x10-python-trading-starknet 2.3.0

Python client for X10 API

Extended Python SDK

Python client for Extended API.

Minimum Python version required to use this library is 3.10 (you can use pyenv to manage your Python versions easily).

Installation

pip install x10-python-trading-starknet

Our SDK makes use of a Rust Library Python Wrapper to speed up signing and hashing of stark components. Currently, this library supports the following environments (please refer to the library repository for the most up to date information):

	3.9	3.10	3.11	3.12	3.13

TLDR

Register at Extended Testnet.

Navigate to API Management:

1. Generate an API key
2. Show API details (you will need these details to initialize a trading client)

Create an .env file (see below) in the examples directory root:

X10_API_KEY=<your_api_key>
X10_PUBLIC_KEY=<your_public_key>
X10_PRIVATE_KEY=<your_private_key>
X10_VAULT_ID=<your_vault_id>

Refer to the cases directory for the specific examples of how to use the SDK.

Each example follows the same pattern:

from dotenv import load_dotenv
from x10.core.env_config import EnvConfig
from x10.core.stark_account import StarkPerpetualAccount
from x10.config import TESTNET_CONFIG
from x10.clients.rest import RestApiClient


# Load environment variables from `.env` file and parse them into a `EnvConfig` object.
load_dotenv()
env_config = EnvConfig.parse()
env_config.validate_private_api_credentials()

# Instantiate a `StarkPerpetualAccount` object with the parsed environment variables.
stark_account = StarkPerpetualAccount(
    api_key=env_config.api_key,
    public_key=env_config.public_key,
    private_key=env_config.private_key,
    vault=env_config.vault_id,
)

# Instantiate REST API/Streaming/etc client. `stark_account` can be omitted
# if you don't need to make private API requests.
rest_client = RestApiClient(TESTNET_CONFIG, stark_account)

# Perform example action using the instantiated client.

OpenAPI Specifications

Available specifications can be found in the specs directory.

Clients

The SDK currently provides functionality using so-called clients. And each client is divided into feature-specific modules.

Onboarding

Module	Description
auth	Functionality related to client/account creation.
account	Account API keys creation.

Blocking Trading

Placing orders and receiving updates in a blocking (synchronous) manner.

REST API

Module	Description
account	Functionality related to managing an active trading account (e.g., leverage/positions/orders/etc).
builder	Functionality related to builders-specific data.
info	Functionality related to public market data (including historical data).
order_management	Functionality related to managing orders (place/cancel).
testnet	Functionality related to TESTNET specific actions (e.g., claiming TESTNET tokens).
vault	Functionality related to Vault public data and user's Vault token management (deposits/withrawals).

Streaming

Provides functionality for subscribing to real-time WebSocket updates. Each topic (stream) requires a separate WebSocket connection.

MCP (experimental)

SDK has an experimental support for MCP (Model Context Protocol). You can start MCP server by (SDK must be installed with mcp extra in the same environment):

• Running x10-mcp -- starts HTTP MCP server (available at http://localhost:8080/mcp).
• Running python -m x10.tools.mcp.mcp_server -- starts STDIO MCP server.
• Importing from x10.tools.mcp.mcp_server import mcp and running server with the params required.

MCP server expects credentials to be passed via X10_* env variables. See EnvConfig implementation for more details.

Onboarding via SDK

The process of obtaining a Stark key pair from an Ethereum account is a cryptographic procedure that involves generating a private and public key pair used in the StarkWare ecosystem. This process leverages the Ethereum account to create a deterministic Stark key pair that can be used for operations on StarkWare-based systems such as StarkEx and StarkNet.

Process of Obtaining a Stark Key Pair from an Ethereum Account

1. Context and Purpose. StarkWare-based systems require their own cryptographic keys (Stark keys) separate from Ethereum keys. However, to maintain a consistent user experience, StarkWare allows users to derive these keys deterministically from their existing Ethereum accounts. The process of obtaining a Stark key pair from an Ethereum account involves generating a signing message that the Ethereum account can sign and then using that signature to derive the Stark private key.
2. Generating the Signing Structure. The first step in the process is to generate a signing structure that will be signed by the Ethereum account. This structure is constructed using the EIP-712 standard, which allows for typed data to be signed in a structured way on Ethereum.
   1. Define the Signing Structure. The message to be signed includes: (1) account index, (2) the Ethereum wallet address, (3) and whether the terms of service (TOS) are accepted. Check get_key_derivation_struct_to_sign function implementation for more details.
   2. EIP-712 Typed Data. The signing structure uses EIP-712 typed data, which consists of:
      • Domain. This is a structured domain object that helps to prevent cross-domain replay attacks. In this case, it typically includes the name field (which might be the name of the application or system).
      • Message. This is the main data being signed, which includes the accountIndex, wallet address, and tosAccepted fields.
      • Types. This describes the types of the fields in both the domain and message.
      • Primary Type. This indicates the primary type being signed (in this case, AccountCreation).
   3. Encoding the Typed Data. The structure is encoded into a format that can be signed by the Ethereum account. This is done using the encode_typed_data function, which creates a SignableMessage. The SignableMessage includes the hash of the typed data according to the EIP-712 standard.
3. Signing the Structure with the Ethereum Account. Once the signing structure is prepared, it is signed using the Ethereum private key.
4. Deriving the Stark Private Key. The signature obtained from the Ethereum account is then used to derive the Stark private key. This is done by truncating the r value from the Ethereum signature and using it as the basis for the Stark private key. Check get_private_key_from_eth_signature function implementation in Rust Library for more details.
