A mean-reversion strategy expects the prices to return to “normal” levels or a certain moving average following a temporary price spike. We can construct a similar strategy using the Liquidity Pool, where we will set upper and lower bound prices that will trigger a sell and a buy transaction respectively. If the behavior of the LP prices works as expected always returning to a certain moving average, we could profit by selling high and buying low. We will do this by swapping atestfet and CW20 with the Liquidity Pool, we refer to a sell transaction when we sell atestfet and get CW20 tokens, a buy transaction would be exactly the opposite.

The code will require the following imports:

from time import sleep
from cosmpy.aerial.client import LedgerClient, NetworkConfig
from cosmpy.aerial.contract import LedgerContract
from cosmpy.aerial.faucet import FaucetApi
from cosmpy.aerial.wallet import LocalWallet

We will define the swap_native_for_cw20 function that trades swap_amount of atestfet from wallet for CW20 tokens by executing a pair_contract:

def swap_native_for_cw20(swap_amount, pair_contract, wallet):
    tx = pair_contract.execute({
      "swap": {
        "offer_asset": {
          "info": {
            "native_token": {
              "denom": "atestfet"
            }
          },
          "amount": str(swap_amount)
        }
      }
    },sender= wallet, funds= str(swap_amount) + "atestfet")
    print("swapping native for cw20 tokens")
    tx.wait_to_complete()
Now, we will define the swap_cw20_for_native function that does exactly the opposite of the function defined above: trades swap_amount of CW20 tokens from wallet for atestfet. This time the CW20 token_contract is executed using the pair_contract_address. Finally, you need to include the {"swap":{}} message in the "msg" field. However, this swap message has to be encoded into base64. When you encode {"swap":{}} message into base64 you get: eyJzd2FwIjp7fX0=

def swap_cw20_for_native(swap_amount, pair_contract_address, token_contract, wallet):
    tx = token_contract.execute({
      "send": {
        "contract": pair_contract_address,
        "amount": str(swap_amount),
        "msg": "eyJzd2FwIjp7fX0="
      }
    },wallet)
    print("swapping cw20 for native tokens")
    tx.wait_to_complete()
Set the network configuration, define a local wallet and add some tokens to it using the FaucetApi

# Define any wallet
wallet =  LocalWallet.generate()

# Network configuration
ledger = LedgerClient(NetworkConfig.latest_stable_testnet())

# Add tokens to wallet
faucet_api = FaucetApi(NetworkConfig.latest_stable_testnet())
wallet_balance = ledger.query_bank_balance(wallet.address())

while wallet_balance < (10**18):
    print("Providing wealth to wallet...")
    faucet_api.get_wealth(wallet.address())
    wallet_balance = ledger.query_bank_balance(wallet.address())
Define the CW20, pair, and liquidity token contracts with the following addresses:

# Define cw20, pair and liquidity token contracts
token_contract_address = (
    "fetch1qr8ysysnfxmqzu7cu7cq7dsq5g2r0kvkg5e2wl2fnlkqss60hcjsxtljxl"
)
pair_contract_address = (
    "fetch1vgnx2d46uvyxrg9pc5mktkcvkp4uflyp3j86v68pq4jxdc8j4y0s6ulf2a"
)
liq_token_contract_address = (
    "fetch1alzhf9yhghud3qhucdjs895f3aek2egfq44qm0mfvahkv4jukx4qd0ltxx"
)
token_contract = LedgerContract(
    path=None, client=ledger, address=token_contract_address
)
pair_contract = LedgerContract(
    path=None, client=ledger, address=pair_contract_address
)
liq_token_contract = LedgerContract(
    path=None, client=ledger, address=liq_token_contract_address
)

We will define a trading wallet named tokens that will keep track of the amount of atestfet or CW20 tokens we hold at each moment. The currency variable will keep track of the token type. We will never have a mixed trading wallet since in this strategy, every time we perform a swap, we sell all the current tokens.

# Trading Wallet
tokens = 1000000
currency = "atestfet"

Now we will define the upper and lower price bounds (atestfet/CW20) that will trigger a buy and a sell transaction of atestfet. We also define the commission rate (0.3% in Terraswap) and the interval time step to query the pool's price.

upper_bound = 26
lower_bound = 24


# LP commission
commission = 0.003

# Interval in seconds
interval = 5
Finally, we will initialize a loop, in every step it will:

  • Query the Liquidity Pool status
  • Check if current trading wallet's currency
  • Calculate the atestfet/CW20 price using the tokens received tokens_out if the whole trading wallet's balance tokens was to be swapped with the liquidity pool
  • If atestfet sell/buy price is equal or lower/higher than the lower/upper bound, it will trigger a sell/buy transaction of atestfet to buy/sell CW20 tokens.
  • Update trading wallet token balance and currency
  • Sleep interval and repeat
while True:

    # Query LP status
    pool = pair_contract.query({"pool": {}})
    native_amount = int(pool["assets"][1]["amount"])
    cw20_amount = int(pool["assets"][0]["amount"])

    if currency == "atestfet":
        # Calculate received tokens if tokens amount is given to LP
        tokens_out = round(((cw20_amount*tokens)/(native_amount+tokens))*(1-commission))

        # Sell price of atestfet => give atestfet, get cw20
        sell_price = tokens/tokens_out
        print("atestfet sell price: ", sell_price)
        if sell_price <= lower_bound:
            swap_native_for_cw20(tokens, pair_contract, wallet)
            tokens = int(token_contract.query({"balance": {"address": str(wallet.address())}})["balance"])
            currency = "CW20"
    else:
        # Calculate received tokens if tokens amount is given to LP
        tokens_out = round(((native_amount*tokens)/(cw20_amount+tokens))*(1-commission))

        # Buy price of atestfet => give cw20, get atestfet
        buy_price = tokens_out/tokens
        print("atestfet buy price: ", buy_price)
        if buy_price >= upper_bound:
            swap_cw20_for_native(tokens, pair_contract_address, token_contract, wallet)
            tokens = tokens_out
            currency = "atestfet"

    sleep(interval)

This code assumes other traders performing transactions with the Liquidity Pool that will generate price movements. You can check out the full example at swap-automation
