SCXT

SCXT is a Python library providing a unified interface for interacting with exchanges across the Optimism Superchain

Overview

SCXT abstracts away the complexities of interacting with protocols by providing a consistent API across all supported exchanges. This makes it easier for developers to build trading tools, bots, and analytics platforms that work across multiple protocols and chains.

Quickstart

The core idea is to create an instance of the exchange you want to use. Let's use Synthetix V2 on the Optimism network (chain ID 10) as an example.

import os
from scxt.exchanges import SynthetixV2
from dotenv import load_dotenv

# Load environment variables (optional, for API keys etc.)
load_dotenv()

# Configuration for Synthetix V2
config = {
    "chain_id": 10,  # Optimism Mainnet
    "private_key": os.getenv("PRIVATE_KEY"), # Your wallet's private key
    "rpc_url": os.getenv("CHAIN_10_RPC") # An Optimism RPC endpoint
}

# Create the exchange instance
exchange = SynthetixV2(config)

# Fetch markets
markets = exchange.fetch_markets()
print("Markets:", markets)

Features

• Unified API between protocols and exchanges
• Market data retrieval (available markets, prices, order books)
• Account information and balances
• Consistent error handling and data formats

Supported Exchanges

• Synthetix V2

Status

SCXT is currently in early development. The API is subject to change as the project evolves.
