Revenue sharing mechanisms enable skills to participate in execution success through performance-based compensation. Market-making strategies might charge higher fees during profitable periods while reducing costs during challenging market conditions, aligning provider incentives with user outcomes.

Authorization Framework

The gateway requires explicit user authorization before executing on-chain operations, maintaining security while enabling autonomous functionality. Authorization lists stored on-chain specify which skills can perform operations for individual users, creating granular permission control.

Dual-signature verification ensures both user consent and skill authenticity for every execution request. User signatures confirm authorization for specific operations, while skill signatures verify the authenticity of execution requests from approved providers.

Smart contract validation occurs at the gateway level, verifying signatures and authorization status before processing any on-chain transactions. This architecture prevents unauthorized operations while maintaining efficiency for approved automated trading strategies.

ERC-8004 Integration

The gateway implements ERC-8004 standard compliance for trustless agent operations, enabling reputation tracking and validation mechanisms that enhance security and trust within the autonomous trading ecosystem.

Skills must stake WILD tokens to participate in the execution gateway, creating economic incentives for proper behavior and accountability for trading decisions. Staking requirements scale with execution privileges, ensuring adequate skin-in-the-game for high-impact operations.

Governance-based slashing mechanisms provide recourse for skill misbehavior, enabling community enforcement of quality standards and user protection. The specific staking amounts and slashing conditions will be announced based on ecosystem development and community governance decisions.

Service Skill Management

Service skills require specialized gateway support for ongoing operations that span multiple execution cycles. Copy trading services exemplify this requirement by maintaining continuous monitoring capabilities with sporadic execution needs based on target trader activity.

The gateway provides persistent session management for service skills, enabling long-running operations without repeated authorization overhead. Status monitoring ensures users maintain visibility into active services while preserving the ability to terminate operations at any time.

Conditional execution logic enables sophisticated automation where single service activation triggers complex, multi-step operations based on evolving market conditions. This capability makes the trading copilot significantly more autonomous compared to simple command-response interactions.

Cross-Chain Capabilities

Multi-chain execution support enables seamless trading across different blockchain networks without manual asset management. The gateway coordinates cross-chain transfers and swaps as needed to execute trading strategies on optimal venues.

Automated asset bridging reduces friction for strategies that require positions across multiple networks while maintaining user control over cross-chain exposure and associated risks. Users can configure cross-chain preferences and limits to balance opportunity access with security considerations.
