celo-defi

Integrate DeFi protocols on Celo. Use when building swaps, lending, or liquidity applications with Uniswap, Aave, Ubeswap, or other DeFi protocols.

Celo DeFi Integration

This skill covers integrating DeFi protocols on Celo, including Uniswap for swaps, Aave for lending/borrowing, and other protocols.

When to Use

• Building swap functionality with Uniswap or Ubeswap
• Integrating lending/borrowing with Aave
• Creating liquidity provision features
• Building DeFi aggregators

Supply Assets

typescript

const AAVE_POOL = "0x3E59A31363E2ad014dcbc521c4a0d5757d9f3402";

const POOL_ABI = [
  {
    name: "supply",
    type: "function",
    stateMutability: "nonpayable",
    inputs: [
      { name: "asset", type: "address" },
      { name: "amount", type: "uint256" },
      { name: "onBehalfOf", type: "address" },
      { name: "referralCode", type: "uint16" },
    ],
    outputs: [],
  },
] as const;

async function supplyToAave(asset: string, amount: bigint): Promise<string> {

    transport: custom(window.ethereum),
  });

  const [address] = await walletClient.getAddresses();

  // First approve the Pool to spend tokens
  const hash = await walletClient.writeContract({
    address: AAVE_POOL,
    abi: POOL_ABI,
    functionName: "supply",
    args: [asset as `0x${string}`, amount, address, 0],
  });

  return hash;
}

Borrow Assets

typescript

const POOL_ABI_BORROW = [
  {
    name: "borrow",
    type: "function",
    stateMutability: "nonpayable",
    inputs: [
      { name: "asset", type: "address" },
      { name: "amount", type: "uint256" },

): Promise<string> {

    args: [asset as `0x${string}`, amount, BigInt(interestRateMode), 0, address],

Token Approval

Before interacting with DeFi protocols, approve token spending:

typescript

const ERC20_ABI = [
  {
    name: "approve",
    type: "function",
    stateMutability: "nonpayable",
    inputs: [
      { name: "spender", type: "address" },
      { name: "amount", type: "uint256" },
    ],
    outputs: [{ type: "bool" }],
  },
] as const;

async function approveToken(
  token: string,
  spender: string,
  amount: bigint
): Promise<string> {
  const walletClient = createWalletClient({
    chain: celo,
    transport: custom(window.ethereum),
  });

  const [address] = await walletClient.getAddresses();

  const hash = await walletClient.writeContract({
    address: token as `0x${string}`,
    abi: ERC20_ABI,
    functionName: "approve",
    args: [spender as `0x${string}`, amount],
  });

  return hash;
}
