Omniston Guide (Python)

Learn how to create a Python-based terminal client for swapping tokens on TON blockchain using Omniston protocol. Covers wallet setup, API integration, and cross-DEX swaps on STON.fi and DeDust.

This guide will walk you through creating a terminal-based token swap client using the Omniston protocol to swap assets across different DEXes (STON.fi V1, STON.fi V2, DeDust, etc.). Instead of a web UI and TonConnect, we'll use a local TON wallet (created with tonsdk) and submit transactions via Toncenter. The guide is beginner‑friendly and assumes minimal TON experience.

Note: This quickstart intentionally uses a single-file CLI for clarity. You can later modularize or package it (see Advanced Example App).

Note: For reliability when broadcasting transactions, set a TONCENTER_API_KEY (see Configure Assets & Network).

1. Introduction

In this quickstart, you'll build a minimal Python CLI that can:

• Create or reuse a local TON wallet (via tonsdk).

• Load network and token settings from .env and swap_config.json.

• Request an RFQ (quote) from Omniston over WebSockets.

• Build a transfer using Omniston's transaction builder.

• Submit the transaction to Toncenter to execute the swap.

You'll use:

• tonsdk – wallet generation, signing, and BOCs.

• websockets – to communicate with Omniston.

• python-dotenv – to load environment variables.

• Toncenter API – to broadcast the signed transaction.

---

2. Setting Up the Project

2.1 Create the Workspace

mkdir omniston-python
cd omniston-python

2.2 Create the Virtual Environment

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate        # macOS/Linux
# .venv\\Scripts\\Activate.ps1  # Windows PowerShell

2.3 Install Dependencies

1. Create requirements.txt and add:

   python-dotenv>=1.0,<2
   tonsdk>=1.0.13
   websockets>=11,<13

2. Install the packages:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Create a single-file CLI script:

   touch omniston_cli.py

---

3. Wallet Setup

The CLI persists a wallet in data/wallet.json and prints a mnemonic once—store it securely.

3.1 Generate or Load a Wallet

In this step you'll paste core definitions and the wallet helpers (kept at the top of omniston_cli.py).

Tip: The code blocks below are verbatim from the working implementation; paste them as-is and in the given order.

3.2 Fund and Deploy the Wallet

You must fund the address and deploy the wallet contract before sending a swap. The helpers below take care of querying Toncenter and submitting the init BOC when needed.

---

4. Configure Assets & Network

You'll define RPC endpoints and default swap pair locally.

4.1 Create the .env file

Create .env at the project root:

TONCENTER_API_URL=https://toncenter.com/api/v2
TONCENTER_API_KEY=put-your-api-key-here
OMNISTON_WS_URL=wss://omni-ws.ston.fi

Getting a Toncenter API Key: Using the API without an API key is limited to 1 request per second. To get higher rate limits:

1. Contact @toncenter on Telegram

2. Request an API key for your project

3. Copy the key and paste it into your .env file

TONCENTER_API_KEY is required if you want to execute transactions. Without it, you'll face rate limiting issues and transaction broadcasting will fail.

4.2 Define the swap_config.json

Create swap_config.json:

{
  "from_token_address": "EQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM9c",
  "from_token_decimals": 9,
  "to_token_address": "EQA2kCVNwVsil2EM2mB0SkXytxCqQjS4mttjDpnXmwG9T6bO",
  "to_token_decimals": 9,
  "amount": "0.01",
  "max_slippage_bps": 500,
  "max_outgoing_messages": 4,
  "gasless_mode": "GASLESS_SETTLEMENT_POSSIBLE",
  "flexible_referrer_fee": false
}

Common token addresses:

• Native TON: EQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM9c

• USDT: EQCxE6mUtQJKFnGfaROTKOt1lZbDiiX1kCixRv7Nw2Id_sDs

• STON: EQA2kCVNwVsil2EM2mB0SkXytxCqQjS4mttjDpnXmwG9T6bO

gasless_mode accepts "GASLESS_SETTLEMENT_UNSPECIFIED", "GASLESS_SETTLEMENT_POSSIBLE", "GASLESS_SETTLEMENT_REQUIRED", or their numeric equivalents 0/1/2.

flexible_referrer_fee lets Omniston lower the actual referrer fee below referrer_fee_bps when a resolver can offer a better price. Leave it false to enforce the exact fee.

6. Requesting a Quote

Run the CLI and follow the prompt:

python omniston_cli.py

When you accept "Request a quote now?", the CLI will:

• Build a request using your configured pair and amount.

• Connect to Omniston over WebSockets (v1beta7.quote).

• Print a human‑readable summary (e.g., Swap 0.01 -> 12.34).

If a quote can't be produced in time (default: ~15s), you'll see a timeout or error message.

---

7. Building a Transaction & Sending It

After you approve the quote summary, the CLI:

1. Calls Omniston's transaction builder (v1beta7.transaction.build_transfer) to obtain TON messages.

2. Signs an external message with your wallet.

3. Submits the resulting BOC to Toncenter.

Important: Automatic submission requires TONCENTER_API_KEY in .env. Without it, the CLI skips broadcast.

---

8. Testing Your Swap

1. Activate your virtual environment and ensure .env and swap_config.json exist.

2. Fund your wallet and run:

   python omniston_cli.py

3. Confirm:

   • Wallet is created/loaded and balance printed.

   • Deployment completes (or is already deployed).

   • A quote is received and summarized.

   • On approval, the transaction is submitted and you see "Swap submitted.".

   • Check your wallet on a TON explorer to confirm the swap.

If something fails, the CLI prints a clear message (e.g., timeout, missing API key, seqno issue).

---

9. Conclusion

You now have a minimal Python CLI that:

• Generates or reuses a TON wallet.

• Loads local configuration for assets and network.

• Requests real‑time quotes from Omniston.

• Builds and submits the swap via Toncenter.

Ideas to extend:

• Custom CLI flags (amount/pair) with argparse.

• Better error reporting and retry/backoff.

• Explorer links after submission.

• Trade tracking with periodic status checks.

10. Live Demo

Run the Omniston Python CLI directly in your browser via Replit:

• Open the project in Replit

• Fork to your account to save changes

• Add a TONCENTER_API_KEY in Replit Secrets

• Run python omniston_cli.py in the Replit shell

• Explore and modify the code freely

11. Using AI Agents for Automated Implementation

For developers looking to accelerate their development process, you can leverage AI coding agents to automatically implement the Omniston swap functionality described in this guide. While we showcase Gemini CLI in our example (due to its generous free tier), you can use any AI coding assistant such as Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor Agent, or similar tools.

11.1 Why AI Agents?

Modern AI coding agents can:

• Understand complex documentation and implement complete features

• Set up project structure and dependencies automatically

• Handle common configuration and setup errors

• Provide working implementations in minutes instead of hours

11.2 Setting Up with Gemini CLI (Example)

We'll demonstrate with Gemini CLI, but the approach works with any AI agent that can read documentation and execute commands.

11.2.1 Installing Gemini CLI

1. Install the Gemini CLI by following the instructions at: https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli

2. Authenticate with your Google account when prompted. The free tier includes:

   • 60 model requests per minute

   • 1,000 model requests per day

11.2.2 Setting Up the Implementation Guide

1. Download the appropriate guide file from the gist: https://gist.github.com/mrruby/a6fba69716fc0d5b8eaafd43998b36c0

   • For Claude Code: Download AGENTS.md and rename it to CLAUDE.md

   • For other AI agents (Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, etc.): Use AGENTS.md as-is

2. Create a new directory for your project and place the guide file inside it:

   mkdir my-omniston-swap
   cd my-omniston-swap
   # Place CLAUDE.md (for Claude Code) or AGENTS.md (for other agents) here

11.2.3 Running the Automated Implementation

1. From within your project directory, run the Gemini CLI:

   gemini

2. When the CLI interface opens, type:

   Implement Omniston swap according to the Omniston Quickstart Guide in AGENTS.md

3. The AI agent will:

   • Ask for permission to use commands like python3, pip, etc.

   • Automatically create the project structure

   • Install all necessary dependencies

   • Implement the complete swap functionality

   • Set up configuration files

4. Important: After the implementation completes, you must manually configure your Toncenter API key:

   • Go to TON Center and get your API key

   • Create a .env file in the root of your project

   • Add your API key: TONCENTER_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

   • AI agents cannot handle this step as it requires your personal API credentials

5. If any errors occur during the process:

   • Simply paste the error message back to the AI agent

   • It will analyze and fix the issue automatically

   • In most cases, the implementation completes successfully in one shot

11.3 Using Other AI Agents

The same approach works with other AI coding assistants:

• Claude Code: Download AGENTS.md and rename it to CLAUDE.md, then place it in your project and ask Claude Code to implement the guide

• GitHub Copilot: Use the AGENTS.md file as-is, open the guide in your editor and use Copilot Chat to implement step by step

• Cursor Agent: Use the AGENTS.md file as-is, load the documentation and request full implementation via Cursor's agent mode

• Custom Tools: Any AI assistant with file access and command execution capabilities can follow the guide using the AGENTS.md file

Note: The AGENTS.md file contains instructions compatible with all AI agents (Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, etc.). However, Claude Code requires the file to be named CLAUDE.md to be automatically recognized, so you must rename AGENTS.md to CLAUDE.md when using Claude Code.

11.4 Benefits of Using AI Agents

• Speed: Get a working implementation in minutes instead of hours

• Accuracy: AI agents follow the quickstart guide precisely

• Error Handling: Automatically resolve most common setup issues

• Learning Tool: Watch how the implementation unfolds step by step

• Customization: After the initial setup, you can modify the generated code to fit your specific needs

• Cost-Effective: Many AI coding tools offer free tiers (like Gemini CLI) or are included in existing subscriptions

11.5 Best Practices

1. Review the Code: Always review AI-generated code before using it in production

2. Understand the Flow: Use the generated code as a learning tool to understand the Omniston protocol

3. Customize: Adapt the generated code to your specific requirements

4. Test Thoroughly: Test the implementation with small amounts before processing larger transactions

5. Security: Never commit API keys or mnemonics to version control

This approach is particularly useful for:

• Developers new to the TON ecosystem

• Quick prototyping and proof-of-concepts

• Learning by example with a working implementation

• Avoiding common setup pitfalls and configuration errors

• Exploring different implementation approaches rapidly
