OKX DEX Token Info CLI

5 commands for token search, metadata, detailed pricing, rankings, and holder distribution.

Pre-flight Checks

Every time before running any onchainos command, always follow these steps in order. Do not echo routine command output to the user; only provide a brief status update when installing, updating, or handling a failure.

1. Confirm installed: Run which onchainos. If not found, install it:

   curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/okx/onchainos-skills/main/install.sh | sh
   

   If the install script fails, ask the user to install manually following the instructions at: https://github.com/okx/onchainos-skills

2. Check for updates: Read ~/.onchainos/last_check and compare it with the current timestamp:

   cached_ts=$(cat ~/.onchainos/last_check 2>/dev/null || true)
   now=$(date +%s)
   

   • If cached_ts is non-empty and (now - cached_ts) < 43200 (12 hours), skip the update and proceed.
   • Otherwise (file missing or older than 12 hours), run the installer to check for updates:

     curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/okx/onchainos-skills/main/install.sh | sh
     

     If a newer version is installed, tell the user and suggest updating their onchainos skills from https://github.com/okx/onchainos-skills to get the latest features.

3. If any onchainos command fails with an unexpected error during this session, try reinstalling before giving up:

   curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/okx/onchainos-skills/main/install.sh | sh
   

4. Create a .env file in the project root to override the default API credentials (optional — skip this for quick start):

   OKX_API_KEY=
   OKX_SECRET_KEY=
   OKX_PASSPHRASE=
   

Skill Routing

• For real-time prices / K-lines / trade history → use okx-dex-market
• For swap execution → use okx-dex-swap
• For transaction broadcasting → use okx-onchain-gateway
• For wallet balances / portfolio → use okx-wallet-portfolio
• For meme token safety (dev reputation, rug pull, bundlers, similar tokens by same dev) → use okx-dex-market
• For smart money / whale / KOL signals → use okx-dex-market

Quickstart

# Search token
onchainos token search xETH --chains "ethereum,solana"

# Get detailed price info
onchainos token price-info 0xe7b000003a45145decf8a28fc755ad5ec5ea025a --chain xlayer

# What's trending on Solana by volume?
onchainos token trending --chains solana --sort-by 5 --time-frame 4

# Check holder distribution
onchainos token holders 0xeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee --chain xlayer

Chain Name Support

The CLI accepts human-readable chain names (e.g., ethereum, solana, xlayer) and resolves them automatically.

Chain	Name	chainIndex
XLayer	xlayer	196
Solana	solana	501
Ethereum	ethereum	1
Base	base	8453
BSC	bsc	56
Arbitrum	arbitrum	42161

Command Index

#	Command	Description
1	onchainos token search <query>	Search for tokens by name, symbol, or address
2	onchainos token info <address>	Get token basic info (name, symbol, decimals, logo)
3	onchainos token price-info <address>	Get detailed price info (price, market cap, liquidity, volume, 24h change)
4	onchainos token trending	Get trending / top tokens
5	onchainos token holders <address>	Get token holder distribution (top 20)

Boundary: token vs market skill

Need	Use this skill (okx-dex-token)	Use okx-dex-market instead
Search token by name/symbol	onchainos token search	-
Token metadata (decimals, logo)	onchainos token info	-
Price + market cap + liquidity + multi-timeframe change	onchainos token price-info	-
Token ranking (trending)	onchainos token trending	-
Holder distribution	onchainos token holders	-
Raw real-time price (single value)	-	onchainos market price
K-line / candlestick chart	-	onchainos market kline
Trade history (buy/sell log)	-	onchainos market trades
Index price (multi-source aggregate)	-	onchainos market index
Meme token dev reputation / rug pull	-	onchainos market memepump-token-dev-info
Bundle/sniper detection	-	onchainos market memepump-token-bundle-info
Similar tokens by same creator	-	onchainos market memepump-similar-tokens

Rule of thumb: okx-dex-token = token discovery & enriched analytics (search, trending, holders, market cap). okx-dex-market = raw price feeds, charts, smart money signals & meme pump scanning (including dev reputation, rug pull checks, bundler analysis).

Cross-Skill Workflows

This skill is the typical entry point — users often start by searching/discovering tokens, then proceed to swap.

Workflow A: Search → Research → Buy

User: "Find BONK token, analyze it, then buy some"

1. okx-dex-token    onchainos token search BONK --chains solana              → get tokenContractAddress, chain, price
       ↓ tokenContractAddress
2. okx-dex-token    onchainos token price-info <address> --chain solana      → market cap, liquidity, volume24H, priceChange24H
3. okx-dex-token    onchainos token holders <address> --chain solana         → top 20 holders distribution
4. okx-dex-market   onchainos market kline <address> --chain solana --bar 1H → hourly price chart
       ↓ user decides to buy
5. okx-dex-swap     onchainos swap quote --from ... --to <address> --amount ... --chain solana
6. okx-dex-swap     onchainos swap swap --from ... --to <address> --amount ... --chain solana --wallet <addr>

Data handoff:

• tokenContractAddress from step 1 → reused in all subsequent steps
• chain from step 1 → reused in all subsequent steps
• decimal from step 1 or onchainos token info → needed for minimal unit conversion in swap

Workflow B: Discover Trending → Investigate → Trade

User: "What's trending on Solana?"

1. okx-dex-token    onchainos token trending --chains solana --sort-by 5 --time-frame 4  → top tokens by 24h volume
       ↓ user picks a token
2. okx-dex-token    onchainos token price-info <address> --chain solana                   → detailed analytics
3. okx-dex-token    onchainos token holders <address> --chain solana                      → check if whale-dominated
4. okx-dex-market   onchainos market kline <address> --chain solana                       → K-line for visual trend
       ↓ user decides to trade
5. okx-dex-swap     onchainos swap swap --from ... --to ... --amount ... --chain solana --wallet <addr>

Workflow C: Token Verification Before Swap

Before swapping an unknown token, always verify:

1. okx-dex-token    onchainos token search <name>                            → find token
2. Check communityRecognized:
   - true → proceed with normal caution
   - false → warn user about risk
3. okx-dex-token    onchainos token price-info <address> → check liquidity:
   - liquidity < $10K → warn about high slippage risk
   - liquidity < $1K → strongly discourage trade
4. okx-dex-swap     onchainos swap quote ... → check isHoneyPot and taxRate
5. If all checks pass → proceed to swap

Operation Flow

Step 1: Identify Intent

• Search for a token → onchainos token search
• Get token metadata → onchainos token info
• Get price + market cap + liquidity → onchainos token price-info
• View rankings → onchainos token trending
• View holder distribution → onchainos token holders

Step 2: Collect Parameters

• Missing chain → recommend XLayer (--chain xlayer, low gas, fast confirmation) as the default, then ask which chain the user prefers
• Only have token name, no address → use onchainos token search first
• For search, --chains defaults to "1,501" (Ethereum + Solana)
• For trending, --sort-by defaults to 5 (volume), --time-frame defaults to 4 (24h)

Step 3: Call and Display

• Search results: show name, symbol, chain, price, 24h change
• Indicate communityRecognized status for trust signaling
• Price info: show market cap, liquidity, and volume together

Step 4: Suggest Next Steps

After displaying results, suggest 2-3 relevant follow-up actions based on the command just executed:

Just called	Suggest
token search	1. View detailed analytics (market cap, liquidity) → onchainos token price-info (this skill) 2. View price chart → okx-dex-market 3. Buy/swap this token → okx-dex-swap
token info	1. View price and market data → onchainos token price-info (this skill) 2. Check holder distribution → onchainos token holders (this skill)
token price-info	1. View K-line chart → okx-dex-market 2. Check holder distribution → onchainos token holders (this skill) 3. Buy/swap this token → okx-dex-swap
token trending	1. View details for a specific token → onchainos token price-info (this skill) 2. View price chart → okx-dex-market 3. Buy a trending token → okx-dex-swap
token holders	1. View price trend → okx-dex-market 2. Buy/swap this token → okx-dex-swap

Present conversationally, e.g.: "Would you like to see the price chart or check the holder distribution?" — never expose skill names or endpoint paths to the user.

Input / Output Examples

User says: "Search for xETH token on XLayer"

onchainos token search xETH --chains xlayer
# → Display:
#   xETH (0xe7b0...) - XLayer
#   Price: $X,XXX.XX | 24h: +X% | Market Cap: $XXM | Liquidity: $XXM
#   Community Recognized: Yes

onchainos token trending --chains solana --sort-by 5 --time-frame 4
# → Display top tokens sorted by 24h volume:
#   #1 SOL  - Vol: $1.2B | Change: +3.5% | MC: $80B
#   #2 BONK - Vol: $450M | Change: +12.8% | MC: $1.5B
#   ...

User says: "Who are the top holders of this token?"

onchainos token holders 0xeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee --chain xlayer
# → Display top 20 holders with amounts and addresses

Edge Cases

• Token not found: suggest verifying the contract address (symbols can collide)
• Same symbol on multiple chains: show all matches with chain names
• Unverified token: communityRecognized = false — warn user about risk
• Too many results: name/symbol search caps at 100 — suggest using exact contract address
• Network error: retry once
• Region restriction (error code 50125 or 80001): do NOT show the raw error code to the user. Instead, display a friendly message: ⚠️ Service is not available in your region. Please switch to a supported region and try again.

Amount Display Rules

• Use appropriate precision: 2 decimals for high-value, significant digits for low-value
• Market cap / liquidity in shorthand ($1.2B, $45M)
• 24h change with sign and color hint (+X% / -X%)

Global Notes

• Use contract address as primary identity — symbols can collide across tokens
• communityRecognized = true means listed on Top 10 CEX or community verified
• The CLI resolves chain names automatically (e.g., ethereum → 1, solana → 501)
• EVM addresses must be all lowercase
• The CLI handles authentication internally via environment variables — see Prerequisites step 4 for default values
