Catalyst Dex Integration

catalyst dex integration

overview

adds dex abstractions for requested decentralized exchanges to dex.trades.

when to use: use when the user wants to add one or more dexs (by project/namespace) to dex.trades for a given chain.

parameters

• <issue_id>: linear issue id (e.g., CUR2-548)
• <chain>: chain name (e.g., monad, sonic)
• <project>: DEX project name (e.g., kuru, uniswap)
• <namespace>: contract namespace for source lookup (partial string ok, e.g., "kuru", "uni")

from the invocation or user message: 1st = issue_id, 2nd = chain, 3rd = project, 4th = namespace. use these for every <placeholder> below. if given in free form, infer or ask once for missing values.

usage

/catalyst-dex-integration CUR2-548 monad kuru kuru

dune mcp server: user-dune-mcp. for ad-hoc sql, prefer temporary execution if the dune mcp supports it in-session. only create saved/throwaway queries with createDuneQuery when temporary execution is not available or when a later step explicitly needs a query_id. fallback sequence when query_id is required: create query with createDuneQuery (pass sql in query) -> run with executeQueryById (using returned query_id) -> fetch rows with getExecutionResults (using returned execution_id).

conventions

• execution order: numbered items = execute sequentially. any step that says "run" or "execute" is blocking; complete it before proceeding.
• code patterns: use existing chain patterns as reference (e.g. dbt_subprojects/dex/models/trades/kaia/, .../mezo/). ordering: mimic existing; if unclear, append. swap chain name in: file paths, model names, schema entries, blockchain values.
• contributors: new files: set git username only. existing files: append git username.

prep vars

• retrieve chain metadata: run this sql via the ad-hoc sql sequence above: select * from dune.blockchains where name = '<chain>' (substitute <chain> with the chain name). extract: chain_id, name (display name), token_address (native token).
• retrieve first_block_time: run this sql via the ad-hoc sql sequence above: select min(time) from <chain>.blocks where number <> 0 (substitute <chain>).

git workflow

1. verify main is up to date: fetch latest, pull if behind, exit if diverged.
2. create branch: name <issue_id>-<chain>-dex-integration, create off main, checkout, warn if exists.

additional prep

• verify decoded dex tables exist: use dune mcp executeQueryById with query_id: 6318398, query_parameters: [{"key":"chain","value":"<chain>","type":"text"},{"key":"namespace","value":"<namespace>","type":"text"}] (substitute <chain> and <namespace>). retrieve from query results: namespace, name, and abi.
• find common events in abi following patterns like: Swap, PairCreated, and PoolCreated. if not found, query <chain>.logs_decoded.
• identify dex type: uniswap v2 fork, v3 fork, or custom.

steps

1. define DEX sources

   • create/update sources/_sector/dex/trades/<chain>/_sources.yml
   • append new sources replicating pattern from existing source blocks in that file (copy one block, replace chain/project/namespace)

2. create platform base trades model

   • create dbt_subprojects/dex/models/trades/<chain>/platforms/<project>_<chain>_base_trades.sql
   • uniswap v2 forks: use uniswap_compatible_v2_trades macro
   • uniswap v3 forks: use uniswap_compatible_v3_trades macro
   • custom DEXs: check docs; use as reference dbt_subprojects/dex/models/trades/<chain>/platforms/kuru_monad_base_trades.sql or existing macros

3. chain-level setup (new chain only)

   • create dbt_subprojects/dex/models/trades/<chain>/dex_<chain>_base_trades.sql
   • create dbt_subprojects/dex/models/trades/<chain>/dex_<chain>_trades.sql
   • create dbt_subprojects/dex/models/trades/<chain>/dex_<chain>_token_volumes_daily.sql
   • add <chain> to chains list in dbt_subprojects/dex/models/trades/dex_trades.sql
   • add <chain> to chains list in dbt_subprojects/dex/models/trades/dex_token_volumes_daily.sql

4. create/update schema file

   • create dbt_subprojects/dex/models/trades/<chain>/_schema.yml (new chain) with dex_<chain>_trades, dex_<chain>_base_trades, dex_<chain>_token_volumes_daily
   • append platform model definition to existing schema

5. create seed file

   • append <project>_<chain>_base_trades_seed to dbt_subprojects/dex/seeds/trades/_schema.yml
   • create empty dbt_subprojects/dex/seeds/trades/<project>_<chain>_base_trades_seed.csv

6. update dex_info.sql

   • if not already present, append <project> to dbt_subprojects/dex/models/dex_info.sql

7. final checks

   • From repo root: run uv sync --locked, then cd dbt_subprojects/dex and uv run dbt compile (or uv run dbt compile --select <project>_<chain>_base_trades). Fix any errors.
   • populate seed csv: replace <COMPILED_BASE_TRADES_SQL> in the query below with the exact compiled sql for the model <project>_<chain>_base_trades (from dbt compile output). use it as a subquery, not a table name. run the full query via the ad-hoc sql sequence above and paste the 2-3 rows into the seed csv.

   with base_trades as (
     select
       blockchain, project, version, block_date, tx_hash, evt_index,
       token_bought_address, token_sold_address, block_number,
       token_bought_amount_raw, token_sold_amount_raw,
       row_number() over (partition by blockchain, project, version order by block_number desc) as rn
     from ( <COMPILED_BASE_TRADES_SQL> )
   )
   select
     blockchain, project, version, block_date, tx_hash, evt_index,
     token_bought_address, token_sold_address, block_number,
     token_bought_amount_raw, token_sold_amount_raw
   from base_trades where rn <= 3
   

8. commit, push, and open PR ready for review

   • stage all integration files (sources, models, schema, seeds, dex_trades / dex_token_volumes_daily / dex_info updates as applicable).
   • commit with a Conventional Commit message, type prefix only (no scope), e.g. feat: add <project> to dex.trades on <chain>.
   • push the branch: git push -u origin HEAD.
   • create a PR ready for review with gh pr create (do not pass --draft):
     • title: feat: add <project> to dex.trades on <chain> (adjust for multi-project / new-chain wording).
     • body via HEREDOC, using the Spellbook PR template shape:

       ## Thank you for contributing to Spellbook 🪄
       
       ### Description:

       - DEX type: <uniswap v2 fork | uniswap v3 fork | custom>.
       - Sources: `<namespace>_<chain>` event tables used by the platform model.
       - Includes platform base trades, chain-level models (if new chain), schema tests, and seed rows.
       
       ### Checklist
       - [x] `dbt compile` succeeds for `<project>_<chain>_base_trades`
       - [x] seed CSV populated with 2–3 recent trades
       - [ ] CI green
       

   • return the PR URL when done. final expected state is ready for review (not draft).

• uniswap v3 fork: dbt_subprojects/dex/models/trades/<chain>/platforms/uniswap_v3_monad_base_trades.sql

notes

• for multi-version DEXs (v2 + v3), create separate models
• use version filter in seed test if sharing seed file
