RUBI-BOTS-TS

Example bot implementations for Rubicon Gladius (v4) in Typescript. This repository in an onging work in progress that will be developed and maintained by Rubicon and its community. Use at your own risk. Terms of Use apply.

Overview

This repository provides a framework for building, executing, and extending trading bots designed for the Rubicon protocol using the Gladius (v4) SDK. Written in TypeScript, the bots are modular and can be adapted for different strategies, connectors, and reference venues.

Core Components:

1. Strategies

   • Strategies define and execute trading algorithms. These can vary from basic market making to more sophisticated arbitrage strategies. Example strategies include ammOutbid and cexMarketMaking.
   • Each strategy can be run independently, and detailed usage examples are provided in the strategies/README.md.

2. Connectors

   • Connectors interface with exchanges, manage liquidity, place, cancel, and edit orders.
   • Example connectors include rubicon.ts, which connects to Rubicon, providing a variety of functions necessary for managing orders and executing trades.

3. Reference Venues

   • Reference Venues are sources of price data from external exchanges. These parsed order books fuel the strategies by providing market context and liquidity information.
   • Examples include kraken.ts, which connects to Kraken for market data, and odos.ts for other reference venues.

Folder Structure:

• src/config
  Configuration files for tokens and exchange-specific settings.

• src/connectors
  Contains connectors to various exchanges such as Rubicon.

• src/referenceVenues
  Parsed order books from different venues such as Kraken and ODOS.

• src/strategies
  Strategies implementing different trading logic using connectors and reference venues.

• src/types
  TypeScript definitions for the core data structures used across the project.

• src/tests
  Testing framework with unit and integration tests for each strategy and connector.

Running Strategies

Detailed instructions on how to run the different strategies can be found in the strategies/README.md. Each strategy is configured to connect to the necessary exchanges, execute the trading logic, and handle live updates of market data.

Cloud Configuration

Rubi Bots are best run in the cloud to earn for you while you sleep. Below is a guide on how to set up the bot using Heroku. For privacy and security, it's highly recommended that you use a private fork of this repository, especially if you plan to add sensitive configuration files or environment variables such as API keys.

Public vs Private Forks

• Public Fork: The instructions below are suitable for a public fork of this repository. However, be very cautious: if your Procfile or configuration files contain sensitive information such as API keys, you should not use a public fork. This could expose your keys to the public and result in security issues.

• Private Fork: It’s strongly recommended to keep a private fork of this repository to ensure sensitive information like API keys or strategy configurations remain secure. Below are instructions on how to create and maintain a private fork that works seamlessly with Heroku.

Instructions for Private Fork (Recommended)

1. Make a private fork of this repository:

   • Since GitHub does not directly support creating private forks of public repositories, you can achieve this by:

     1. Cloning this public repository to your local machine:

        git clone https://github.com/RubiconDeFi/rubi-bots-ts.git

     2. Creating a new private repository in your GitHub account.
     3. Pushing your local copy to the new private repository:

        git remote set-url origin https://github.com/your-username/rubi-bots-ts-private.git
        git push -u origin main

   • Maintaining updates from the public repository: After you have your private fork, you can keep it updated with changes from the original public repository by setting the public repository as an upstream remote:

     git remote add upstream https://github.com/RubiconDeFi/rubi-bots-ts.git

     • To fetch and merge updates from the public repository, run the following commands:

       git fetch upstream
       git merge upstream/main
       git push origin main

   This way, your private fork will stay up-to-date with the latest changes from the public repository while keeping your custom configurations and API keys secure.

2. Add a Procfile:

   • In your private fork, add a Procfile to the root of your repository. The Procfile defines how your Heroku app runs. You can find a Procfile example in this repository to guide you.
   • Important: Do not hard-code sensitive information, such as API keys, in your Procfile or any files committed to the repo.

3. Configure your strategy:

   • In your Procfile, specify the command to run your strategy (for example, node src/strategies/ammOutbid.ts).

4. Create a new Heroku app:

   • In Heroku, create a new app and connect it to your private repository.

5. Configure environment variables in Heroku:

   • Go to the Heroku app's dashboard, and under the Settings tab, configure all required .env variables. These should include API keys, secret tokens, and other sensitive information.
   • Never commit API keys or sensitive data to your repository. Always use Heroku’s environment variables feature for secure management of sensitive data.

6. Deploy your bot:

   • Use Heroku's automatic deploy feature or manually trigger a deployment from your private repository.
   • You can monitor logs and execution from the Heroku dashboard to ensure your bot is running correctly.

Instructions for Public Fork (Use with Caution)

1. Make a public fork of this repository (not recommended if you’re using sensitive configurations).
2. Add a Procfile in the root of your fork. Please see the Procfile example in this repository for guidance.
3. Do not commit any API keys or sensitive information to your repository. Use Heroku’s environment variables instead.
4. Create a new Heroku app, link it to your public fork, and deploy your bot.

Security Warning: Never commit sensitive information like API keys or secret tokens to a public repository. Always store such data in Heroku's environment variables or another secure configuration system.
