openclaw skills install torchpredictionmarketkitAutonomous vault-based prediction market bot for Torch Market on Solana. Creates binary prediction markets as Torch tokens — the bonding curve provides price...
openclaw skills install torchpredictionmarketkitYou're here because you want to run prediction markets on Torch Market -- and you want to do it safely.
Every prediction market is a Torch token. The bonding curve is the AMM -- no LP setup, deterministic pricing, instant liquidity. The 10% treasury accumulates fees from every buy. Users buy the token to bet YES (price goes up), sell to bet NO (price goes down). At the deadline, the oracle checks the outcome and the bot records it.
Settlement model: token-as-signal. No payout mechanism. The token price IS the prediction. The bonding curve and treasury do the work.
That's where this bot comes in.
It reads your markets.json file, creates Torch tokens for pending markets, seeds them with initial liquidity from your vault, monitors price and volume, and resolves them at the deadline using an oracle (CoinGecko price feed or manual). All value routes through your vault. The agent wallet that signs transactions holds nothing.
This is not a read-only scanner. This is a fully operational market maker that generates its own keypair, verifies vault linkage, creates tokens, seeds liquidity, and resolves markets autonomously in a continuous loop.

The bot generates a fresh Keypair in-process on every startup. No private key file. No environment variable (unless you want to provide one). The keypair is disposable -- it signs transactions but holds nothing of value.
On first run, the bot checks if this keypair is linked to your vault. If not, it prints the exact SDK call you need to link it:
--- ACTION REQUIRED ---
agent wallet is NOT linked to the vault.
link it by running (from your authority wallet):
buildLinkWalletTransaction(connection, {
authority: "<your-authority-pubkey>",
vault_creator: "<your-vault-creator>",
wallet_to_link: "<agent-pubkey>"
})
then restart the bot.
-----------------------
Link it from your authority wallet (hardware wallet, multisig, whatever you use). The agent never needs the authority's key. The authority never needs the agent's key. They share a vault, not keys.
This is the same Torch Vault from the full Torch Market protocol. It holds all assets -- SOL and tokens. The agent is a disposable controller.
When the bot creates and seeds a market:
buildBuyTransaction(vault=creator)The human principal retains full control:
withdrawVault() — pull SOL at any timewithdrawTokens(mint) — pull market tokens at any timeunlinkWallet(agent) — revoke agent access instantlyIf the agent keypair is compromised, the attacker gets dust and vault access that you revoke in one transaction.
npm install torch-prediction-market-kit@2.0.2
Or use the bundled source from ClawHub — the Torch SDK is included in lib/torchsdk/ and the bot source is in lib/kit/.
From your authority wallet:
import { Connection } from "@solana/web3.js";
import {
buildCreateVaultTransaction,
buildDepositVaultTransaction,
} from "./lib/torchsdk/index.js";
const connection = new Connection(process.env.SOLANA_RPC_URL);
// Create vault
const { transaction: createTx } = await buildCreateVaultTransaction(connection, {
creator: authorityPubkey,
});
// sign and submit with authority wallet...
// Fund vault with SOL for market creation + seed liquidity
const { transaction: depositTx } = await buildDepositVaultTransaction(connection, {
depositor: authorityPubkey,
vault_creator: authorityPubkey,
amount_sol: 5_000_000_000, // 5 SOL
});
// sign and submit with authority wallet...

The bot is ~280 lines of TypeScript across 6 modules. It does three things: create markets, monitor them, and resolve them through the vault.
| Package | Version | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
@solana/web3.js | 1.98.4 | Solana RPC, keypair, transaction |
torchsdk | 3.7.23 | Token queries, token creation, buy builder, vault queries |
Two runtime dependencies. Both pinned to exact versions. No ^ or ~ ranges.
pending ──→ active ──→ resolved
│
└──→ cancelled
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| pending | Market defined in markets.json, no token created yet |
| active | Torch token created on bonding curve, users can trade |
| resolved | Deadline passed, oracle checked, outcome recorded (yes/no) |
| cancelled | Market removed before resolution (manual edit) |
interface MarketDefinition {
id: string // unique market identifier
question: string // human-readable question
symbol: string // token symbol (max 10 chars)
name: string // token name (max 32 chars)
oracle: Oracle // how the market resolves
deadline: number // unix timestamp (seconds)
initialLiquidityLamports: number // SOL to seed bonding curve (in lamports, max 10 SOL)
metadataUri: string // token metadata URI (allowlisted domains only)
}
All pending markets are validated on load. Markets with invalid inputs are rejected before any on-chain action.
| Field | Constraint | Rejected Example |
|---|---|---|
id | Must be unique across all markets | Duplicate "sol-200-mar" |
metadataUri | Domain must be in allowlist: arweave.net, gateway.irys.xyz, ipfs.io, cloudflare-ipfs.com, nftstorage.link, dweb.link | https://evil.com/payload.json |
initialLiquidityLamports | Max 10 SOL (10,000,000,000 lamports), non-negative | 50000000000 (50 SOL) |
oracle.asset | Must be in allowlist of known CoinGecko IDs (solana, bitcoin, ethereum, etc.) | "arbitrary-string" |
These constraints ensure a compromised markets.json cannot trigger arbitrary URI fetches, drain the vault, or make unintended API calls.
The primary oracle. Fetches the current price of an asset and compares it against a target.
{
"type": "price_feed",
"asset": "solana",

}
asset — CoinGecko asset ID (e.g. "solana", "bitcoin", "ethereum")condition — "above" or "below"target — USD price threshold"above", outcome is "yes" when price > target, "no" otherwiseFallback for markets that can't be resolved by a price feed.

Resolution: edit markets.json directly — set "status": "resolved" and "outcome": "yes" or "no".
The same seven guarantees from the Torch Market vault apply here:
| Property | Guarantee |
|---|---|
| Full custody | Vault holds all SOL and all market tokens. Agent wallet holds nothing. |
| Closed loop | Seed liquidity SOL comes from vault, purchased tokens go to vault ATA. No leakage to agent. |
| Authority separation | Creator (immutable PDA seed) vs Authority (transferable admin) vs Controller (disposable signer). |
| One link per wallet | Agent can only belong to one vault. PDA uniqueness enforces this on-chain. |
| Permissionless deposits | Anyone can top up the vault. Hardware wallet deposits, agent creates markets. |
| Instant revocation | Authority can unlink the agent at any time. One transaction. |
| Authority-only withdrawals | Only the vault authority can withdraw SOL or tokens. The agent cannot extract value. |
| Direction | Flow |
|---|---|
| SOL out | Vault → Bonding curve (seed liquidity buy) |
| Tokens in | Bonding curve → Vault ATA (purchased tokens) |
| Treasury | 10% of each buy accumulates in token treasury |
The vault's seed tokens remain on the bonding curve. Users trade against the curve. Treasury grows from fees. The authority can withdraw vault tokens or SOL at any time.
The bot uses a focused subset of the Torch SDK:
| Function | Purpose |
|---|---|
getVault(connection, creator) | Verify vault exists on startup |
getVaultForWallet(connection, wallet) | Verify agent is linked to vault |
buildCreateTokenTransaction(connection, params) | Build token creation transaction for new market |
buildBuyTransaction(connection, params) | Build vault-routed buy to seed initial liquidity |
getToken(connection, mint) | Get token price, volume, status for market snapshots |
getHolders(connection, mint) | Get holder count for market snapshots |
confirmTransaction(connection, sig, wallet) | Confirm transaction on-chain via RPC (verifies signer, checks Torch instructions) |
const { transaction, mint, mintKeypair } = await buildCreateTokenTransaction(connection, {
creator: agentPubkey, // agent wallet (signer + fee payer)
name: "SOL Above 200 March", // token name (max 32 chars)
symbol: "SOL200M", // token symbol (max 10 chars)
metadata_uri: "https://arweave.net/...", // token metadata URI
});
const { transaction, message } = await buildBuyTransaction(connection, {
mint: mintAddress, // token to buy
buyer: agentPubkey, // agent wallet (signer)
amount_sol: 100000000, // 0.1 SOL in lamports
slippage_bps: 500, // 5% slippage tolerance
vault: vaultCreator, // vault creator pubkey (SOL from vault, tokens to vault ATA)
});
The vault is the security boundary, not the key.
The agent keypair is generated fresh on every startup with Keypair.generate(). It holds ~0.01 SOL for gas fees. If the key is compromised, the attacker gets:
The agent never needs the authority's private key. The authority never needs the agent's private key. They share a vault, not keys.
All SDK calls are wrapped with a 30-second timeout (withTimeout in utils.ts). A hanging or unresponsive RPC endpoint cannot stall the bot indefinitely — the call rejects, the error is caught by the market cycle loop, and the bot continues to the next market or cycle.
| Variable | Required | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
SOLANA_RPC_URL / RPC_URL | Yes | Solana RPC endpoint (HTTPS) |
VAULT_CREATOR | Yes | Vault creator pubkey — identifies which vault the bot operates through |
SOLANA_PRIVATE_KEY | No | Optional — if omitted, the bot generates a fresh keypair on startup (recommended) |
The SDK and bot make outbound HTTPS requests to external services. The bot's runtime path contacts three of them:
| Service | Purpose | When Called | Bot Uses? |
|---|---|---|---|
CoinGecko (api.coingecko.com) | Asset price for oracle resolution + SOL/USD display | checkPriceFeed() in oracle.ts, getToken() in SDK | Yes — oracle resolution AND token queries |
Irys Gateway (gateway.irys.xyz) | Token metadata fallback (name, symbol, image) | getToken() when on-chain metadata URI points to Irys | Yes — via getToken() |
SAID Protocol (api.saidprotocol.com) | Agent identity verification and trust tier lookup | verifySaid() only | No — the bot does not call verifySaid() |
The oracle module (oracle.ts) calls the CoinGecko public API directly:
GET https://api.coingecko.com/api/v3/simple/price?ids={asset}&vs_currencies=usd
"solana") — no wallet, transaction, or agent data{ "solana": { "usd": 87.76 } }checkPriceFeed() throws and the market stays unresolved until the next cycleconfirmTransaction() does NOT contact SAID. Despite living in the SDK's said.js module, it only calls connection.getParsedTransaction() (Solana RPC) to verify the transaction succeeded on-chain and determine the event type. No data is sent to any external service.
No credentials are sent to CoinGecko or Irys. All requests are read-only GET. If either service is unreachable, the bot degrades gracefully. No private key material is ever transmitted to any external endpoint.
