AVE Claw Hackathon 2026 - Research Report
1. What is the AVE Claw Hackathon?
Theme/Purpose:
The AVE Claw Hackathon is a developer competition focused on building trading bots, analytics tools, and real-time monitoring applications using the AVE Cloud platform. Based on the hackathon site at https://clawhackathon.aveai.trade/ (Vite-built), it appears to be centered around crypto/DEX trading automation and data analysis.
Note: The hackathon site is a client-side rendered SPA, so specific dates and prize amounts could not be extracted. You should visit the site directly or contact the organizers at https://t.me/ave_ai_cloud for official timeline details.

| 3103 | User asset account disabled |
| 3104 | No proxy wallet permission, upgrade plan required |
7.4 CU (Compute Unit) Cost Optimization
Each API call costs CU. Strategies to minimize usage:
| Strategy | Example |
|---|---|
Use /v2/tokens/price batch (100 CU) vs individual calls |
Batch up to 200 tokens in one call |
| Cache trending/risk data | Risk info changes slowly, cache for 5-10 min |
| Use filters | Add tvl_min, tx_24h_volume_min to price queries |
| Prefer search over detailed token | /v2/tokens (5 CU) vs /v2/tokens/{id} (5 CU) |
7.5 Pagination
Endpoints that return lists support pagination:
| Parameter | For |
|---|---|
page_size |
Results per page (max varies) |
current_page |
Page number (0-indexed) |
last_id |
Cursor for next page (from previous response) |
Example pagination flow:
# Get first page
result = get_trending_tokens(chain="bsc", page=0, page_size=50)
next_page = result["next_page"] # Use this for next request
# For wallet PnL with cursor
result = get_wallet_pnl(wallet, chain, token)
if result.get("has_more"):
next_result = get_wallet_pnl(wallet, chain, token, last_id=result["last_id"])

9. Security Guide
9.1 API Key Management
| Do | Don't |
|---|---|
| Store in environment variables | Commit to git |
Use .env file (add to .gitignore) |
Share in Slack/Discord |
| Rotate keys periodically | Use in client-side code |
| Regenerate if compromised | Log API keys in errors |
# .env file (NEVER commit this)
AVE_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
AVE_SECRET_KEY=your_secret_key_here
AVE_EVM_PRIVATE_KEY=your_private_key_here
9.2 HMAC Signing for Proxy Wallet
Proxy wallet requests require HMAC-SHA256 signature:
import hashlib
import hmac
import json
import time
def generate_signature(secret_key: str, timestamp: str, body: str = "") -> str:
message = timestamp + body
signature = hmac.new(
secret_key.encode(),
message.encode(),
hashlib.sha256
).hexdigest()
return signature
# Usage
timestamp = str(int(time.time() * 1000))
body = json.dumps({"chain": "bsc", "proxy_wallet": "0x..."}, separators=(",", ":"))
signature = generate_signature(AVE_SECRET_KEY, timestamp, body)
headers = {
"X-API-KEY": API_KEY,
"X-Signature": signature,
"X-Timestamp": timestamp,
"Content-Type": "application/json"
}
9.3 Chain Wallet Private Key Protection
| Option | Security Level | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Hardware wallet | Highest | Production trading |
| Encrypted keystore | High | Development |
| Mnemonic (never raw key) | Medium | Quick testing |
| Raw private key in env | Low | Temporary only |
# Use hardware wallet or encrypted key
# NEVER do this:
AVE_EVM_PRIVATE_KEY=0x1234567890abcdef...
# DO this instead:
# Import from encrypted keystore or hardware wallet
9.4 Webhook/Callback Verification
If implementing webhooks for order updates:
def verify_webhook_signature(payload: bytes, signature: str, secret: str) -> bool:
expected = hmac.new(secret.encode(), payload, hashlib.sha256).hexdigest()
return hmac.compare_digest(signature, expected)
9.5 Security Checklist
- API key stored in environment variable, not code
.envin.gitignore- Proxy wallet HMAC signing implemented correctly
- Private keys never logged or error messages
- HTTPS only (all AVE Cloud endpoints use HTTPS)
- Timestamp validation (requests expire after ~30s)
- Input validation on all user-provided addresses/tokens
10. Testing Strategies
10.1 Dry-Run / Quote Mode
Always test with quotes first:
# Chain wallet quote (no actual trade)
python3 docs/scripts/ave_trade_rest.py chain-quote \
--chain bsc --in-token 0x55d398326f99059fF775485246999027B3197955 \
--out-token 0x7130d2A12B9BCbFAe4f2634d864A1Ee1Ce3Ead9c \
--in-amount 10000000 --swap-type buy
# Proxy wallet quote (no actual trade)
python3 docs/scripts/ave_trade_rest.py proxy-quote \
--chain bsc --proxy-wallet 0x... \
--in-token 0x55d398326f99059fF775485246999027B3197955 \
--out-token 0x7130d2A12B9BCbFAe4f2634d864A1Ee1Ce3Ead9c \
--in-amount 10000000 --swap-type buy
10.2 Paper Trading Pattern
import os
class PaperTradingBot:
def __init__(self):
self.mode = os.getenv("TRADING_MODE", "paper") # paper or live
def execute_trade(self, order):
if self.mode == "paper":
print(f"[PAPER] Would execute: {order}")
return {"status": "paper", "order_id": "paper_123"}
else:
return self.live_execute(order)
10.3 Testnet Considerations
| Chain | Testnet | Faucet |
|---|---|---|
| BSC | https://testnet.bscscan.com | https://testnet.bnb.org |
| Solana | https://api.devnet.solana.com | https://faucet.solana.com |
| ETH | Sepolia testnet | https://sepoliafaucet.com |
| Base | Base Sepolia | https://www.coinbase.com/faucets |
10.4 Mocking API Responses
import pytest
from unittest.mock import Mock, patch
def test_token_search():
mock_response = {
"status": 200,
"data": [{"symbol": "PEPE", "chain": "bsc", "current_price_usd": "0.00001"}]
}
with patch("requests.get") as mock_get:
mock_get.return_value = Mock(json=lambda: mock_response, status_code=200)
result = search_tokens("PEPE", "bsc")
assert result["data"][0]["symbol"] == "PEPE"
10.5 Testing WebSocket Reconnection
def test_reconnect():
client = AveWssClient(API_KEY)
client.connect()
# Simulate disconnect
client.ws.close()
# Should auto-reconnect
assert client.running
time.sleep(6) # Wait for reconnect
assert client.ws is not None
11. Troubleshooting Guide
11.1 Common Errors and Fixes
| Error | HTTP Code | Business Code | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 401 Unauthorized | 401 | - | Invalid/missing API key | Regenerate at cloud.ave.ai |
| 403 Forbidden | 403 | 1022 | API key expired | Renew key or contact support |
| 403 Forbidden | 403 | 3104 | Free tier accessing proxy wallet | Upgrade to Level 1+ |
| 429 Rate Limited | 429 | - | TPS exceeded | Add delay, implement backoff |
| 3001 Send TX Failed | 200 | 3001 | Insufficient gas or wallet balance | Check RPC, fund wallet |
| 1021 Signature Failed | 200 | 1021 | HMAC signature incorrect | Check timestamp and signing logic |
| 2001 Parameter Error | 200 | 2001 | Invalid request parameters | Check API docs for required fields |
11.2 WebSocket Troubleshooting
Connection refused:
# Verify API plan is pro
echo $API_PLAN # Should be "pro"
Not receiving messages:
# Enable debug mode
client = AveWssClient(api_key, debug=True)
Auto-reconnect not working:
# Manual reconnect
client.disconnect()
time.sleep(5)
client.connect()
11.3 Rate Limit Handling
import time
import requests
def call_with_retry(func, max_retries=3):
for attempt in range(max_retries):
result = func()
if result.status_code != 429:
return result
wait_time = 2 ** attempt # Exponential backoff
print(f"Rate limited, waiting {wait_time}s...")
time.sleep(wait_time)
raise Exception("Max retries exceeded")
11.4 Debugging Tips
-
Check headers:
print(headers) # Verify X-API-KEY is present -
Verify token ID format:
# Correct "PEPE-bsc" "0x1234...-eth" # Wrong "PEPE" # Missing chain "bsc:0x1234..." # Wrong separator -
Check timestamp for HMAC:
# Timestamp must be milliseconds timestamp = str(int(time.time() * 1000)) -
Amount format:
# Use string to avoid floating point precision issues "10000000" # Correct 10000000 # Also works 10.0 # WRONG - precision loss
