name: Bankr x402 SDK - Token Swaps
description: This skill should be used when the user asks to "swap tokens", "exchange ETH for USDC", "buy DEGEN", "sell tokens", "swap on Base", "trade crypto", "convert ETH to WETH", "exchange tokens", "token swap code", "0x routing", or any token swap operation. Also use for questions about ERC20 approvals, allowanceTarget, swap transaction execution, or building swap transactions with the Bankr SDK.
version: 1.1.0

# SDK Token Swaps
Build and execute token swaps with AI-powered 0x routing.
## Prompt Patterns
| Pattern | Example |
|---------|---------|
| Amount-based | "Swap 0.1 ETH to USDC" |
| Value-based | "Buy $100 worth of DEGEN" |
| Percentage | "Swap 50% of my ETH to USDC" |
| Sell all | "Sell all my DEGEN" |
| Chain-specific | "Swap ETH to USDC on Polygon" |
```
# Amount Swaps
"Swap 0.1 ETH to USDC"
"Exchange 100 USDC for WETH"
"Swap 1000 DEGEN to ETH"
# Value Swaps
"Buy $100 worth of DEGEN"
"Purchase $50 of ETH"
# Percentage Swaps
"Swap 50% of my ETH to USDC"
"Sell 25% of my DEGEN"
# Chain-Specific
"Swap 0.1 ETH to USDC on Base"
"Exchange 100 USDC for WETH on Ethereum"
```
## ERC20 Approval Handling
For ERC20 swaps (selling tokens other than ETH), approval is required before the swap.
```typescript
const result = await client.promptAndWait({
prompt: "Swap 100 USDC to WETH",
});
const swapTx = result.transactions?.find(tx => tx.type === "swap");
// Check if approval is needed
if (swapTx?.metadata.approvalRequired) {
// Execute pre-built approval transaction first
await wallet.sendTransaction(swapTx.metadata.approvalTx);
}
// Then execute the swap
await wallet.sendTransaction(swapTx.metadata.transaction);
```
## Approval Fields
| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `approvalRequired` | Whether approval needed before swap |
| `approvalTx` | Pre-built approval transaction (ready to send) |
| `allowanceTarget` | 0x AllowanceHolder address (for manual approval) |
## Usage
```typescript
import { BankrClient } from "@bankr/sdk";
const client = new BankrClient({
privateKey: process.env.BANKR_PRIVATE_KEY as `0x${string}`,
});
const result = await client.promptAndWait({
prompt: "Swap 0.1 ETH to USDC on Base",
});
if (result.status === "completed" && result.transactions?.length) {
const tx = result.transactions[0].metadata.transaction;
await wallet.sendTransaction(tx);
}
```
## Supported Chains
| Chain | Native Token | Default |
|-------|-------------|---------|
| Base | ETH | Yes |
| Ethereum | ETH | No |
| Polygon | MATIC | No |
| Solana | SOL | No |

This skill helps build and execute token swaps using Bankr's SDK with AI-powered 0x routing. It covers amount-, value-, percentage-, and chain-specific swap intents and produces ready-to-send transactions, including ERC20 approval handling when required. Use it to generate swap transactions across supported chains like Base, Ethereum, Polygon, and Solana.
The skill parses natural-language swap intents (amount, dollar value, percentage, or sell-all) and constructs routed swap transactions via 0x. For ERC20 sell operations it flags approval requirements and provides pre-built approvalTx and allowanceTarget so you can approve the token spender before executing the swap. It returns transaction objects with metadata you can send via your wallet or further customize.
How do I know if an approval is required?
Check swapTx.metadata.approvalRequired; if true, send the provided approvalTx before the swap transaction.
What is allowanceTarget?
allowanceTarget is the 0x AllowanceHolder address you can use for manual ERC20 approve calls if you prefer to build your own approval transaction.
Which chains are supported?
Supported chains include Base (default), Ethereum, Polygon, and Solana; specify the chain in your prompt for non-default networks.
