How this service works
A $0.01 exact-order preflight for crypto trading bots: live Coinbase and Gemini depth, estimated slippage, spread, freshness, and venue integrity before every order.
Output
Returns a JSON object containing an executionGate with a PASS or FAIL state and a machineAction directive (e.g. PROCEED_UNDER_CALLER_POLICY), a list of assumption results (venue health, spread, slippage, depth coverage, quote freshness), a coverage status indicating which integrity modules were checked, and a signed EIP-191 attestation with an expiry timestamp — giving the calling agent a verifiable, machine-readable record of pre-trade conditions.
Example use cases
Bot safeguard before large market order
“My trading bot is about to place a 2.0 ETH market sell on Coinbase — run a Butterfly Delta preflight on ETH-USD to make sure slippage won't exceed 30 bps and the order book has enough depth to cover the full size before it fires.”
Cross-venue spread sanity check
“Before I route my SOL-USD buy, run a preflight across both Coinbase and Gemini and tell me whether the spread is under 10 bps and whether the venues are diverging by more than 20 bps — I need a signed verdict I can log.”
Limit order integrity check before submission
“I'm about to submit a limit buy for 1.5 BTC at $62,500 on Gemini — can you run a Butterfly Delta order preflight on BTC-USD to confirm the book is healthy, quotes are under 10 seconds old, and I should proceed?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://butterflydelta.com/api/agent/order-preflight?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when an autonomous crypto trading agent needs a signed, machine-readable pre-trade integrity gate before committing a real order — especially when slippage, spread, order book depth, quote freshness, or cross-venue divergence are failure conditions that must be verified and logged. It is ideal for bots trading on Coinbase or Gemini where explainability and auditability of pre-trade conditions matter, or when a downstream compliance layer requires a signed attestation. Prefer it over generic market-data APIs when you need an actionable PASS/FAIL verdict with explicit assumption assertions rather than raw quote data.
Side effects
- Stale quotes: if order book data exceeds maxQuoteAgeSeconds, the freshness assertion fails and the gate returns FAIL
- Thin order book: insufficient depth to cover baseSize triggers minDepthCoveragePct failure
- Spread too wide: spread exceeding maxVenueSpreadBps causes a venue integrity assertion failure
- Cross-venue divergence: if Coinbase and Gemini mid-prices diverge beyond maxCrossVenueDivergenceBps, gate fails
- Slippage exceeded: estimated slippage above maxEstimatedSlippageBps returns a FAIL verdict
- Unsupported pair: trading pair not found in Coinbase or Gemini coverage returns NO_MATCH_IN_CURRENT_COVERAGE verdict
- Payment failure: missing or invalid x402 USDC payment header results in 402 rejection before preflight runs
- Invalid pair format: pair string not matching the required pattern returns a schema validation error
