Module overview
| Module | Description | Trigger keywords |
|---|
| Positions | Query staking positions, balances, available vs locked | position, balance, staked, staking assets, holdings, redeemable |
| Rewards | Query reward history, yesterday/monthly earnings | reward, earning, profit, income, yesterday earnings, monthly earnings |
| Products | Discover available staking products, APY, min amount | products, available, APY, stakeable coins, high yield, flexible |
| Order history | Query stake/redeem order list and pagination | history, orders, transactions, staking records, redemption records |
| Stake / Redeem | Execute stake or redeem via swap (pid required) | stake, redeem, unstake, stake 100 USDT, redeem my ETH, swap staking |
Mint: Treated as immediate stake. Route to the same Stake workflow: read references/staking-swap.md, resolve product (pid) and amount, then call cex_earn_swap_staking_coin with side=0. For GUSD products, require the user to choose USDT or USDC and pass coin.
Cancel redeem (not supported): When the user intends to cancel or revoke a redeem (e.g. cancel a redemption order already submitted), do not call any tool. Reply in English that this operation is not supported.
Domain Knowledge
Product types
| productType | Label | Description |
|---|
| 0 | Certificate | Flexible staking with instant redemption (redeemPeriod = 0) |
| 1 | Lock-up | Fixed-term staking with a defined lock period (redeemPeriod > 0) |
| 2 | US Treasury Bond | Products backed by US Treasury bonds (e.g. GUSD). Users stake crypto and receive yield derived from US Treasury interest rates. Typically has a fixed or semi-fixed APR with low risk. |
Redeemable amount calculation
The redeemable amount for a position is not mortgage_amount − freeze_amount. The correct formula is:
redeemable = mortgage_amount × exchangeRate
Where exchangeRate comes from cex_earn_find_coin for the same pid and matching currency. Some products have exchangeRate = 1 (e.g. USDT flexible), while others vary (e.g. liquid staking tokens).
Dynamic exchange rate (exchangeRate ≠ 1)
When a product’s exchange rate is not equal to 1, it is a dynamic-rate product. In stake/redeem response data (swap result or order list): amount = staked/redeemed base coin quantity; exchangeAmount (or exchange_amount) = received quote/reward coin quantity.
Display rule (English only):
- Stake: Show exchangeAmount (what the user receives).
- Redeem: Show amount (what the user receives).
When exchangeRate = 1, either field may be omitted or shown as equal; prefer showing the single amount.
Reward distribution
reward_delay_days = -1 means the reward is paid on redeem, not periodically.interest_delay_days indicates the delay after staking before rewards start accruing (typically 1 day / T+1).- Multi-coin rewards: a single position can generate rewards in multiple coins (e.g. stake USDT in Compound V3, receive USDT + COMP).
GUSD / multi-currency products (USDT or USDC)
When staking, redeeming, or minting GUSD (or any product whose currency or mortgage_coin is "USDT,USDC"):
- Require the user to choose a coin. Only USDT and USDC are supported.
- Prompt: e.g. "This product accepts USDT or USDC. Which do you want to use: USDT or USDC?"
- Pass the user’s choice as the
coin parameter to the swap (or mint) tool. Do not call the tool until the user has selected one of the two.
Positions: status field
When viewing staking positions (position/balance/holdings queries), ignore and do not display the status field. Omit it from all user-facing position output.
Timestamps in results
Do not display or format timestamp-related fields in any result. Omit from user-facing output all timestamp fields (e.g. createStamp, redeem_stamp, updateStamp, should_bonus_stamp). Do not convert timestamps to dates, times, or relative time (e.g. no "YYYY-MM-DD", "HH:mm", "2 hours ago"). If a field is purely timestamp-based, do not show it.
Number formatting
| Category | Precision | Trailing zeros | Examples |
|---|
| General amounts (mortgage_amount, freeze_amount, income_total, fee, etc.) | 8 decimals | Removed | 1.23 not 1.23000000; 100 not 100.00000000 |
| Rate fields (estimateApr, APY, APR, exchangeRate) | 2 decimals | Retained | 5.20% not 5.2%; 8.00% not 8% |
Routing rules
| Intent | Example phrases | Route to |
|---|
| Positions | "Show my staking positions", "Check my staking assets", "What can I unstake?" | Read references/staking-assets.md |
| Rewards | "Staking rewards", "Yesterday's earnings", "Monthly earnings", "Earning records" | Read references/staking-list.md (Part 2: Reward List) |
| Products | "Available staking", "Stakeable coins", "Best APY", "Flexible only" | Read references/staking-coins.md |
| Order history | "Staking history", "Staking records", "Show redemptions", "Recent activity" | Read references/staking-list.md (Part 1: Order List) |
| Stake / Redeem | "Stake 1 BTC", "Stake 100 USDT", "Redeem my ETH", "redeem", "I want to stake", "unstake", "help me redeem" | Read references/staking-swap.md; use cex_earn_swap_staking_coin with pid required, side=0 (stake) or side=1 (redeem); before stake get product list, if multiple protocols for same coin ask user to confirm |
| Mint | "mint", "I want to mint", "Mint", "mint GT", "help me mint" | Same as Stake: route to references/staking-swap.md and execute stake (side=0). Mint = immediate stake. For GUSD, require user to choose USDT or USDC and pass coin. |
| Cancel redeem (not supported) | "cancel redeem", "revoke redeem", "undo redeem", "cancel my redemption", "withdraw redeem request" | Do not call tools. Reply in English: Cancelling or revoking a redeem is not supported here; please use the Gate website or app if needed. I can help you query positions or order history. |
| Unclear | "Help with staking", "on-chain earn" | Clarify: positions / rewards / products / history, then route |
Execution
1. Intent and parameters
- Determine module (Positions / Rewards / Products / Order history / Stake or Redeem) or whether the user intends to mint or cancel a redeem.
- Stake / Redeem intent: If the user wants to execute a stake or redeem (e.g. "stake 1 BTC", "stake 100 USDT", "redeem my ETH"), route to
references/staking-swap.md. Follow the swap workflow: pid is required for cex_earn_swap_staking_coin; use side=0 for stake, side=1 for redeem; before stake call cex_earn_find_coin and if multiple protocols for the same coin, list them and ask the user to confirm which product (pid) before calling the swap tool.
- Mint intent: If the user wants to mint (e.g. "mint", "I want to mint", "mint GT", "help me mint")—treat as stake. Route to
references/staking-swap.md and execute the Stake workflow (side=0). Mint = immediate stake; same product selection, amount, and GUSD coin rule (USDT/USDC) as stake.
- Cancel redeem intent: If the user wants to cancel or revoke a redeem (e.g. "cancel redeem", "revoke my redemption", "undo redeem")—do not call any MCP tool. Reply in English: "Cancelling or revoking a redeem is not supported here; please use the Gate website or app if needed. I can help you query positions or order history." Then stop.
- Extract:
coin, pid, page, amount; for order list also type (0=stake, 1=redeem); for swap always resolve or confirm pid before calling cex_earn_swap_staking_coin.
- Missing: if user says "my staking" without specifying positions/rewards/products/history/action, ask which one or show positions by default.
2. Tool selection
| Module | MCP tool | Required | Optional params |
|---|
| Positions | cex_earn_asset_list | - | coin, pid |
| Rewards | cex_earn_award_list | - | coin, pid, page |
| Products | cex_earn_find_coin | - | cointype |
| Order history | cex_earn_order_list | - | coin, pid, type, page |
| Stake / Redeem | cex_earn_swap_staking_coin | pid | amount, side (0=stake, 1=redeem), coin (GUSD) |
- Positions: When showing redeemable amount, call
cex_earn_find_coin (optionally with cointype), find the product with same pid and matching currency as each position; use that item’s exchangeRate (or exchangeRateReserve per API). Redeemable = mortgage_amount × that rate. Do not use mortgage_amount − freeze_amount.
- Stake / Redeem: Read
references/staking-swap.md. pid is required for cex_earn_swap_staking_coin. Use side: 0 = stake, 1 = redeem. Before stake: call cex_earn_find_coin(cointype=<coin>); if multiple products (multiple pids) for that coin, list them and ask the user to confirm which product before calling the swap. Before redeem: if user did not give pid, use cex_earn_asset_list(coin=<coin>) to get positions; if multiple positions, ask user to choose pid.
- Response structures: Positions → array of items (pid, mortgage_coin, mortgage_amount, freeze_amount, income_total, yesterday_income / yesterday_income_multi, etc.). Redeemable is not mortgage_amount − freeze_amount; redeemable = mortgage_amount × exchange rate, where exchange rate comes from
cex_earn_find_coin for the same pid and matching currency (coin). Order list → object with page, pageSize, pageCount, totalCount, list[]. Reward list → object with page, pageSize, pageCount, totalCount, list[] (pid, mortgage_coin, reward_coin, interest, bonus_date, etc.). Products → array (pid, currency, estimateApr, minStakeAmount, protocolName, redeemPeriod, productType, isDefi, currencyRewards, exchangeRate, etc.).
3. Format response
- Use the Response Template and field names from the reference file for the chosen module.
- Positions: show mortgage_amount, freeze_amount, redeemable (mortgage_amount × exchange rate; get exchange rate from
cex_earn_find_coin for the same pid and matching currency), income_total, yesterday_income; group by coin or show per pid. Do not use mortgage_amount − freeze_amount for redeemable. Do not display or format timestamp fields (omit createStamp, updateStamp). Do not display status (ignore status field when showing positions).
- Rewards: show list entries with reward_coin, interest, bonus_date, pid, mortgage_coin; sum by reward_coin; use totalCount/page/pageCount when relevant. Do not display or format timestamp fields (e.g. omit should_bonus_stamp).
- Products: show protocolName, currency, estimateApr, minStakeAmount, maxStakeAmount, redeemPeriod, productType, isDefi; sort by estimateApr or filter by cointype.
- Order history: show list with coin, amount, type (0=Stake, 1=Redeem), status, pid, fee; use totalCount, page, pageCount for pagination. Do not display or format timestamps (omit createStamp, redeem_stamp, etc.). For dynamic-rate products (exchangeRate ≠ 1): for Stake show exchange_amount, for Redeem show amount (see Domain Knowledge).
- Stake / Redeem: follow
references/staking-swap.md; confirm pid (and amount) before calling cex_earn_swap_staking_coin; show success or error message in English. For dynamic-rate products: stake confirmation shows exchangeAmount, redeem shows amount.
Report template
After each query, output a short standardized result consistent with the reference (e.g. positions summary, reward summary, product table, or order list). Use the exact response fields from the API (see references) so the user sees correct field names and values.
Safety rules
User confirmation requirement (Mandatory)
NEVER call cex_earn_swap_staking_coin without explicit user confirmation. Without user confirmation, only read/query operations are allowed.
Before every stake, redeem, or mint execution:
- Show an Action Draft summarizing: operation type (stake/redeem/mint), product (pid + protocolName), coin, amount, side, and key risk note (e.g. lock period, exchange rate).
- Wait for explicit user confirmation (e.g. "Confirm", "Yes", "Go ahead").
- Only after receiving confirmation in the immediately previous user turn, call
cex_earn_swap_staking_coin.
- If parameters change after confirmation (amount, pid, coin), invalidate the old confirmation and re-confirm.
- If confirmation is ambiguous, stale, or from a different context, do NOT execute — request fresh confirmation.
Stake, redeem, and mint
- Stake / Redeem: Supported via
cex_earn_swap_staking_coin. Follow references/staking-swap.md. pid is required; use side=0 (stake) or side=1 (redeem); before stake, fetch products and if multiple protocols for the same coin, ask the user to confirm which product (pid) before calling the swap. All responses in English.
- Mint: Supported as immediate stake. When the user asks to mint, execute the Stake workflow: route to
references/staking-swap.md, resolve pid and amount, call cex_earn_swap_staking_coin with side=0. For GUSD, require the user to choose USDT or USDC and pass coin.
- Cancel redeem: Not supported. When the user asks to cancel or revoke a redeem (e.g. cancel a redemption order), reply in English: "Cancelling or revoking a redeem is not supported here; please use the Gate website or app if needed. I can help you query positions or order history." Do not call any tool.
