General Rules

⚠️ STOP — You MUST read and strictly follow the shared runtime rules before proceeding. Do NOT select or call any tool until all rules are read. These rules have the highest priority. → Read gate-runtime-rules.md → Also read info-news-runtime-rules.md for gate-info / gate-news-specific rules (tool degradation, report standards, security, routing degradation, and per-skill version checks when scripts/ is present).

• Only call MCP tools explicitly listed in this skill. Tools not documented here must NOT be called, even if they exist in the MCP server.

The DeFi Ecosystem Analysis Skill. Routes to different sub-scenarios based on user intent (overview / single platform / yield / stablecoins / bridges / reserves / liquidation), each calling one or more MCP tools.

Trigger Scenarios: User asks about DeFi protocols, TVL, yield rates, stablecoins, cross-chain bridges, exchange reserves, liquidation distribution, etc.

Per-skill updates: This skill may include scripts/update-skill.sh and, in full source trees, scripts/update-skill.ps1 for optional maintenance checks against the official Gate Skills repository. The shared policy is defined in info-news-runtime-rules.md.

Maintenance flow:

• Use check only when you need to compare the installed skill with the official repo.
• In interactive sessions, check never rewrites files.
• If update_available, ask the user before apply.
• If update scripts are unavailable or the version check cannot run, continue with the current installed version.
• apply rewrites only this skill's local directory under the active skills root.
• Do not download replacement updater scripts during the session; use the official repo for manual repair when needed.

Execution Workflow

Step 0: Multi-Dimension Intent Check

• If the query is about DeFi/platform metrics, proceed with this Skill.
• If the query also involves coin fundamentals, technicals, or news beyond DeFi scope, route to gate-info-research (if available).

Step 1: Intent Recognition & Parameter Extraction

Extract from user input:

• platform_name (optional): Protocol name (e.g., Uniswap, Aave, Lido)
• symbol (optional): Token/stablecoin symbol (e.g., USDC, USDT, ETH)
• chain (optional): Blockchain filter (e.g., Ethereum, Arbitrum)
• exchange (optional): Exchange name (e.g., Binance, OKX)

Step 2: Call MCP Tools by Sub-scenario

Sub-scenario A: DeFi Overview

| Step | MCP Tool | Parameters | Retrieved Data | Parallel | |------|----------|------------|----------------|----------| | 1a | info_platformmetrics_get_defi_overview | category="all" | Total TVL, volume, fees across DeFi/CEX/DEX | Yes | | 1b | info_platformmetrics_search_platforms | sort_by="tvl", limit=10 | Top 10 platforms by TVL | Yes |

Sub-scenario B: Platform Detail

| Step | MCP Tool | Parameters | Retrieved Data | Parallel | |------|----------|------------|----------------|----------| | 1a | info_platformmetrics_get_platform_info | platform_name={name}, scope="full" | Full platform metrics (TVL, volume, fees, chains) | Yes | | 1b | info_platformmetrics_get_platform_history | platform_name={name}, metrics=["tvl","volume"] | Historical trend | Yes | | 1c | info_coin_get_coin_info | query={token_symbol} | Platform's native token info | Yes |

Sub-scenario C: Yield Pools

| Step | MCP Tool | Parameters | Retrieved Data | |------|----------|------------|----------------| | 1 | info_platformmetrics_get_yield_pools | project={name}, chain={chain}, symbol={symbol}, sort_by="apy", limit=20 | Yield pool rankings with APY, TVL |

Sub-scenario D: Stablecoins

| Step | MCP Tool | Parameters | Retrieved Data | |------|----------|------------|----------------| | 1 | info_platformmetrics_get_stablecoin_info | symbol={symbol}, chain={chain}, limit=10 | Stablecoin ranking or single coin detail with chain distribution |

Sub-scenario E: Bridges

| Step | MCP Tool | Parameters | Retrieved Data | |------|----------|------------|----------------| | 1 | info_platformmetrics_get_bridge_metrics | bridge_name={name}, chain={chain} | Bridge ranking or single bridge chain breakdown |

Sub-scenario F: Exchange Reserves

| Step | MCP Tool | Parameters | Retrieved Data | |------|----------|------------|----------------| | 1 | info_platformmetrics_get_exchange_reserves | exchange={exchange}, asset={asset} | Exchange on-chain reserves (BTC, ETH, etc.) |

Sub-scenario G: Liquidation Heatmap

| Step | MCP Tool | Parameters | Retrieved Data | |------|----------|------------|----------------| | 1 | info_platformmetrics_get_liquidation_heatmap | symbol={symbol}, exchange={exchange} | Liquidation density by price range |

Step 3: LLM Aggregation

Generate sub-scenario-specific analysis. For overview, provide market context; for detail, provide competitive positioning; for yield, highlight risk/reward.

Step 4: Progressive Loading (Bridges & Stablecoins)

For Bridges and Stablecoins, use a list-first, detail-on-demand pattern:

1. First call (no bridge_name / narrow symbol): ranking list — summary without full chain breakdown.
2. Second call (user follow-up): specific bridge_name or symbol — full chain-level details.

Decision Logic

| Condition | Assessment / next step | |-----------|-------------------------| | Generic DeFi market, TVL leaderboard, or “top protocols” | Sub-scenario A (Overview) | | User names a specific protocol (Uniswap, Aave, ...) | Sub-scenario B (Platform detail) | | Yield, APY, lending, “where to earn” | Sub-scenario C (Yield pools) | | Stablecoins, peg, circulation, ranking | Sub-scenario D; use progressive loading per Step 4 | | Bridges, cross-chain TVL, bridge volume | Sub-scenario E; list-first, detail on follow-up | | Exchange reserves, PoR, “exchange BTC holdings” | Sub-scenario F | | Liquidations, heatmap, density by price | Sub-scenario G | | Ambiguous intent | Ask one clarifying question or default to A |

Error Handling

| Error Type | Handling | |------------|----------| | Platform name not found | Suggest similar platform names; ask user to verify | | Single Tool fails | Skip that section; note "Data temporarily unavailable" | | All Tools fail | Return error; suggest user try again later | | No yield pools match criteria | Broaden search (remove chain/symbol filter); inform user | | Exchange not supported | List supported exchanges; ask user to choose another | | Symbol not recognized | Try matching via info_coin_get_coin_info; ask user if unclear |

Cross-Skill Routing

| User Follow-up Intent | Route To | |-----------------------|----------| | "Analyze the token" | gate-info-coinanalysis | | "Technical analysis of the token" | gate-info-trendanalysis | | "Is this protocol safe?" | gate-info-riskcheck | | "On-chain data for the token" | gate-info-tokenonchain | | "Any news about this protocol?" | gate-news-briefing | | "How does macro affect DeFi?" | gate-info-macroimpact | | "How's the market overall?" | gate-info-marketoverview |

Safety Rules

1. No yield guarantees: APY/yield data is historical and subject to change; state clearly that past rates do not guarantee future returns.
2. Smart contract risk: When showing yield pools or protocols, note that DeFi carries smart contract risk.
3. No endorsement: Listing a protocol does not constitute an endorsement; maintain neutrality.
4. Reserve disclaimers: Exchange reserve data is on-chain observable but may not reflect total assets.
5. Liquidation data: Liquidation heatmaps show estimated levels, not guaranteed triggers.
6. Data transparency: Label data source, update frequency, and known limitations.
7. Age & eligibility: Intended for users aged 18 or above with full civil capacity in their jurisdiction.
8. Data flow: The host agent processes user prompts; this skill directs read-only Gate-Info MCP tools listed above. The LLM formats answers from tool results. Aside from those MCP calls and the documented skill-update flow (GitHub URLs in General Rules and info-news-runtime-rules.md), this skill does not invoke additional third-party data services.
