perp-cli

Multi-DEX perpetual futures CLI — Pacifica (Solana), Hyperliquid (HyperEVM), Lighter (Ethereum).

npm install -g perp-cli       # global install
perp --json portfolio

# Or without global install (restricted environments)
npx -y perp-cli --json portfolio

Features

• 3 Exchanges — trade, bridge, arbitrage across Pacifica, Hyperliquid, Lighter
• Funding Rate Arb — scan spreads + one-command dual-leg execution (arb exec)
• Portfolio — single call returns balances, positions, risk level across all exchanges
• CCTP V2 Bridge — $0 fee USDC bridging (Solana, Arbitrum, Base)
• Agent-First Design — --json, --fields, --ndjson, --dry-run, runtime schema introspection
• Safety — pre-trade validation, response sanitization, client-id deduplication

Setup

# Set exchange keys
perp wallet set hl <EVM_KEY>         # Hyperliquid
perp wallet set pac <SOLANA_KEY>     # Pacifica
perp wallet set lt <EVM_KEY>         # Lighter (API key auto-generated)

Agent-First CLI Design

Built following agent-first CLI principles:

# Every command returns structured JSON envelope
perp --json portfolio
# → { "ok": true, "data": {...}, "meta": { "timestamp": "..." } }

# Runtime schema introspection (don't guess commands — query this)
perp --json agent schema

# Filter output to save tokens
perp --json --fields totalEquity,risk portfolio

# Stream large lists as NDJSON (one JSON per line)
perp --json --ndjson -e hl market list

# Pre-validate before executing
perp --json -e hl trade check BTC buy 0.01
perp --json --dry-run -e hl trade market BTC buy 0.01

# Idempotent orders with client ID
perp --json -e hl trade market BTC buy 0.01 --client-id my-unique-id

All responses are auto-sanitized (control chars stripped, prompt injection patterns blocked). Errors include retryable flag — only retry when true.
