Cetus Yield Agent

An agent that deposits your funds into a Sui trading pool and earns a share of every trade — automatically. It monitors the market, repositions when needed, and scans for better opportunities across the Sui ecosystem.

What you’ll see

Your agent checks the pool price every 5 minutes and shows a live dashboard at localhost:3001
When the market price drifts too far, the agent repositions your funds and notifies you on Telegram
A yield comparison table shows how your returns stack up against every other option on Sui

Launch it


npx create-waap-agent --template cetus-yield
cd cetus-yield-agent
npm start

Safe by default. This starter runs in monitor mode on mainnet — it watches the pool but doesn’t trade. You see real data without risking funds. Switch to active mode when you’re ready.

Set it up (2 minutes)

You’ll be prompted for:

Setting	What it means	Default
WaaP email	Your agent’s WaaP account	required
Pool	Which trading pair to use	SUI / USDC
Mode	`monitor` (watch only) or `active` (trade)	monitor
Earning zone	How wide to set the price range	200 (auto-adjusts)
Reposition trigger	How far the price must move before repositioning	100 price units
Check interval	How often to check the market	Every 5 minutes

That’s it. The agent handles the rest.

See it work

Within 30 seconds of starting, open http://localhost:3001 in your browser. You should see:

A green “Earning” badge showing the agent’s funds are in the active earning zone
A price range bar with a marker showing where the market price sits
A yield comparison table ranking Cetus pools and lending protocols across Sui

The dashboard refreshes every 30 seconds. Let it run for a few cycles to see the balance chart populate.

Make it yours

Three things most people customize first:

1. Switch to a higher-yield pool

The dashboard shows which pools are earning the most. To switch:


# In .env
CETUS_POOL_ID=0x...   # Copy the pool ID from app.cetus.zone

2. Turn on active trading

Once you’re comfortable with what you see in monitor mode:


# In .env
AGENT_MODE=active

Fund your wallet with SUI (for transaction fees) and USDC (for the pool deposit). Send native SUI from an exchange — do not bridge ETH, as bridged ETH is a different token and can’t be used for gas. Reserve at least 0.2 SUI for fees. The agent will open a position on the next cycle.

3. Widen the earning zone for volatile markets

If you see frequent repositions (which cost transaction fees), widen the zone:


# In .env
POSITION_RANGE_TICKS=400   # default is 200

Or leave it at 200 and let the volatility engine auto-adjust (it does this by default).

How it keeps you safe

Your agent never holds your private key — it’s split between your device and a secure enclave using WaaP’s two-party signing. Every trade goes through waap-cli, which can require your approval on Telegram for anything above your daily limit. And in the default monitor mode, the agent doesn’t make any transactions at all.
