Gmgn Cooking

• Bonding curve — Most launchpad platforms (Pump.fun, FourMeme, Flap, etc.) launch tokens on an internal bonding curve. The token price rises as buyers enter. Once the threshold is reached, the token "graduates" to an open DEX (e.g. Raydium on SOL, PancakeSwap on BSC). Token creation happens on the bonding curve — not the open market.

• --buy-amt is in human units — --buy-amt is expressed in full native token units, not smallest unit. 0.01 = 0.01 SOL. 0.05 = 0.05 BNB. Always confirm the human-readable amount with the user before executing.

• --dex identifiers — Each launchpad has a fixed identifier passed to --dex. These are not free-form names — use only the identifiers listed in the Supported Launchpads table. Never guess a --dex value not in that table.

• Image input — Token logo can be provided as base64-encoded data (--image, max 2MB decoded) or a publicly accessible URL (--image-url). Provide one or the other — not both. If the user gives a file path, read and base64-encode it before passing to --image. If they give a URL, use --image-url directly.

• Status polling via order get — cooking create is asynchronous. The immediate response may show pending. Poll with gmgn-cli order get --chain <chain> --order-id <order_id> until confirmed. The new token's contract address is in the output_token field of the order get response, not in the initial create response.

• Critical auth — cooking create requires both GMGN_API_KEY and GMGN_PRIVATE_KEY. The private key never leaves the machine — the CLI uses it only for local signing. cooking stats uses normal auth (API Key only).

• Slippage — The initial buy is executed as part of the same transaction as token creation. Slippage applies to that buy. Use --slippage (decimal, e.g. 0.01 = 1%) or --auto-slippage. One of the two is required when --buy-amt is set.

Financial Risk Notice

This skill executes REAL, IRREVERSIBLE blockchain transactions.

• Every cooking create command deploys an on-chain token contract and spends real funds (initial buy amount).
• Token deployments cannot be undone once confirmed on-chain.
• The AI agent must never auto-execute a create — explicit user confirmation is required every time, without exception.
• Only use this skill with funds you are willing to spend. Initial buy amounts are non-refundable.

Supported Chains

sol / bsc / base / eth / ton

Supported Launchpads by Chain

When the user names a platform colloquially (e.g. "pump.fun", "four.meme", "PancakeSwap"), map it to the correct --dex identifier from this table before running the command.

Prerequisites

• cooking stats: Only GMGN_API_KEY required
• cooking create: Both GMGN_API_KEY and GMGN_PRIVATE_KEY must be configured in ~/.config/gmgn/.env. The private key must correspond to the wallet bound to the API Key.
• gmgn-cli installed globally — if missing, run: npm install -g gmgn-cli

IMPORTANT — Credential lookup order: gmgn-cli loads ~/.config/gmgn/.env first, then overlays any .env found in the current working directory (project-level overrides global). If credentials appear missing or wrong, check whether a .env in the workspace directory is shadowing the global config:

ls -la .env 2>/dev/null && echo "WARNING: local .env is overriding ~/.config/gmgn/.env"

If a local .env exists but lacks GMGN_API_KEY / GMGN_PRIVATE_KEY, either add them to that file or remove it so the global config is used.

Rate Limit Handling

All cooking routes go through GMGN's leaky-bucket limiter with rate=10 and capacity=10. Sustained throughput is roughly 10 ÷ weight requests/second.

When a request returns 429:

• Read X-RateLimit-Reset from the response headers — Unix timestamp for when the limit resets.
• If the response body contains reset_at (e.g., {"code":429,"error":"RATE_LIMIT_BANNED","message":"...","reset_at":1775184222}), extract reset_at — it is the Unix timestamp when the ban lifts (typically 5 minutes). Convert to local time and tell the user exactly when they can retry.
• cooking create is a real transaction: never loop or auto-resubmit after a 429. Wait until the reset time, then ask for confirmation again before retrying.
• For RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED or RATE_LIMIT_BANNED, repeated requests during cooldown extend the ban by 5 seconds each time, up to 5 minutes.

First-time setup (if credentials are not configured):

1. Generate key pair and show the public key to the user:

   openssl genpkey -algorithm ed25519 -out /tmp/gmgn_private.pem 2>/dev/null && \
     openssl pkey -in /tmp/gmgn_private.pem -pubout 2>/dev/null
   

   Tell the user: "This is your Ed25519 public key. Go to https://gmgn.ai/ai, paste it into the API key creation form (enable swap/cooking capability), then send me the API Key value shown on the page."

2. Wait for the user's API key, then configure both credentials:

   mkdir -p ~/.config/gmgn
   echo 'GMGN_API_KEY=<key_from_user>' > ~/.config/gmgn/.env
   echo 'GMGN_PRIVATE_KEY="<pem_content_from_step_1>"' >> ~/.config/gmgn/.env
   chmod 600 ~/.config/gmgn/.env
   

Credential Model

• GMGN_PRIVATE_KEY is used exclusively for local message signing — the private key never leaves the machine. The CLI computes an Ed25519 signature in-process and transmits only the base64-encoded result in the X-Signature request header.
• GMGN_API_KEY is transmitted in the X-APIKEY header over HTTPS.
• Neither credential is ever passed as a command-line argument.

cooking stats Usage

gmgn-cli cooking stats [--raw]

cooking stats Response Fields

cooking create Parameters

* --image or --image-url: provide exactly one. --slippage or --auto-slippage: provide exactly one.

cooking create Response Fields

Status Polling

Token creation is asynchronous. If the initial cooking create response shows status: pending:

1. Poll with gmgn-cli order get every 2 seconds, up to 30 seconds:

   gmgn-cli order get --chain <chain> --order-id <order_id>
   

2. The new token's contract / mint address is in the output_token field of the order get response — it is NOT returned by cooking create directly.
3. Stop polling once status is confirmed, failed, or expired.
4. On confirmed: display output_token as the token address and include the block explorer link.
5. On failed / expired: report the error_status and do not retry automatically.

Output Format

Pre-create Confirmation

Before every cooking create, present this summary and wait for explicit user confirmation:

⚠️ Token Creation Confirmation Required

Chain:        {chain}
Platform:     {--dex} (e.g. pump / fourmeme)
Wallet:       {--from}
Token Name:   {--name}
Symbol:       {--symbol}
Initial Buy:  {--buy-amt} {native currency} (e.g. 0.01 SOL)
Slippage:     {--slippage}% (or "auto")
Image:        {--image-url or "base64 provided"}
Social:       {twitter / telegram / website if provided}

Reply "confirm" to deploy this token. This action is IRREVERSIBLE.

Post-create Receipt

After polling confirms a successful deployment:

✅ Token Created

Token:    {--name} ({--symbol})
Address:  {output_token from order get}
Chain:    {chain}
Platform: {--dex}
Tx:       {explorer link for hash}
Order ID: {order_id}

Guided Launch Flow

When a user says they want to launch / create / deploy a token but has not provided all required information, collect information one required field at a time — never bundle multiple required fields into a single question. The user should be able to reply with a single value, not a labeled list.

Ask each required field as a short, direct question. Wait for the answer before moving to the next. Optional fields are grouped into one question after all required fields are collected.

Step 1 — Chain & Platform

Ask: "Which chain and platform?"

Show the options concisely:

If the user is unsure, recommend: Pump.fun (SOL) or FourMeme (BSC).

Step 2 — Token Name

Ask: "Token name?"

Wait for the user's reply (e.g. Doge Killer).

Step 3 — Token Symbol

Ask: "Ticker symbol?"

Wait for the user's reply (e.g. DOGEK). Typically 3–8 uppercase characters.

Step 4 — Logo

Ask: "Logo image? (file path or URL — skip to launch without one)"

• File path → silently run base64 -i <path> and pass the result to --image. Do not mention "base64" to the user.
• URL → use --image-url directly.
• Skip / none → proceed without a logo. Note that most platforms accept this, but it reduces visibility.

Step 5 — Initial Buy Amount

Ask: "How much {SOL / BNB / ETH} for the initial buy?"

Pass the user's answer directly to --buy-amt — already in full token units (e.g. 0.01 = 0.01 SOL). Do NOT convert to lamports or wei.

Step 6 — Optional Details (single question)

Ask all optional fields together in one message:

"Any optional extras? (skip any you don't need)"

• Description — one-line pitch shown on the launchpad
• Twitter — Twitter / X URL
• Telegram — Telegram group URL
• Website — project website URL

The user can reply with just the ones they have, or say "skip" / "none" to proceed.

Step 7 — Confirmation & Execute

Once all information is collected, present the pre-create confirmation summary (see Output Format section) and wait for the user to reply "confirm" before executing.

Execution Guidelines

• [REQUIRED] Pre-create confirmation — Before executing cooking create, present the full summary above and receive explicit "confirm" from the user. No exceptions. Do NOT auto-create.
• [REQUIRED] --dex validation — Before running, look up the user's named platform in the Supported Launchpads table and resolve to the correct --dex identifier. Never guess or pass a freeform platform name. If the chain/platform combination is not in the table, tell the user it is unsupported.
• Slippage requirement — Either --slippage or --auto-slippage must be provided. If the user did not specify, suggest --auto-slippage for volatile new tokens or ask for a preference.
• Image handling — If the user provides a file path, run base64 -i <path> and pass the result to --image. If they provide a URL, use --image-url. If neither is provided, ask before building the confirmation — most platforms require a logo.
• Address validation — Validate --from wallet address format before submitting:
  • sol: base58, 32–44 characters
  • bsc / base / eth: 0x + 40 hex digits
• Chain-wallet compatibility — SOL addresses are incompatible with EVM chains and vice versa. Warn the user and abort if the address format does not match the chain.
• Order polling — After cooking create, if status is pending, poll order get every 2 seconds up to 30 seconds. The token address is in output_token. Do not report success until status is confirmed.
• Credential sensitivity — GMGN_API_KEY and GMGN_PRIVATE_KEY can execute real transactions. Never log, display, or expose these values.

Notes

• cooking create uses critical auth (API Key + signature) — CLI handles signing automatically.
• cooking stats uses normal auth (API Key only — no private key needed).
• The new token's mint address is in output_token from gmgn-cli order get, not in the initial cooking create response.
• Use --raw on any command to get single-line JSON for further processing.
