01.xyz Exchange Developer Skill

Non-custodial perpetual futures on Solana. Built by traders, for traders.

What this Skill is for

Use this Skill when the user asks for:

  • Market Monitoring: Orderbook depth, mark prices, funding rates, 24h stats
  • Account Tracking: Position monitoring, margin health, liquidation risk
  • Trading Strategies: Market making, DCA, grid trading, trend following
  • SDK Integration: Setting up Nord.ts (@n1xyz/nord-ts) for TypeScript/Python
  • API Development: Building on the FTX-inspired REST API
  • Risk Management: Position sizing, circuit breakers, margin calculations
  • N1 Protocol: Understanding the N1 blockchain and ZO protocol architecture

Overview

01.xyz is a non-custodial perpetual futures exchange built on the N1 blockchain (evolution of the ZO protocol). It enables fully self-custodied derivatives trading with up to 20x leverage on major crypto assets.

Key Design Principles

| Feature | Description | |---------|-------------| | Non-custodial | Your private keys never leave your machine. No central counterparty risk. | | FTX-inspired API | Familiar REST patterns for easy migration from centralized exchanges. | | Local Signing | Users run a local API that signs transactions — funds remain under user control. | | High Performance | Sub-second finality on N1 blockchain with Solana settlement. | | Deep Liquidity | Professional market makers and tight spreads on major pairs. |

Network Endpoints

| Network | Base URL | Purpose | Status | |---------|----------|---------|--------| | Mainnet | https://zo-mainnet.n1.xyz | Live trading, real funds | Production | | Devnet | https://zo-devnet.n1.xyz | Testing, dev work | Development |

Default Stack Decisions

These are opinionated defaults. Adjust for your specific use case.

1. Data Access Pattern

| Use Case | Recommended Approach | Auth Required | |----------|---------------------|---------------| | Market data (prices, orderbook) | Direct HTTP to public endpoints | ❌ No | | Account data (positions, balances) | Local API or Nord SDK | ✅ Yes | | Order placement | Local API with user confirmation | ✅ Yes |

2. SDK Selection

| Language | Package | Use When | |----------|---------|----------| | TypeScript | @n1xyz/nord-ts | Full-featured trading, complex strategies | | Python | n1-sdk (pip) | Quant research, ML models, backtesting | | Raw HTTP | Direct REST calls | Simple monitoring, language-agnostic |

3. Security Model

  • AI only reads public data — Never expose private keys to AI systems
  • Local signing mandatory — All transactions signed by user's local instance
  • Explicit confirmation — Trading actions require human approval
  • Testnet first — Always validate on devnet before mainnet

4. Development Priority

  1. Read-only monitoring ✅ — Start here, safe for all users
  2. Account health tracking ✅ — Requires wallet address only
  3. Paper trading simulation ⚠️ — Test strategies without real funds
  4. Live trading ⚠️ — Requires local API + explicit user consent

Operating Procedure

When working with 01.xyz integration:

Phase 1: Discovery

  1. Identify the task type:

    • MONITORING — Market data, public stats
    • ACCOUNT — Position/balance queries
    • TRADING — Order placement, strategy execution
    • RISK — Health checks, liquidation analysis
  2. Determine authentication needs:

    • Public endpoints: No auth needed
    • Account data: Wallet address sufficient
    • Trading: Local API with signing required

Phase 2: Data Collection

  1. For market data:

    // Direct HTTP — no auth required
    const markets = await fetch('https://zo-mainnet.n1.xyz/info').json();
    
  2. For account data:

    // Via local API or SDK
    const account = await nord.getAccount(walletAddress);
    

Phase 3: Safety Validation

  1. Before any trading action:
    • ☐ Verify account health (margin fraction > 10%)
    • ☐ Check open orders for conflicts
    • ☐ Calculate position impact on margin
    • ☐ Confirm funding rate direction
    • ☐ Get explicit user confirmation

Phase 4: Execution

  1. Execute with monitoring:
    • Submit order via local API
    • Track fill status
    • Update position state
    • Log all actions

Quick Reference

Market IDs Reference

01.xyz uses numeric market IDs (not symbols):

| ID | Market | Max Leverage | Tick Size | |----|--------|--------------|-----------| | 0 | BTCUSD | 20x | $0.50 | | 1 | ETHUSD | 20x | $0.10 | | 2 | SOLUSD | 20x | $0.01 | | 3 | HYPEUSD | 10x | $0.01 | | ... | See /info endpoint | | |

HTTP Endpoints

Public (no auth):

GET /info                    # All markets
GET /market/{id}/orderbook   # L2 orderbook
GET /market/{id}/stats       # 24h stats, funding
GET /trades                  # Recent trades

Private (requires local API):

GET /account/{address}       # Positions, balances
POST /action                 # Submit orders

Common SDK Operations

import { Nord } from '@n1xyz/nord-ts';

// Initialize
const nord = await Nord.new({
  app: 'zoau54n5U24GHNKqyoziVaVxgsiQYnPMx33fKmLLCT5',
  solanaConnection: connection,
  webServerUrl: 'https://zo-mainnet.n1.xyz',
});

// Get markets
const markets = await nord.getMarkets();

// Get orderbook
const orderbook = await nord.getOrderbook(2); // SOLUSD

// Place order (requires auth)
const order = await nord.placeOrder({
  marketId: 2,
  side: 'buy',
  size: 1.0,
  price: 150.00,
  orderType: 'limit',
});

Safety & Risk Checklist

Pre-Trading Checklist

Read safety-first.md — Non-custodial reality check
Verify on devnet first — Test all logic with fake funds
Check account health — Margin fraction > 10% (ideally > 20%)
Review funding rates — Can flip PnL significantly
Calculate liquidation price — Know your liquidation level
Set stop-losses — Use trigger orders for downside protection
Confirm market ID — Numeric IDs, not symbols

In-Flight Monitoring

Monitor margin fraction — Alert if < 15%
Track funding payments — Every 8 hours
Watch for liquidations — Cascading effects in volatile markets
Log all operations — Audit trail for debugging

Emergency Procedures

  • Approaching liquidation: Reduce position size immediately or add collateral
  • API unresponsive: Check local API status, verify network connectivity
  • Unexpected fills: Review order history, check for stale orders
  • Wrong market ID: Cancel all pending orders, verify symbol mapping
