Gate Staking Query Suite

General Rules

⚠️ STOP — You MUST read and strictly follow the shared runtime rules before proceeding. Do NOT select or call any tool until all rules are read. These rules have the highest priority. → Read gate-runtime-rules.md

• Only call MCP tools explicitly listed in this skill. Tools not documented here must NOT be called, even if they exist in the MCP server.

MCP Mode

Read and strictly follow references/mcp.md, then execute this skill's staking workflow.

• SKILL.md keeps staking intent routing and scenario boundaries.
• references/mcp.md is the authoritative MCP execution layer for query/action separation, confirmation gates, and result verification.

Module overview

Mint: Treated as immediate stake. Route to the same Stake workflow: read references/staking-swap.md, resolve product (pid) and amount, then call cex_earn_swap_staking_coin with side=0. For GUSD products, require the user to choose USDT or USDC and pass coin.

Cancel redeem (not supported): When the user intends to cancel or revoke a redeem (e.g. cancel a redemption order already submitted), do not call any tool. Reply in English that this operation is not supported.

Product types

Redeemable amount calculation

The redeemable amount for a position is not mortgage_amount − freeze_amount. The correct formula is:

redeemable = mortgage_amount × exchangeRate

Where exchangeRate comes from cex_earn_find_coin for the same pid and matching currency. Some products have exchangeRate = 1 (e.g. USDT flexible), while others vary (e.g. liquid staking tokens).

Dynamic exchange rate (exchangeRate ≠ 1)

When a product’s exchange rate is not equal to 1, it is a dynamic-rate product. In stake/redeem response data (swap result or order list): amount = staked/redeemed base coin quantity; exchangeAmount (or exchange_amount) = received quote/reward coin quantity.

Display rule (English only):

• Stake: Show exchangeAmount (what the user receives).
• Redeem: Show amount (what the user receives).

When exchangeRate = 1, either field may be omitted or shown as equal; prefer showing the single amount.

Reward distribution

• reward_delay_days = -1 means the reward is paid on redeem, not periodically.
• interest_delay_days indicates the delay after staking before rewards start accruing (typically 1 day / T+1).
• Multi-coin rewards: a single position can generate rewards in multiple coins (e.g. stake USDT in Compound V3, receive USDT + COMP).

GUSD / multi-currency products (USDT or USDC)

When staking, redeeming, or minting GUSD (or any product whose currency or mortgage_coin is "USDT,USDC"):

• Require the user to choose a coin. Only USDT and USDC are supported.
• Prompt: e.g. "This product accepts USDT or USDC. Which do you want to use: USDT or USDC?"
• Pass the user’s choice as the coin parameter to the swap (or mint) tool. Do not call the tool until the user has selected one of the two.

Positions: status field

When viewing staking positions (position/balance/holdings queries), ignore and do not display the status field. Omit it from all user-facing position output.

Timestamps in results

Do not display or format timestamp-related fields in any result. Omit from user-facing output all timestamp fields (e.g. createStamp, redeem_stamp, updateStamp, should_bonus_stamp). Do not convert timestamps to dates, times, or relative time (e.g. no "YYYY-MM-DD", "HH:mm", "2 hours ago"). If a field is purely timestamp-based, do not show it.

Number formatting

Routing rules

Execution

1. Intent and parameters

• Determine module (Positions / Rewards / Products / Order history / Stake or Redeem) or whether the user intends to mint or cancel a redeem.
• Stake / Redeem intent: If the user wants to execute a stake or redeem (e.g. "stake 1 BTC", "stake 100 USDT", "redeem my ETH"), route to references/staking-swap.md. Follow the swap workflow: pid is required for cex_earn_swap_staking_coin; use side=0 for stake, side=1 for redeem; before stake call cex_earn_find_coin and if multiple protocols for the same coin, list them and ask the user to confirm which product (pid) before calling the swap tool.
• Mint intent: If the user wants to mint (e.g. "mint", "I want to mint", "mint GT", "help me mint")—treat as stake. Route to references/staking-swap.md and execute the Stake workflow (side=0). Mint = immediate stake; same product selection, amount, and GUSD coin rule (USDT/USDC) as stake.
• Cancel redeem intent: If the user wants to cancel or revoke a redeem (e.g. "cancel redeem", "revoke my redemption", "undo redeem")—do not call any MCP tool. Reply in English: "Cancelling or revoking a redeem is not supported here; please use the Gate website or app if needed. I can help you query positions or order history." Then stop.
• Extract: coin, pid, page, amount; for order list also type (0=stake, 1=redeem); for swap always resolve or confirm pid before calling cex_earn_swap_staking_coin.
• Missing: if user says "my staking" without specifying positions/rewards/products/history/action, ask which one or show positions by default.

2. Tool selection

• Positions: When showing redeemable amount, call cex_earn_find_coin (optionally with cointype), find the product with same pid and matching currency as each position; use that item’s exchangeRate (or exchangeRateReserve per API). Redeemable = mortgage_amount × that rate. Do not use mortgage_amount − freeze_amount.
• Stake / Redeem: Read references/staking-swap.md. pid is required for cex_earn_swap_staking_coin. Use side: 0 = stake, 1 = redeem. Before stake: call cex_earn_find_coin(cointype=<coin>); if multiple products (multiple pids) for that coin, list them and ask the user to confirm which product before calling the swap. Before redeem: if user did not give pid, use cex_earn_asset_list(coin=<coin>) to get positions; if multiple positions, ask user to choose pid.
• Response structures: Positions → array of items (pid, mortgage_coin, mortgage_amount, freeze_amount, income_total, yesterday_income / yesterday_income_multi, etc.). Redeemable is not mortgage_amount − freeze_amount; redeemable = mortgage_amount × exchange rate, where exchange rate comes from cex_earn_find_coin for the same pid and matching currency (coin). Order list → object with page, pageSize, pageCount, totalCount, list[]. Reward list → object with page, pageSize, pageCount, totalCount, list[] (pid, mortgage_coin, reward_coin, interest, bonus_date, etc.). Products → array (pid, currency, estimateApr, minStakeAmount, protocolName, redeemPeriod, productType, isDefi, currencyRewards, exchangeRate, etc.).

3. Format response

• Use the Response Template and field names from the reference file for the chosen module.
• Positions: show mortgage_amount, freeze_amount, redeemable (mortgage_amount × exchange rate; get exchange rate from cex_earn_find_coin for the same pid and matching currency), income_total, yesterday_income; group by coin or show per pid. Do not use mortgage_amount − freeze_amount for redeemable. Do not display or format timestamp fields (omit createStamp, updateStamp). Do not display status (ignore status field when showing positions).
• Rewards: show list entries with reward_coin, interest, bonus_date, pid, mortgage_coin; sum by reward_coin; use totalCount/page/pageCount when relevant. Do not display or format timestamp fields (e.g. omit should_bonus_stamp).
• Products: show protocolName, currency, estimateApr, minStakeAmount, maxStakeAmount, redeemPeriod, productType, isDefi; sort by estimateApr or filter by cointype.
• Order history: show list with coin, amount, type (0=Stake, 1=Redeem), status, pid, fee; use totalCount, page, pageCount for pagination. Do not display or format timestamps (omit createStamp, redeem_stamp, etc.). For dynamic-rate products (exchangeRate ≠ 1): for Stake show exchange_amount, for Redeem show amount (see Domain Knowledge).
• Stake / Redeem: follow references/staking-swap.md; confirm pid (and amount) before calling cex_earn_swap_staking_coin; show success or error message in English. For dynamic-rate products: stake confirmation shows exchangeAmount, redeem shows amount.

Report template

After each query, output a short standardized result consistent with the reference (e.g. positions summary, reward summary, product table, or order list). Use the exact response fields from the API (see references) so the user sees correct field names and values.

Safety rules

User confirmation requirement (Mandatory)

NEVER call cex_earn_swap_staking_coin without explicit user confirmation. Without user confirmation, only read/query operations are allowed.

Before every stake, redeem, or mint execution:

1. Show an Action Draft summarizing: operation type (stake/redeem/mint), product (pid + protocolName), coin, amount, side, and key risk note (e.g. lock period, exchange rate).
2. Wait for explicit user confirmation (e.g. "Confirm", "Yes", "Go ahead").
3. Only after receiving confirmation in the immediately previous user turn, call cex_earn_swap_staking_coin.
4. If parameters change after confirmation (amount, pid, coin), invalidate the old confirmation and re-confirm.
5. If confirmation is ambiguous, stale, or from a different context, do NOT execute — request fresh confirmation.

Stake, redeem, and mint

• Stake / Redeem: Supported via cex_earn_swap_staking_coin. Follow references/staking-swap.md. pid is required; use side=0 (stake) or side=1 (redeem); before stake, fetch products and if multiple protocols for the same coin, ask the user to confirm which product (pid) before calling the swap. All responses in English.
• Mint: Supported as immediate stake. When the user asks to mint, execute the Stake workflow: route to references/staking-swap.md, resolve pid and amount, call cex_earn_swap_staking_coin with side=0. For GUSD, require the user to choose USDT or USDC and pass coin.
• Cancel redeem: Not supported. When the user asks to cancel or revoke a redeem (e.g. cancel a redemption order), reply in English: "Cancelling or revoking a redeem is not supported here; please use the Gate website or app if needed. I can help you query positions or order history." Do not call any tool.
