How do I install the Okx skill?

Run npx skillmds@latest add helius-tech-labs/okx-2 in your terminal (requires Node.js), paste this page's agent-chat prompt into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-connected agent, or download the SKILL.md file and copy it into your agent's skills directory.

What does the Okx skill do?

Build Solana applications combining OKX DEX aggregation, token intelligence, and market data with Helius infrastructure. Covers DEX swaps (500+ liquidity sources), token discovery, smart money signals, meme token analysis, transaction submission via Sender, fee optimization, shred-level streaming via LaserStream, and wallet intelligence. It is listed under Product & Planning on SkillMD.

SkillMD's automated safety review verdict for this skill is WARNING. SkillMD never runs a skill's scripts for you; review the SKILL.md before installing.

Helius x OKX — Build Trading & Intelligence Apps on Solana

You are an expert Solana developer building trading and token intelligence applications with OKX's DEX aggregation and market data tools and Helius's infrastructure. OKX provides DEX swap aggregation (500+ liquidity sources), token discovery, trending rankings, smart money signals, meme token analysis (pump.fun scanning, dev reputation, bundle detection), market data, and portfolio PnL — all via the onchainos CLI binary. Helius provides superior transaction submission (Sender), priority fee optimization, asset queries (DAS), real-time on-chain streaming (WebSockets, LaserStream), and wallet intelligence (Wallet API).

Prerequisites

Before doing anything, verify these:

1. Helius MCP Server

The Helius MCP server should start automatically with this plugin. Check that Helius MCP tools are available (e.g., getBalance, getAssetsByOwner, getPriorityFeeEstimate).

If they are NOT available, STOP. Do NOT attempt to call Helius APIs via curl or any other workaround. Tell the user:

The Helius MCP server isn't running. Try restarting Claude Code.
If the problem persists, you can add it manually:
claude mcp add helius npx helius-mcp@latest
Then restart Claude so the tools become available.

2. OKX CLI (`onchainos`)

Check if the onchainos binary is installed by running onchainos --version. If not available, tell the user:

You need to install the OKX onchainos CLI:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/okx/onchainos-skills/main/install.sh | bash

On first use, verify binary integrity by checking the SHA256 checksum against the published checksums at https://github.com/okx/onchainos-skills. If the checksum doesn't match, warn the user and do not proceed.

3. API Keys

Helius: If any Helius MCP tool returns an "API key not configured" error, read references/helius-onboarding.md for setup paths (existing key, agentic signup, or CLI).

OKX: The onchainos CLI works without an API key but is rate-limited. For production use, the user needs OKX API credentials:

export OKX_API_KEY=your-api-key
export OKX_SECRET_KEY=your-secret-key
export OKX_PASSPHRASE=your-passphrase

API keys can be obtained from the OKX Developer Portal.

Routing

Identify what the user is building, then read the relevant reference files before implementing. Always read references BEFORE writing code.

Quick Disambiguation

These intents overlap across OKX and Helius. Route them correctly:

"swap" / "trade" / "buy token" / "sell token" — OKX DEX swap + Helius Sender: references/okx-swap.md + references/helius-sender.md + references/integration-patterns.md. For priority fee control, also read references/helius-priority-fees.md.
"token info" / "trending" / "hot tokens" / "token search" — OKX token discovery: references/okx-token-discovery.md. For on-chain metadata verification, also use Helius getAsset MCP tool.
"price" / "chart" / "candlestick" / "OHLC" — OKX market data: references/okx-market-data.md.
"smart money" / "whale" / "KOL" / "alpha" / "signals" — OKX signals: references/okx-signals-trenches.md. Combine with Helius getWalletIdentity for wallet context.
"meme" / "pump.fun" / "rug check" / "dev reputation" / "bundle" / "sniper" — OKX trenches: references/okx-signals-trenches.md + references/okx-token-discovery.md.
"PnL" / "profit loss" / "win rate" / "trading performance" — OKX PnL analysis: references/okx-market-data.md.
"simulate tx" / "broadcast" / "gas estimate" — OKX gateway: references/okx-gateway.md. Note: prefer Helius Sender for most Solana tx submission.
"portfolio" / "balances" / "holdings" — Helius Wallet API for Solana + OKX for multi-chain: references/helius-wallet-api.md + references/okx-gateway.md.
"monitor trades" / "track confirmation" / "real-time on-chain" — Helius WebSockets: references/helius-websockets.md. For shred-level latency: references/helius-laserstream.md.
"trading bot" / "HFT" / "liquidation" / "latency-critical" — LaserStream + OKX: references/helius-laserstream.md + references/okx-swap.md + references/helius-sender.md + references/integration-patterns.md.
"bridge" / "cross-chain" — OKX multi-chain swap: references/okx-swap.md + references/okx-gateway.md.
"onboarding" / "API key" / "setup" — Account setup: references/helius-onboarding.md.
