Almanak SDK

The Almanak SDK is a powerful Python library for developing, testing, and deploying autonomous DeFi agents. Built on an intent-based architecture, it provides a comprehensive framework for creating sophisticated trading strategies with minimal boilerplate.

Features

• Intent-Based Architecture: Express trading logic as high-level intents (Swap, LP, Borrow, etc.) - the framework handles compilation and execution
• Gateway Security: All external access mediated through secure gRPC gateway
• Three-Tier State Management: Automatic persistence with HOT/WARM/COLD tiers
• Comprehensive Backtesting: PnL simulation, paper trading on Anvil forks, and parameter sweeps
• Multi-Chain Support: Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Avalanche, Polygon, BSC, Sonic, Blast, Mantle, Berachain
• Protocol Integration: Uniswap V3, Aave V3, Morpho Blue, GMX V2, Lido, Ethena, Kraken, and more
• Non-Custodial Design: Full control over your funds through Safe smart accounts

Installation

pipx install almanak

Optional features ship as extras:

pipx install 'almanak[dashboard,backtest]'   # web dashboard + backtest charts/optimization

Using an AI coding agent? Teach it the SDK in one command:

almanak agent install

Auto-detects your platform (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, and 6 more) and installs the strategy builder skill.

Quick Start

1. Create a New Strategy (scaffolds a self-contained Python project with pyproject.toml, .venv/, uv.lock)

   almanak strat new
   

2. Test on a Local Anvil Fork

   cd my_strategy
   uv run almanak strat run --network anvil --once
   

Writing a Strategy

Strategies use an intent-based architecture. Implement the decide() method to return an intent:

from almanak import IntentStrategy, SwapIntent, HoldIntent, MarketSnapshot

class MyStrategy(IntentStrategy):
    def decide(self, market: MarketSnapshot) -> Intent:
        eth_price = market.prices.get("ETH")
        usdc_balance = market.balances.get("USDC")

        if eth_price < 2000 and usdc_balance > 1000:
            return SwapIntent(
                token_in="USDC",
                token_out="ETH",
                amount=1000,
                slippage=0.005,
            )
        return HoldIntent(reason="Waiting for better conditions")
