Quick Start for AI Agents​

Minimal Setup (3 Lines)​

import { AgentConfig } from '@gala-chain/launchpad-sdk';

const { sdk, validation } = await AgentConfig.quickSetup();
console.log(`Agent ready: ${validation?.ready}`);

What Just Happened?​

  1. Auto-detected environment from LAUNCHPAD_ENV or ENVIRONMENT (stage or prod), defaulting to prod
  2. Created or imported wallet from process.env.PRIVATE_KEY or generated new one
  3. Configured SDK with appropriate timeouts and debug settings
  4. Validated setup including balance checks and connectivity tests
  5. Ready for operations with full error context if something failed

quickSetup resolves to { sdk, wallet, config, validation? }: wallet is the AgentWallet (gala-core-sdk's generated wallet plus an ethers Wallet), config the resolved LaunchpadSDKConfig, and validation a SetupValidation that is present unless you pass autoValidate: false. It is { ready, sdk, wallet, issues: string[], warnings: string[], capabilities: { canTrade (balance >= 0.1 GALA), canCreateTokens (balance >= 100 GALA), hasBalance, connectionHealthy } }. AgentConfig.readOnlySetup() builds a wallet-less SDK, and multiWalletSetup(wallets, environment = 'stage') returns Record<string, LaunchpadSDK> with validation skipped.

Complete Setup with Options​

import { AgentConfig } from '@gala-chain/launchpad-sdk';

const { sdk, wallet, config, validation } = await AgentConfig.quickSetup({
  environment: 'prod',
  privateKey: process.env.TRADING_WALLET_KEY!,
  timeout: 60000,
  debug: false,
  agentId: 'my-trading-bot-v1',
  autoValidate: true
});

// Check capabilities before proceeding
if (validation === undefined || !validation.ready) {
  console.error('Setup issues:', validation?.issues);
  process.exit(1);
}

if (!validation.capabilities.canTrade) {
  console.warn('Insufficient balance for trading:', validation.warnings);
}

// All good - start trading!
const pools = await sdk.fetchPools({ type: 'recent', pageSize: 10 });

Read-Only Mode Setup (No Wallet Required)​

For data analysis, monitoring, and query-only operations, you don't need a wallet configured. This reduces startup time and enables read-only agents without wallet secrets:

import { AgentConfig } from '@gala-chain/launchpad-sdk';

// Read-only mode: readOnlySetup builds an SDK with no wallet (it resolves to { sdk, config }).
// quickSetup without a privateKey does NOT do this: it falls back to PRIVATE_KEY or generates a wallet.
const { sdk } = await AgentConfig.readOnlySetup({
  environment: 'prod',
  timeout: 30000,
  debug: false,
  agentId: 'market-monitor-agent'
});

// All query operations work fine
const pools = await sdk.fetchPools({ type: 'recent', pageSize: 10 });
const price = await sdk.fetchTokenPrice({ tokenName: 'anime' });
const distribution = await sdk.fetchTokenDistribution('anime');

// ❌ This will throw ValidationError('WALLET_REQUIRED')
try {
  await sdk.buy({
    tokenName: 'anime',
    amount: '1',
    type: 'native',
    expectedAmount: '100',
    slippageToleranceFactor: 0.01
  });
} catch (error) {
  console.error('Cannot trade without wallet:', error instanceof Error ? error.message : error);
}

Read-Only vs Full-Access Comparison:

// ✅ READ-ONLY MODE (No wallet, no secrets needed)
const readOnly = await AgentConfig.readOnlySetup({
  environment: 'prod',
  agentId: 'data-analyzer'
  // No wallet is created - safe for untrusted environments
});

// ✅ Available methods in read-only:
await readOnly.sdk.fetchPools({ type: 'recent' });           // ✅ Works
await readOnly.sdk.fetchPoolDetails('anime');                // ✅ Works
await readOnly.sdk.fetchTokenPrice({ tokenName: 'anime' });  // ✅ Works
await readOnly.sdk.fetchTokenDistribution('anime');          // ✅ Works
await readOnly.sdk.fetchGalaBalance('eth|...');            // ✅ Works
await readOnly.sdk.getComments({ tokenName: 'anime' });      // ✅ Works

// ❌ Operations requiring wallet:
await readOnly.sdk.buy(buyOptions);                           // ❌ Throws
await readOnly.sdk.sell(sellOptions);                         // ❌ Throws
await readOnly.sdk.transferGala(transferOptions);            // ❌ Throws
await readOnly.sdk.createComment(commentOptions);            // ❌ Throws

// ✅ FULL-ACCESS MODE (With wallet for signing operations)
const fullAccess = await AgentConfig.quickSetup({
  environment: 'prod',
  privateKey: process.env.PRIVATE_KEY!,  // Now we have signing capability
  agentId: 'trading-bot'
});

// ✅ Available methods in full-access:
await fullAccess.sdk.fetchPools({ type: 'recent' });         // ✅ Works
await fullAccess.sdk.buy(buyOptions);                         // ✅ Works
await fullAccess.sdk.transferGala(transferOptions);          // ✅ Works
await fullAccess.sdk.createComment(commentOptions);          // ✅ Works

Dynamic Wallet Configuration (Upgrade from Read-Only)​

You can start in read-only mode and upgrade to full-access dynamically when needed:

import { AgentConfig } from '@gala-chain/launchpad-sdk';
import { Wallet } from 'ethers';

// Start with read-only capability
const { sdk } = await AgentConfig.readOnlySetup({
  environment: 'prod',
  agentId: 'adaptive-agent'
  // No wallet yet
});

// Check if wallet is available
console.log(`Has wallet: ${sdk.hasWallet()}`);  // false

// Perform read-only operations
const pools = await sdk.fetchPools({ type: 'recent', pageSize: 10 });
console.log(`Found ${pools.items.length} pools`);

// Later, upgrade to full-access (e.g., triggered by user input or logic)
const shouldTrade = process.env.TRADING_WALLET_KEY !== undefined;
if (shouldTrade) {
  sdk.setWallet(new Wallet(process.env.TRADING_WALLET_KEY!));
  console.log(`Wallet configured: ${sdk.hasWallet()}`);  // true

  // Now trading operations work
  const quote = await sdk.calculateBuyAmount({
    tokenName: 'anime',
    amount: '10',
    type: 'native'
  });

  const result = await sdk.buy({
    tokenName: 'anime',
    amount: '10',
    type: 'native',
    expectedAmount: quote.amount,
    slippageToleranceFactor: 0.01
  });

  console.log(`Trade executed: ${result.transactionId}`);
}

sdk.cleanup();

Key Points:

  • ✅ Start Simple: Initialize without wallet for read-only operations
  • ✅ Flexible: Add wallet later with setWallet() when needed
  • ✅ Type-Safe: validateWallet() checks before signing operations
  • ✅ No Secrets: Read-only agents don't expose private keys
  • ✅ Progressive Enhancement: Begin with queries, add trading capability later

SDK Architecture Overview​

Service-Based Backend Alignment​

The SDK internally uses 5 backend-aligned services (you don't interact with these directly):

  1. LaunchpadService → https://lpad-backend-{env}.defi.gala.com

    • Pool management, trade history, comments, profiles

  2. GalaChainService → https://galachain-gateway-{env}.galachain.com

    • Balances, transfers, blockchain operations

  3. Swap backend (dexBackendBaseUrl) → the stage preset, prod https://dex-backend-prod1.defi.gala.com

    • Read-only: LaunchpadPriceService reads GET /market/price for the USD price of a launchpad token (fetchTokenPrice). DEX quotes, pools, positions and market data are gswap-sdk's, not this SDK's

  4. BundleService → https://bundle-backend-{env}.defi.gala.com

    • Token trading, transaction bundling

  5. WebSocketService → wss://bundle-backend-{env}.defi.gala.com

    • Real-time transaction monitoring

Flattened Public API​

You interact with a single SDK instance that exposes most methods directly, with one namespaced exception for DEX trading:

// No child controllers for launchpad/chain operations - everything on sdk.*
sdk.fetchPools(...)           // Pool operations
sdk.buy(...)                  // Trading operations
sdk.fetchGalaBalance(...)     // Balance queries
sdk.createComment(...)        // Social features
sdk.transferGala(...)         // Token transfers

// GSwap DEX trading is gswap-sdk's own client (launchpad-sdk has none):
// const gSwap = new GSwap({ env, signer: new PrivateKeySigner(key), walletAddress: sdk.getAddress() });
gSwap.pools.getPools(...)       // Pool discovery
gSwap.quoting.quoteExactInput(...) // Swap quotes
gSwap.swaps.swap(...)           // Queued swap submission

This flattened design simplifies agent implementation for launchpad/chain operations - no need to navigate controller hierarchies. DEX trading, quoting, positions, symbols, assets, market data and the trading competition live in @gala-chain/gswap-sdk's GSwap client (gSwap.*), which you build with the same key.

Complete Method Catalog​

Note: This section covers a core subset of methods across eight categories. The LaunchpadSDK class has 343 public instance methods (plus the events and realtime getters and the static cleanupAll), counted from the class body of the built dist/LaunchpadSDK.d.ts: every method declared in the class that is not private/protected/static. They also cover bridging, streaming, chat, session auth and more. GSwap DEX trading is gswap-sdk's GSwap client (gSwap.*), not part of this SDK. See the API Reference for the complete list.

Category 2: Trading Operations​

calculateBuyAmount(options): Promise<AmountCalculationResult>​

Calculate how many tokens you'll receive for a given GALA amount (or vice versa).

Options:

{
  tokenName: string,
  amount: string,             // Standard decimal format (e.g., "1", "10.5")
  type: 'native' | 'exact'    // 'native' = spending GALA, 'exact' = buying exact tokens
}

Returns:

{
  amount: string,                    // Calculated amount (opposite of input type)
  transactionFee: string,            // Platform fee in GALA
  reverseBondingCurveFee: string,    // RBC fee in GALA
  gasFee: string                     // Gas fee (fixed at 1 GALA)
}

There is no price-impact field; derive one from amount and the input amount if you need it.

Units: amount and every returned amount are decimal strings in whole units: GALA for 'native', tokens for 'exact' ('10' is 10 GALA, '1000' is 1000 tokens). They are never base units or wei.

Usage:

// How many tokens for 10 GALA?
const quote = await sdk.calculateBuyAmount({
  tokenName: 'dragnrkti',
  amount: '10',  // 10 GALA

  maxAcceptableReverseBondingCurveFee?: string,
  maxAcceptableReverseBondingCurveFeeSlippageFactor?: number,
  privateKey?: string                  // Optional per-call key override
}

{
  transactionId: string,
  blockHash?: string,
  gasUsed?: string,
  timestamp: number,                   // Confirmation time, number not Date
  type: 'buy' | 'sell',
  method: 'native' | 'exact',
  inputAmount: string,                 // GALA for buys, tokens for sells
  outputAmount: string,                // Tokens for buys, GALA for sells
  totalFees: string,
  tokenName: string,
  vaultAddress: string,
  slippageTolerance?: number
}

Usage:

// Step 1: Get quote
const quote = await sdk.calculateBuyAmount({
  tokenName: 'dragnrkti',
  amount: '5',  // 5 GALA
  type: 'native'
});

// Step 2: Execute trade with slippage protection
const result = await sdk.buy({
  tokenName: 'dragnrkti',
  amount: '5',                        // 5 GALA, same unit as the quote
  type: 'native',
  expectedAmount: quote.amount,       // REQUIRED
  slippageToleranceFactor: 0.05       // 5% slippage
});

console.log(`Transaction ID: ${result.transactionId}`);
console.log(`Spent ${result.inputAmount} GALA, received ${result.outputAmount} tokens`);

An address with no profile row still answers a profile (the name, image and bio are null).

Category 4: Token Creation​

launchToken(data): Promise<TokenLaunchResult>​

Create a new token on the launchpad. The supply and bonding curve are fixed by the launchpad; you provide identity, optional pre-buy and optional reverse bonding curve fees.

  to: string,                 // eth|... or 0x...
  tokenName?: string,         // Or tokenId
  tokenId?: TokenId,
  amount: string,             // Decimal string in whole tokens
  uniqueKey?: string,
  privateKey?: string
}

Returns: { transactionId: string, blockNumber?: number }

Category 7: Token Lock/Unlock​

lockTokens(data: LockTokensData): Promise<LockTokensResult>​

Lock one or more tokens on GalaChain for staking, escrow, or vesting purposes. The batch is a single transaction (all tokens lock or none do); lock parameters (lockAuthority, expires, name) from the first entry that sets them apply to the whole batch.

Options:

{
  tokens: Array<{
    tokenName?: string,           // Token to lock (e.g., 'anime'), used when tokenId is absent
    tokenId?: TokenId,            // Or a token id / class key / instance key
    amount: string,               // Amount to lock (standard decimal format)
    lockAuthority?: string,       // Address that can unlock (defaults to caller)
    expires?: number,             // Optional expiration timestamp in milliseconds
    name?: string                 // Optional lock name for matching during unlock
  }>,
  uniqueKey?: string,             // Optional idempotency key (auto-generated)
  privateKey?: string             // Optional per-call key override
}

Returns:

{
  transactionId?: string,
  blockNumber?: number,
  locked: Array<{ tokenClassKey, quantity: string, lockAuthority: string }>
}

Usage:

// Basic lock (caller becomes lock authority)
const result = await sdk.lockTokens({
  tokens: [{ tokenName: 'anime', amount: '1000' }]  // Lock 1000 tokens
});
console.log(`Lock transaction: ${result.transactionId}`);

// Lock with custom authority (escrow pattern)
const escrowResult = await sdk.lockTokens({
  tokens: [{
    tokenName: 'anime',
    amount: '500',
    lockAuthority: 'eth|1234567890abcdef...',  // Third party can unlock
    name: 'escrow-order-001'
  }]
});

// Time-locked (auto-releases after expiration)
const timedResult = await sdk.lockTokens({
  tokens: [{
    tokenName: 'anime',
    amount: '200',
    expires: Date.now() + (30 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000),  // 30 days
    name: 'vesting-cliff-1'
  }]
});

unlockTokens(data: UnlockTokensData): Promise<UnlockTokensResult>​

Unlock previously locked tokens on GalaChain (batch, single transaction). Must be signed by the lock authority.

Options:

{
  tokens: Array<{
    tokenName?: string,           // Token to unlock
    tokenId?: TokenId,
    amount: string,               // Amount to unlock
    name?: string                 // Optional lock name to match specific lock
  }>,
  uniqueKey?: string,
  privateKey?: string
}

Returns: { transactionId?: string, blockNumber?: number, unlocked: Array<{ tokenClassKey, quantity }> }

Usage:

// Basic unlock
const result = await sdk.unlockTokens({
  tokens: [{ tokenName: 'anime', amount: '500' }]
});
console.log(`Unlock transaction: ${result.transactionId}`);

// Unlock specific named lock
const namedResult = await sdk.unlockTokens({
  tokens: [{
    tokenName: 'anime',
    amount: '500',
    name: 'escrow-order-001'  // Match the lock by name
  }]
});

Lock/Unlock Patterns:

// Pattern 1: Self-staking (user locks their own tokens)
await sdk.lockTokens({ tokens: [{ tokenName: 'anime', amount: '1000' }] });
// Later...
await sdk.unlockTokens({ tokens: [{ tokenName: 'anime', amount: '1000' }] });

// Pattern 2: Escrow (third party authority)
await sdk.lockTokens({
  tokens: [{
    tokenName: 'anime',
    amount: '500',
    lockAuthority: 'eth|EscrowContract...',  // Escrow contract unlocks
    name: 'trade-12345'
  }]
});

// Pattern 3: Vesting schedule
await sdk.lockTokens({
  tokens: [{
    tokenName: 'anime',
    amount: '10000',
    expires: Date.now() + (365 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000),  // 1 year cliff
    name: 'employee-vesting-2025'
  }]
});

Error Handling Patterns​

Validation Errors​

import { ValidationError } from '@gala-chain/launchpad-sdk';

try {
  await sdk.buy({
    tokenName: 'invalid!name',  // Invalid characters
    amount: 'not-a-number',     // Invalid format
    type: 'native',
    expectedAmount: '...',
    slippageToleranceFactor: 0.05
  });
} catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof ValidationError) {
    console.error(`Validation failed: ${error.field} - ${error.code}`);
    // Handle validation error
  }
}

Transaction Errors​

import { TransactionFailedError } from '@gala-chain/launchpad-sdk';

try {
  const result = await sdk.buy({ tokenName: 'anime', amount: '100', type: 'native', expectedAmount: '1' });
  console.log(`Success: ${result.transactionId}`);
} catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof TransactionFailedError) {
    console.error(`Transaction ${error.transactionId} failed: ${error.status}`);
    // Handle transaction failure
  }
}

Network Errors​

try {
  const pools = await sdk.fetchPools({ type: 'recent' });
} catch (error) {
  const code = (error as { code?: string }).code;
  if (code === 'ECONNREFUSED') {
    console.error('Backend unreachable');
  } else if (code === 'ETIMEDOUT') {
    console.error('Request timeout');
  } else {
    console.error('Unknown error:', error);
  }
}

Setup Validation​

const { sdk, validation } = await AgentConfig.quickSetup();

if (validation === undefined || !validation.ready) {
  console.error('Setup failed:');
  validation?.issues.forEach(issue => console.error(`- ${issue}`));
  process.exit(1);
}

if (validation.warnings.length > 0) {
  console.warn('Setup warnings:');
  validation.warnings.forEach(warn => console.warn(`- ${warn}`));
}

Best Practices for Agent Implementation​

1. Always Use AgentConfig​

// ❌ Bad - manual setup
import { LaunchpadSDK } from '@gala-chain/launchpad-sdk';
import { Wallet } from 'ethers';
const wallet = new Wallet(process.env.PRIVATE_KEY!);
const manualSdk = new LaunchpadSDK({ wallet, baseUrl: 'https://lpad-backend-prod1.defi.gala.com' });

// ✅ Good - AgentConfig handles everything
import { AgentConfig } from '@gala-chain/launchpad-sdk';
const { sdk } = await AgentConfig.quickSetup();

2. Validate Before Operating​

const { sdk, validation } = await AgentConfig.quickSetup({
  autoValidate: true
});

// Check specific capabilities
if (!validation?.capabilities.canTrade) {
  console.error('Insufficient balance for trading');
  process.exit(1);
}

3. Always Calculate Before Trading​

async function tradeCarefully(): Promise<void> {
// ❌ Bad - trading blindly
await sdk.buy({
  tokenName: 'dragnrkti',
  amount: '5',
  type: 'native',
  expectedAmount: '???',  // What should this be?
  slippageToleranceFactor: 0.05
});

// ✅ Good - calculate first
const quote = await sdk.calculateBuyAmount({
  tokenName: 'dragnrkti',
  amount: '5',                     // 5 GALA
  type: 'native'
});

// Check quote before executing: the quote has amount and fees, no price-impact field
const totalFeesGala = Number(quote.transactionFee) + Number(quote.reverseBondingCurveFee) + Number(quote.gasFee);
if (totalFeesGala > 0.1 * 5) {
  console.warn('Fees exceed 10% of the trade, skipping');
  return;
}

await sdk.buy({
  tokenName: 'dragnrkti',
  amount: '5',
  type: 'native',
  expectedAmount: quote.amount,
  slippageToleranceFactor: 0.05
});
}

4. Use Slippage Protection​

// ❌ Bad - no slippage protection
slippageToleranceFactor: 0  // Will fail if price moves

// ✅ Good - reasonable slippage
slippageToleranceFactor: 0.05  // 5% tolerance for normal volatility
slippageToleranceFactor: 0.10  // 10% for high volatility

// ✅ Good - choose per trade size
const slippage = Number(amount) < 100 ? 0.02 : 0.05;

5. Handle Rate Limits​

// Implement exponential backoff for rate limits
async function retryWithBackoff<T>(
  fn: () => Promise<T>,
  maxRetries = 3,
  baseDelay = 1000
): Promise<T> {
  for (let i = 0; i < maxRetries; i++) {
    try {
      return await fn();
    } catch (error) {
      if ((error as { response?: { status?: number } }).response?.status === 429) {  // Rate limited
        const delay = baseDelay * Math.pow(2, i);
        console.log(`Rate limited, retrying in ${delay}ms`);
        await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, delay));
      } else {
        throw error;
      }
    }
  }
  throw new Error('Max retries exceeded');
}

// Usage
const pools = await retryWithBackoff(() =>
  sdk.fetchPools({ type: 'recent' })
);

6. Clean Up Resources​

// Always cleanup before exiting
process.on('SIGINT', () => {
  console.log('Shutting down agent...');
  sdk.cleanup();
  process.exit(0);
});

process.on('SIGTERM', () => {
  sdk.cleanup();
  process.exit(0);
});

// Or use try/finally
try {
  // Agent operations
  await sdk.fetchPools({ type: 'recent' });
} finally {
  sdk.cleanup();
}

7. Environment-Specific Configuration​

// Stage - longer timeouts, debug enabled
const { sdk: devSdk } = await AgentConfig.quickSetup({
  environment: 'stage',
  timeout: 60000,
  debug: true
});

// Production - optimized settings
const { sdk: prodSdk } = await AgentConfig.quickSetup({
  environment: 'prod',
  timeout: 30000,
  debug: false,
  agentId: 'production-bot-v1'
});

8. Secure Wallet Management​

// ❌ Bad - hardcoded keys
const { sdk: hardcoded } = await AgentConfig.quickSetup({
  privateKey: '0x1234567890abcdef...'
});

// ✅ Good - environment variables
const { sdk: fromEnv } = await AgentConfig.quickSetup({
  privateKey: process.env.PRIVATE_KEY!  // From .env file
});

// ✅ Good - multi-wallet with different permissions
const sdks = await AgentConfig.multiWalletSetup({
  trading: process.env.TRADING_WALLET!,      // Low balance, frequent use
  creation: process.env.CREATION_WALLET!,    // High balance, rare use
  monitoring: 'generate'                     // No balance needed
}, 'prod');

Environment Configuration​

Stage Environment​

const { sdk } = await AgentConfig.quickSetup({
  environment: 'stage',
  debug: true,
  timeout: 60000
});

// The stage preset targets the Gala staging backends (launchpad, bundle and swap)
// and the GalaChain testnet gateway: https://gateway-testnet.galachain.com

Production Environment​

const { sdk } = await AgentConfig.quickSetup({
  environment: 'prod',
  debug: false,
  timeout: 30000,
  privateKey: process.env.PRODUCTION_WALLET!
});

// URLs used:
// - Launchpad: https://lpad-backend-prod1.defi.gala.com
// - GalaChain: https://gateway-mainnet.galachain.com
// - Bundle: https://bundle-backend-prod1.defi.gala.com
// - Swap backend: https://dex-backend-prod1.defi.gala.com

Custom Environment​

const { sdk } = await AgentConfig.quickSetup({
  environment: 'prod',
  baseUrl: 'https://custom-backend.example.com',
  timeout: 45000
});

Testing and Validation​

Unit Test Example​

import { AgentConfig } from '@gala-chain/launchpad-sdk';

describe('Trading Agent', () => {
  let sdk: Awaited<ReturnType<typeof AgentConfig.quickSetup>>['sdk'];

  beforeAll(async () => {
    const result = await AgentConfig.quickSetup({
      environment: 'stage',
      autoValidate: true
    });
    sdk = result.sdk;
  });

  afterAll(() => {
    sdk.cleanup();
  });

  test('should fetch pools', async () => {
    const result = await sdk.fetchPools({ type: 'recent', pageSize: 10 });
    expect(result.items.length).toBeGreaterThan(0);
    expect(result.pageInfo.hasNextPage).toBeDefined();
  });

  test('should calculate buy amount', async () => {
    const quote = await sdk.calculateBuyAmount({
      tokenName: 'testtoken',
      amount: '1',
      type: 'native'
    });

    expect(quote.amount).toBeDefined();
    expect(quote.transactionFee).toBeDefined();
    expect(quote.gasFee).toBeDefined();
  });
});

Integration Test Example​

test('complete trading flow', async () => {
  const { sdk, validation } = await AgentConfig.quickSetup({
    environment: 'stage'
  });

  // Verify setup
  expect(validation?.ready).toBe(true);
  expect(validation?.capabilities.canTrade).toBe(true);

  // Get quote
  const quote = await sdk.calculateBuyAmount({
    tokenName: 'testtoken',
    amount: '1',               // 1 GALA
    type: 'native'
  });

  expect(quote.amount).toBeTruthy();

  // Execute trade
  const result = await sdk.buy({
    tokenName: 'testtoken',
    amount: '1',
    type: 'native',
    expectedAmount: quote.amount,
    slippageToleranceFactor: 0.05
  });

  expect(result.transactionId).toBeTruthy();
  expect(result.type).toBe('buy');
  expect(result.inputAmount).toBeTruthy();

  sdk.cleanup();
});
