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.

7.3 Error Codes

HTTP Status Codes

Code Meaning Cause
200 Success Request completed
400 Bad Request Invalid parameters, malformed JSON
401 Unauthorized Missing or invalid API key
403 Forbidden API key expired, plan limits reached
429 Rate Limited TPS exceeded
500 Server Error Internal error, try again later

Code Meaning
200 Success
1001 General failure
1011 System error
1021 Signature verification failed
1022 API frozen, contact support
1023 Request expired (timestamp out of range)
2001 Request parameter error
3001 Transaction send failed
3011 Transaction record not found
3021 Order cancellation failed
3101 User does not exist
3102 User assets don't belong to this organization
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
  • .env in .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

  1. Check headers:

    print(headers)  # Verify X-API-KEY is present
    
  2. Verify token ID format:

    # Correct
    "PEPE-bsc"
    "0x1234...-eth"
    
    # Wrong
    "PEPE"  # Missing chain
    "bsc:0x1234..."  # Wrong separator
    
  3. Check timestamp for HMAC:

    # Timestamp must be milliseconds
    timestamp = str(int(time.time() * 1000))
    
  4. Amount format:

    # Use string to avoid floating point precision issues
    "10000000"  # Correct
    10000000    # Also works
    10.0        # WRONG - precision loss

  4. All-in-one - Data + Trading in single platform
  5. Low fees - 0.6% chain, 0.8% proxy with rebates

12.3 Weaknesses

  1. Small community - Only 3 GitHub stars, limited tutorials
  2. Documentation - Primarily Chinese, limited English examples
  3. New platform - Early stage, potential instability
  4. Feature locks - WebSocket requires pro tier
  5. Solana complexity - Priority fees not well documented

12.4 When to Use Alternatives

Use Case Alternative
Multi-chain analytics only DexScreener API
ERC-20 trading on ETH Moralis
Historical price data CoinGecko API
Advanced charting TradingView API
Social sentiment LunarCrush

12.5 AVE Cloud Best Fit

  • Hackathon projects focused on automated trading with TP/SL
  • Copy trading bots leveraging smart wallet tracking
  • Multi-chain trading bots needing unified API
  • Real-time monitoring dashboards with WebSocket feeds

13. AVE Cloud Agent Skills - User Insights

GitHub Activity:

  • ave-cloud-skill: 3 stars, 46 commits (very early stage)
  • ave-cloud-mcp: 0 stars, just created (1 commit)

Most Used/Popular Features

  1. Token Research & Due Diligence (ave-data-rest)

    • Token search, price lookup, risk/honeypot detection
    • Trending token discovery
    • Most featured in documentation
  2. Proxy Wallet Trading (ave-trade-proxy-wallet)

    • Market/limit orders with TP/SL
    • Easier UX than self-custody
    • Well-documented
  3. Live Price Monitoring (ave-data-wss)

    • Real-time WebSocket streams
    • Multiple token tracking

Least Used/Niche Features

  1. Self-custody Chain-Wallet Trading (ave-trade-chain-wallet)

    • Requires private key/mnemonic management
    • Complex RPC setup
    • Lower priority in routing
  2. External Signer Workflows

    • Hardware wallet integration
    • Multi-sig support
  3. Solana-specific trading - Less documented, priority fee complexity

User Pain Points

  • API tier confusion (features locked behind paid tiers)
  • Multiple environment variables needed
  • WSS connection limit (5 concurrent)
  • No community tutorials or reviews found

Community Presence

  • Telegram: @aveai_english, @aveai_community_cn
  • Discord: discord.gg/Z2RmAzF2
  • No YouTube tutorials, blog posts, or external reviews yet

Bottom line: The skills system is very new (3 stars), primarily used for token research and proxy wallet trading. The self-custody chain-wallet is the least used due to complexity.
