Clawhub Ostium With Cai

Ostium with CAI (Route B)

CAI E-mode lets an agent open and close Ostium RWA perpetuals on Arbitrum using the custodial wallet. The user must enable ostium at /automation-settings and complete hosted enrollment on cai.com /act. No separate Ostium website signup is required for CAI-managed trading.

When to Use

• "Trade Ostium with my CAI wallet"
• "Open an Ostium RWA perp on Arbitrum"
• "Enable Ostium automation for my agent"
• "Check Ostium order status after my trade"

Route B task flow (preferred)

1. User enables ostium at https://cai.com/automation-settings.
2. platform_readiness with platform_slug=ostium. If ready_to_trade is false, read blocking_reasons (e.g. OSTIUM_APPROVE_REQUIRED) and guide the user.
3. If not enrolled: platform_automation_enroll with platform_slug=ostium → user opens url on /act and confirms USDC approve (ostium_arb_v1).
4. Ensure custodial Arbitrum USDC (+ gas) via wallet_balances or deposit flows if needed.
5. Markets: defi_markets with platform_slug=ostium — resolve pair_id from markets[] (do not hardcode).
6. Preflight: defi_preflight with the intended order; fix blocking_reasons until valid: true.
7. Place: defi_trade example body:
   • platform_slug: ostium
   • action: place
   • collateral_amount, pair_id, leverage, buy, price, order_type, intent_usd
8. Status (primary): poll defi_order_status with returned order_id until is_terminal: true.
9. Status (secondary): defi_orders with ?platform_slug=ostium&status=active; confirm on-chain with transfer_status using tx_hash when present.
10. Close: defi_trade with action: close, optional trade_index (omit when exactly one matching long), symbol / pair_id, close_mode=full.
11. Sell guard: place + buy=false without long → preflight NO_POSITION_TO_CLOSE — use action=close instead.

Legacy aliases (deprecated)

• ostium_open_trade / ostium_close_trade — do not use in new flows.

Honesty

• gap_id: GAP_DEFI_OSTIUM_V1, GAP_DEFI_AUTOMATION_V1 — partial_live until staging/production smokes pass.
• ostium must be in server DEFI_ENABLED_PLATFORMS.
• v1 uses Self+Self EVM signing only (no gasless delegate in v1).
• Do not expose raw calldata or generic wallet signing.
