t2000: Swap Tokens

Purpose

Convert between tokens at the best available rate. Cetus Aggregator routes across 20+ DEXs and picks the lowest-price-impact path. Slippage defaults to 1%; configurable up to 5%.

Swaps are NOT gasless. Unlike t2 send USDC / t2 send USDsui, Cetus swap transactions require SUI for gas (typically < $0.01 per swap). Ensure the wallet holds a small SUI balance before swapping.

Rules

1. Preview before signing. Always run t2 swap <amount> <from> <to> --quote (or call t2000_swap in dry-run via the MCP) and surface priceImpact + toAmount to the user before broadcasting.
2. Decline obviously bad swaps. If priceImpact > 0.5% (50 bps), warn the user and require explicit confirmation. If priceImpact > 5%, refuse — that's almost certainly a thin-liquidity trap.
3. One swap per intent. Cetus aggregator handles multi-hop internally; don't chain swap calls.
4. Don't auto-decide stables. If the user says "swap to USD", ASK whether USDC or USDsui — they're both Sui-native stables.
5. Limits apply to every swap (CLI and MCP). Limits are on by default ($25/tx · $100/day); if the swap exceeds a cap (on the from-side USD value) the write throws LIMIT_EXCEEDED. Use --force (CLI) to override one time.

Command

t2 swap <amount> <from> <to> [--slippage <pct>] [--quote] [--force]

# Examples:
t2 swap 100 USDC SUI                  # 100 USDC → SUI, default 1% slippage
t2 swap 5 SUI USDC --slippage 2       # 5 SUI → USDC, 2% slippage
t2 swap 50 USDC USDsui                # stable-to-stable; usually <0.05% impact
t2 swap 100 USDC SUI --quote          # preview only (no signing)

Slippage is capped at 5% (any higher is rejected — that's degenerate liquidity).

Preview (--quote)

t2 swap 100 USDC SUI --quote

Returns (no signing, no execution):

• toAmount — estimated output (at current pool state)
• priceImpact — basis points moved by the trade
• route — provider name(s) Cetus selected (e.g. BLUEFIN + CETUS + AFTERMATH)
• fee — total Cetus protocol fee baked into the quote

--quote replaces the v3 t2000 swap-quote standalone command. One verb, one flag.

Fees

• Network gas: ~0.001-0.01 SUI per swap (self-funded from the wallet).
• Cetus protocol fee: typically 0.05-0.30% depending on the pool tier (already baked into toAmount).
• t2000 / CLI: zero fee. Audric (consumer product) adds a 10 bps overlay fee — that's separate, not charged by the CLI.

Output (default)

✓ Swapped 100 USDC for 49.8721 SUI
  Price impact:  0.04%
  Route:         USDC → SUI (Cetus + BLUEFIN)
  Gas:           0.0038 SUI
  Tx:            https://suiscan.xyz/mainnet/tx/0xdigest...

Output (--json)

{
  "tx": "0xdigest...",
  "from": "USDC",
  "to": "SUI",
  "amountIn": 100,
  "amountOut": 49.8721,
  "priceImpact": 0.04,
  "route": ["CETUS", "BLUEFIN"],
  "fee": 0.001,
  "gasCost": 0.0038
}

Error handling

Supported tokens

USDC, USDsui, USDT, USDe, SUI, vSUI, ETH, GOLD (XAUM), NAVX, WAL, and the long tail Cetus routes through. Use the canonical symbol or pass a full coin type (0x...::module::TYPE). The @t2000/sdk token registry resolves common symbols automatically; for a coin type not in the registry the decimals are read on-chain (coin metadata) so the input amount is exact — never a guess.

When called through MCP (t2000_swap tool)

{
  "from": "USDC",
  "to": "SUI",
  "amount": 100,
  "slippage": 0.01
}

• Both CLI and MCP swaps honor t2 limit set caps (enforced in @t2000/sdk, on the from-side USD value). Default caps: $25/tx · $100/day cumulative.
• Returns the same shape as --json mode (digest + amounts + price impact + route).

What NOT to do

• Don't auto-execute multi-leg flows ("swap A → B → C in three transactions"). If a multi-hop is needed, Cetus does it internally as one PTB.
• Don't recommend swapping mid-position rebalance without first surfacing impermanent-loss risk if the user asked for advice.
• Don't swap to a stable just to "park" funds with no plan — explain that the Agent Wallet is wallet-first; savings yield lives on audric.ai.
