Wayfinder Path: strategies and adapters

Wayfinder Paths SDK

An open-source SDK for building and managing automated DeFi strategies. It provides strategy abstractions, protocol adapters, and an MCP server for Claude Code.

What is Wayfinder Paths?

Wayfinder Paths is a Python SDK that lets you:

• Run DeFi strategies: deposit, rebalance, withdraw, and exit across multiple chains
• Build new paths: create adapters and strategies for any protocol
• Expose safe operations to Claude: local MCP server for balances, swaps, perps, and strategy management

Think of it as programmable DeFi infrastructure that connects your wallets to yield strategies, perpetuals, lending markets, and cross-chain routers.

Repository Layout

• wayfinder_paths/core: shared config, clients, constants, and utilities
• wayfinder_paths/adapters: protocol integrations (Moonwell, Hyperliquid, etc.)
• wayfinder_paths/strategies: strategy implementations and metadata
• wayfinder_paths/mcp: MCP server, tools, and resources for Claude Code
• scripts/: setup, wallet generation, and scaffolding helpers
• tests/ and wayfinder_paths/tests: test suites

Requirements

• Python 3.12
• Poetry (recommended)

Quick Start

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/WayfinderFoundation/wayfinder-paths-sdk.git
cd wayfinder-paths

# One-command setup (installs Poetry + deps, writes config.json, updates .mcp.json)
python3 scripts/setup.py

# One-command setup with deterministic wallets (generates + saves wallet_mnemonic)
python3 scripts/setup.py --mnemonic

# Remote two-stage setup (stage 1 installs deps + writes config.json)
python3 scripts/remote_setup_stage1.py --api-key wk_...
# Stage 2 option A (recommended): generate + persist a mnemonic (prints once)
python3 scripts/remote_setup_stage2.py --mnemonic
# Stage 2 option B: load mnemonic from file (avoids shell history)
python3 scripts/remote_setup_stage2.py --mnemonic-file /path/to/mnemonic.txt

# Check strategy status
poetry run python -m wayfinder_paths.run_strategy boros_hype_strategy --action status --config config.json

Manual Setup (if you don't want the bootstrap script)

poetry install
cp config.example.json config.json
# Edit config.json and set system.api_key

# Create a main wallet for local testing
poetry run python scripts/make_wallets.py -n 1

# Or: create deterministic wallets from a generated mnemonic (saved to config.json)
poetry run python scripts/make_wallets.py -n 1 --mnemonic

Configuration

Use config.example.json as a template. The SDK reads config.json by default.

Key fields:

• system.api_key: Wayfinder API key (or set WAYFINDER_API_KEY env var)
• system.api_base_url: API base URL (defaults to https://wayfinder.ai/api if omitted)
• strategy.rpc_urls: (optional) chain ID -> RPC URL(s) (string or list). If omitted for a chain, reads default to the Wayfinder proxy RPC at ${system.api_base_url}/blockchain/rpc/<chain_id>/.
• wallets: local wallets with label, address, and private_key_hex

Example:

{
  "system": {
    "api_base_url": "https://strategies.wayfinder.ai/api/v1",
    "api_key": "wk_your_api_key_here"
  },
  "strategy": {
    "rpc_urls": {
      "1": ["https://eth.llamarpc.com"],
      "8453": ["https://mainnet.base.org"],
      "42161": ["https://arb1.arbitrum.io/rpc"],
      "999": ["https://rpc.hyperliquid.xyz/evm"]
    }
  },
  "wallets": [
    {
      "label": "main",
      "address": "0x...",
      "private_key_hex": "0x..."
    }
  ]
}

Important: The RPC URLs in the example above are public endpoints and may rate limit. For reliable adapter reads, set strategy.rpc_urls to your own RPC provider(s) (Alchemy/Infura/QuickNode/Tenderly/etc) and put the most reliable URL first.

For detailed config documentation, see CONFIG_GUIDE.md.

Config Resolution (scripts)

By default, the SDK reads config.json from the repo root. To use a different file, set WAYFINDER_CONFIG_PATH before starting Python (or call wayfinder_paths.core.config.load_config() in your script).

Quick sanity check:

poetry run python - <<'PY'
from wayfinder_paths.core.config import resolve_config_path, get_rpc_urls
print("config_path:", resolve_config_path())
print("base_rpc:", (get_rpc_urls() or {}).get("8453"))
PY

Supported Chains

The SDK includes built-in support for these chain IDs:

Chain	ID	Code
Ethereum	1	ethereum
Base	8453	base
Arbitrum	42161	arbitrum
Polygon	137	polygon
BSC	56	bsc
Avalanche	43114	avalanche
Plasma	9745	plasma
HyperEVM	999	hyperevm

Strategies

The repository ships with several strategies. Each strategy folder contains a README with details.

Strategy (directory)	Summary	Primary Chain	Status	Docs
stablecoin_yield_strategy	USDC yield optimization across Base pools	Base	WIP	wayfinder_paths/strategies/stablecoin_yield_strategy/README.md
hyperlend_stable_yield_strategy	HyperLend stablecoin allocator	HyperEVM	Stable	wayfinder_paths/strategies/hyperlend_stable_yield_strategy/README.md
moonwell_wsteth_loop_strategy	Leveraged wstETH carry trade	Base	Stable	wayfinder_paths/strategies/moonwell_wsteth_loop_strategy/README.md
basis_trading_strategy	Delta-neutral funding rate capture	Hyperliquid	Stable	wayfinder_paths/strategies/basis_trading_strategy/README.md
boros_hype_strategy	HYPE yield with Boros + Hyperliquid hedging	Multi-chain	Stable	wayfinder_paths/strategies/boros_hype_strategy/README.md

Note: WIP (work-in-progress) strategies may have incomplete features or known issues. Running them via MCP will show a warning but execution is not blocked.

Adapters

Adapters live in wayfinder_paths/adapters and encapsulate protocol-specific logic:

• BalanceAdapter (wallet balances + transfers)
• BRAPAdapter (cross-chain swaps + bridges)
• BorosAdapter (Boros lending positions)
• HyperliquidAdapter (perps, spot, deposits, withdrawals)
• HyperlendAdapter (HyperLend lending/borrowing)
• MoonwellAdapter (Moonwell lending/borrowing)
• PendleAdapter (PT/YT and hosted SDK operations)
• MulticallAdapter (batch contract calls)
• LedgerAdapter (transaction recording)
• TokenAdapter (token metadata + pricing)
• PoolAdapter (pool analytics)
• PolymarketAdapter (Polymarket markets, orderbooks, history, and trading)
• MorphoAdapter (Morpho Blue markets, MetaMorpho vaults, rewards, and public allocator)
• AaveV3Adapter (Aave V3 lending/borrowing across Ethereum, Base, and Arbitrum)

CLI Reference

Run strategies from the CLI via wayfinder_paths.run_strategy:

# Status
poetry run python -m wayfinder_paths.run_strategy boros_hype_strategy --action status --config config.json

# Deposit
poetry run python -m wayfinder_paths.run_strategy boros_hype_strategy --action deposit \
  --main-token-amount 100 --gas-token-amount 0.01 --config config.json

# Update / Exit / Withdraw
poetry run python -m wayfinder_paths.run_strategy boros_hype_strategy --action update --config config.json
poetry run python -m wayfinder_paths.run_strategy boros_hype_strategy --action exit --config config.json
poetry run python -m wayfinder_paths.run_strategy boros_hype_strategy --action withdraw --config config.json

# Analyze / Quote (if supported by the strategy)
poetry run python -m wayfinder_paths.run_strategy boros_hype_strategy --action analyze --main-token-amount 1000
poetry run python -m wayfinder_paths.run_strategy boros_hype_strategy --action quote --amount 100

# Run continuously (loop interval defaults to 60s)
poetry run python -m wayfinder_paths.run_strategy boros_hype_strategy --action run --interval 300

Runner (local scheduler)

Run strategies on an interval without cron:

# Start the daemon (recommended: detached/background)
poetry run wayfinder runner start --detach

# Idempotent: start if needed, otherwise no-op
poetry run wayfinder runner ensure

# Add a job (run update every 10 minutes)
poetry run wayfinder runner add-job \
  --name basis-update \
  --type strategy \
  --strategy basis_trading_strategy \
  --action update \
  --interval 600 \
  --config ./config.json

# Schedule a local one-off script (must live in .wayfinder_runs/ by default)
poetry run wayfinder runner add-job \
  --name hourly-report \
  --type script \
  --script-path .wayfinder_runs/report.py \
  --arg --verbose \
  --interval 3600

# Observe / control
poetry run wayfinder runner status
poetry run wayfinder runner run-once basis-update
poetry run wayfinder runner pause basis-update
poetry run wayfinder runner resume basis-update
poetry run wayfinder runner delete basis-update
poetry run wayfinder runner runs basis-update --limit 20
poetry run wayfinder runner run-report 1 --tail-bytes 4000
poetry run wayfinder runner stop

Runner state (SQLite + per-run logs) is stored in ./.wayfinder/runner/.

For architecture/extensibility notes (e.g. future Docker/VM runner), see RUNNER_ARCHITECTURE.md.

Simulation / Dry-Runs (virtual testnets)

Before broadcasting complex fund-moving flows, you can run them on a virtual testnet (vnet) first. The SDK integrates with Gorlami, Wayfinder's fork service, which creates a temporary EVM fork where each step updates on-chain state for the next — without risking real funds.

# Dry-run a strategy on a Base fork
poetry run python wayfinder_paths/run_strategy.py moonwell_wsteth_loop_strategy \
  --action deposit --main-token-amount 100 --gas-token-amount 0.01 \
  --gorlami --chain-id 8453

# Dry-run a local script
poetry run python wayfinder_paths/run_strategy.py --script .wayfinder_runs/my_flow.py \
  --gorlami --chain-id 8453

Scope: Vnets fork EVM chains (Base, Arbitrum, Ethereum, etc.) only. Off-chain or non-EVM protocols like Hyperliquid cannot be simulated — dry-runs only apply to on-chain EVM transactions.

Uses your existing Wayfinder API key — no extra config needed. See the /simulation-dry-run skill for full details.

Contributing

We welcome contributions!

Add a New Strategy

just create-strategy "My Strategy Name"
# or
poetry run python scripts/create_strategy.py "My Strategy Name"

Implement:

• deposit()
• update()
• exit()
• _status()

Add a New Adapter

Create a new directory under wayfinder_paths/adapters/ with a manifest.yaml and adapter implementation. Implement protocol-specific methods and return (success, data) tuples.

Tests and Style

• Tests: poetry run pytest -v
• Smoke tests: poetry run pytest -k smoke -v
• Adapter/strategy tests: just test-adapter <name> / just test-strategy <name>
• Lint/format: just lint and just format

More details in TESTING.md.

Security Notes

• Never commit config.json (contains private keys)
• Use test wallets for development
• RPCs are optional: if strategy.rpc_urls is not set for a chain, reads default to the Wayfinder proxy RPC at ${system.api_base_url}/blockchain/rpc/<chain_id>/ (requires system.api_key). Set strategy.rpc_urls to use your own RPC provider(s).
