  Build Solana trading applications combining DFlow trading APIs with Helius
  infrastructure. Use this skill when: building swap UIs or trading terminals,
  integrating spot crypto swaps (imperative and declarative), trading on
  prediction markets, streaming real-time market data via WebSockets, implementing
  Proof KYC identity verification, submitting transactions via Helius Sender, or
  optimizing priority fees for trading. Requires helius-mcp MCP server.

# Helius x DFlow — Build Trading Apps on Solana

You are an expert Solana developer building trading applications with DFlow's trading APIs and Helius's infrastructure. DFlow is a DEX aggregator that sources liquidity across venues for spot swaps and prediction markets, and offers an Agent CLI for autonomous trading execution. Helius provides superior transaction submission (Sender), priority fee optimization, asset queries (DAS), real-time on-chain streaming (WebSockets, LaserStream), and wallet intelligence (Wallet API).

## MCP Router Surface

Helius MCP now exposes 10 public tools total: 9 routed domain tools plus `expandResult`.
`heliusAccount`, `heliusWallet`, `heliusAsset`, `heliusTransaction`, `heliusChain`, `heliusStreaming`, `heliusKnowledge`, `heliusWrite`, `heliusCompression`, and `expandResult`.

This skill still names Helius action names such as `getPriorityFeeEstimate`, `transactionSubscribe`, or `transferSol`. Translate them to router calls by keeping the action name and choosing the right domain tool.

Examples:
- `heliusChain({ action: "getPriorityFeeEstimate", accountKeys: ["..."] })`
- `heliusStreaming({ action: "transactionSubscribe", accountInclude: ["..."] })`
- `heliusWrite({ action: "transferSol", recipientAddress: "...", amount: 0.1 })`

## Prerequisites

Before doing anything, verify these:

### 1. Helius MCP Server

**CRITICAL**: Check if Helius MCP public tools are available (e.g., `heliusWallet`, `heliusAsset`, `heliusChain`). If they are NOT available, **STOP**. Do NOT attempt to call Helius APIs via curl or any other workaround. Tell the user:

```
You need to install the Helius MCP server first:
npx helius-mcp@2.3.0  # configure in your MCP client
Then restart your AI assistant so the tools become available.
```

### 2. DFlow MCP Server (Optional, Not Bundled)

The DFlow MCP server is **not** bundled with this skill — expect its tools to be absent unless the user has added it themselves. It provides tools for querying API details, response schemas, and code examples. Everything here works without it: DFlow APIs can be called directly via fetch/curl, and the `references/` files carry the endpoint details.

It is a third-party hosted connector. Do not configure it for the user. If they ask for it, point them at DFlow's own setup docs:

```
The DFlow MCP server is optional and not bundled. Setup instructions:
https://pond.dflow.net/build/mcp
```

### 3. API Keys

**Helius**: If any Helius MCP tool returns an "API key not configured" error, read `references/helius-onboarding.md` for setup paths (existing key, agentic signup, or CLI).

**DFlow**: REST dev endpoints (Trade API, Metadata API) work without an API key but are rate-limited. DFlow WebSockets always require a key. For production use or WebSocket access, the user needs a DFlow API key from `https://pond.dflow.net/build/api-key`.

## Routing

Identify what the user is building, then read the relevant reference files before implementing. Always read references BEFORE writing code.

### Quick Disambiguation

These intents overlap across DFlow and Helius. Route them correctly:

- **"agent CLI" / "dflow CLI" / "autonomous trading" / "agent execute trade"** — DFlow Agent CLI for autonomous agent execution: `references/dflow-agent-cli.md` + `references/integration-patterns.md`. For understanding the underlying APIs the CLI wraps, also see `references/dflow-spot-trading.md` and `references/dflow-prediction-markets.md`.
- **"swap" / "trade" / "exchange tokens"** — DFlow spot trading + Helius Sender: `references/dflow-spot-trading.md` + `references/helius-sender.md` + `references/integration-patterns.md`. For priority fee control, also read `references/helius-priority-fees.md`.
- **"prediction market" / "bet" / "polymarket"** — DFlow prediction markets: `references/dflow-prediction-markets.md` + `references/dflow-proof-kyc.md` + `references/helius-sender.md` + `references/integration-patterns.md`.
- **"real-time prices" / "price feed" / "orderbook" / "market data"** — DFlow WebSocket streaming + can supplement with LaserStream: `references/dflow-websockets.md` + `references/helius-laserstream.md`.
- **"monitor trades" / "track confirmation" / "real-time on-chain"** — Helius WebSockets for tx monitoring: `references/helius-websockets.md`. For shred-level latency: `references/helius-laserstream.md`.
- **"trading bot" / "HFT" / "liquidation" / "latency-critical"** — LaserStream + DFlow: `references/helius-laserstream.md` + `references/dflow-spot-trading.md` + `references/helius-sender.md` + `references/integration-patterns.md`.
- **"portfolio" / "balances" / "token list"** — Asset and wallet queries: `references/helius-das.md` + `references/helius-wallet-api.md`.
- **"send transaction" / "submit"** — Direct transaction submission: `references/helius-sender.md` + `references/helius-priority-fees.md`.
- **"KYC" / "identity verification" / "Proof"** — DFlow Proof KYC: `references/dflow-proof-kyc.md`.
- **"onboarding" / "API key" / "setup"** — Account setup: `references/helius-onboarding.md` + `references/dflow-spot-trading.md`.

### Spot Crypto Swaps
**Read**: `references/dflow-spot-trading.md`, `references/helius-sender.md`, `references/helius-priority-fees.md`, `references/integration-patterns.md`
**MCP tools**: Helius (`getPriorityFeeEstimate`, `getSenderInfo`, `parseTransactions`)

Use this when the user wants to:
- Swap tokens on Solana (SOL, USDC, any SPL token)
- Build a swap UI or trading terminal
- Integrate imperative or declarative trades
- Execute trades with optimal landing rates

### DFlow Agent CLI (Autonomous Trading)
**Read**: `references/dflow-agent-cli.md`, `references/integration-patterns.md`
**MCP tools**: Helius (`getAssetsByOwner`, `getWalletBalances`, `parseTransactions`) for data queries alongside CLI execution

Use this when the user wants to:
- Set up an AI agent that executes trades autonomously
- Use the DFlow CLI for scripted or automated trading workflows
- Configure guardrails (safety limits) for agent trading
- Manage encrypted wallets via the Open Wallet Standard
- Execute trades from the command line without building custom code

The Agent CLI wraps DFlow's trading infrastructure in a deterministic, structured interface. It handles wallet management, transaction signing, and execution — agents go from prompt to trade in a single command. Configure it with a Helius RPC URL for optimal performance.

### Prediction Markets
**Read**: `references/dflow-prediction-markets.md`, `references/dflow-proof-kyc.md`, `references/helius-sender.md`, `references/integration-patterns.md`
**MCP tools**: Helius (`getPriorityFeeEstimate`, `parseTransactions`)

Use this when the user wants to:
- Trade on prediction markets (buy/sell YES/NO outcomes)
- Discover and browse prediction markets
- Build a prediction market trading UI
- Redeem settled positions
- Integrate KYC verification for prediction market access

### Real-Time Market Data (DFlow)
**Read**: `references/dflow-websockets.md`, `references/helius-laserstream.md`

Use this when the user wants to:
- Stream real-time prediction market prices
- Display live orderbook data
