Clawd Twamm

clawd-twamm

Use this skill when the user wants to:

• Schedule a large spot swap via the TWAMM on-chain program
• Run or automate the permissionless TWAMM crank
• Check TWAMM workspace status / build the Anchor program
• Route a large order through time-weighted execution instead of a single AMM swap

What TWAMM Is

TWAMM (Time-Weighted Automated Market Maker) is an Anchor program that executes orders as infinitely many infinitesimal swaps over a time window. The result: the average fill price tracks the time-weighted oracle price, eliminating the price impact a large single swap would cause.

Key trade-off: near-zero slippage vs deferred fill — orders are not immediate.

Workspace Setup

# Check workspace status (finds perps/twamm-master automatically)
clawd perps twamm status

# Build the Anchor program
clawd perps twamm build

# Preview what the crank command will run
clawd perps twamm plan --token-a <MINT_A> --token-b <MINT_B>

Environment variables:

• CLAWD_TWAMM_ROOT — path to perps/twamm-master (auto-detected if unset)
• CLAWD_TWAMM_TOKEN_A_MINT — token A mint (default: SOL)
• CLAWD_TWAMM_TOKEN_B_MINT — token B mint (default: USDC)
• CLAWD_TWAMM_RPC_URL — RPC endpoint (default: SOLANA_RPC_URL or local)

Running the Crank

The crank is gated — all three must be set before a live run:

CLAWD_TWAMM_LIVE=true OPERATOR_CONFIRMED=true \
  clawd perps twamm crank --token-a <MINT_A> --token-b <MINT_B> --yes

Never pass --yes without confirming the operator has reviewed the crank parameters.

Agent API (ClawdPerpsRuntime)

const runtime = new ClawdPerpsRuntime();

// Check TWAMM workspace status
const status = runtime.getTwammStatus();

// Build a crank plan (dry-run, shows exact command)
const plan = runtime.buildTwammCrankPlan({ tokenAMint, tokenBMint });

// Preview a TWAMM-scheduled execution for a large order
const preview = runtime.previewTwammExecution("SOL", "buy", 50_000);
// preview.twamm = the crank plan
// preview.route.payload.blocked = true until CLAWD_TWAMM_LIVE=true

Integration with Perps Aggregator

The clawd-perps-aggregator exposes "twamm" as a VenueId. When routing a large order:

import { buildVenueAdapters, ImperialTransport } from "@openclawdsolana/clawd-perps-aggregator";

const adapters = buildVenueAdapters(transport, ["phoenix", "twamm"]);
// TWAMM adapter returns slippageBps ≤ 2 for any size

When to Prefer TWAMM over Immediate Execution

For perps TWAP execution use vulcan-twap-execution (Vulcan's built-in strategy runner).

Safety

• Always run status before crank to confirm workspace is ready
• Use localnet / devnet before mainnet
• The crank signs transactions continuously — keep OPERATOR_CONFIRMED=true gated
