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

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
-
Create a New Strategy (scaffolds a self-contained Python project with
pyproject.toml,.venv/,uv.lock)almanak strat new
-
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")
Supported Networks
Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Avalanche, Polygon, BSC, Sonic, Plasma, Blast, Mantle, Berachain
Supported Protocols
- DEXs: Uniswap V3, SushiSwap V3, PancakeSwap V3, TraderJoe V2, Aerodrome, Curve
