description: Trails — Cross-chain swap, bridge, and DeFi orchestration via Sequence. Use when an agent wants to swap tokens across chains, bridge assets, fund a Bankr wallet from any chain, deposit into yield vaults (Aave, Morpho), get token prices, discover earn pools, or quote cross-chain routes. Integrates with Bankr submit() for on-chain execution. Also use when asked about Trails, Sequence swaps, cross-chain bridging, or DeFi yield deposits.
Trails
Cross-chain swap, bridge, and DeFi orchestration powered by Sequence. Agents specify the action — Trails automatically determines the optimal multi-step path across chains.
API Base: https://trails-api.sequence.app/rpc/Trails/<MethodName>
Auth Header: X-Access-Key: $TRAILS_API
Widget: https://demo.trails.build/
Bankr Integration: submit() from @bankr/cli broadcasts on-chain transactions
Environment Variables
export TRAILS_API=<your-sequence-project-access-key>
export BANKR_API_KEY=<your-bankr-key>
Quick Start
Get a swap quote (USDC on Polygon -> ETH on Base)
BANKR_WALLET=$(curl -s https://api.bankr.bot/agent/me \
-H "X-API-Key: $BANKR_API_KEY" \
| jq -r '.wallets[] | select(.chain == "evm") | .address')
curl -s https://trails-api.sequence.app/rpc/Trails/QuoteIntent \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "X-Access-Key: $TRAILS_API" \
-d "{
\"ownerAddress\": \"$BANKR_WALLET\",
\"originChainId\": 137,
\"originTokenAddress\": \"0x3c499c542cef5e3811e1192ce70d8cC03d5c3359\",
\"originTokenAmount\": \"10000000\",
\"destinationChainId\": 8453,
\"destinationTokenAddress\": \"0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000\",
\"destinationTokenAmount\": \"0\",
\"tradeType\": \"EXACT_INPUT\",
\"options\": { \"slippageTolerance\": 0.005 }
}" | jq '.intent.quote'
Discover yield pools
curl -s https://trails-api.sequence.app/rpc/Trails/GetEarnPools \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "X-Access-Key: $TRAILS_API" \
-d '{"chainIds": [137]}' \
| jq '[.pools[] | select(.isActive and .token.symbol == "USDC")] | sort_by(-.tvl) | .[0]'
Task Guide
When the user wants to fund a Bankr wallet
Use the Trails widget URL with the Bankr wallet address as toAddress. See references/trails.md Recipe 1.
When the user wants to swap tokens (same-chain or cross-chain)
- Get Bankr wallet address
- QuoteIntent -> CommitIntent -> submit depositTransaction via Bankr -> ExecuteIntent -> WaitIntentReceipt
See references/trails.md Recipe 2.
When the user wants to deposit into a yield vault
- GetEarnPools to discover pool addresses and APYs
- Approve the pool contract via Bankr submit()
- Deposit via Bankr submit()
See references/trails.md Recipe 3.
When the user asks about supported tokens or chains
Use GetTokenList (body: {"chainIds": [137]}) or GetChains.
When the user asks about token prices
Use GetTokenPrices.

Key Notes
originTokenAmount is in base units (e.g. 10000000 = 10 USDC with 6 decimals)
- Use
"0x000...000" for native token addresses
submit must be imported from @bankr/cli/dist/lib/api.js (not re-exported from main entry)
- Add
"destinationToAddress" to QuoteIntent to send output to a different wallet than the payer
