Basic Usage Guide

This guide provides detailed information about using Lemo effectively to build and manage your Solana DeFi AI agents.

Understanding Lemo

Lemo is a powerful platform for creating AI-powered trading and investment agents on Solana. It helps you develop, test, and deploy sophisticated DeFi strategies through an intuitive interface.

Core Concepts

Project Context

  • Lemo operates within the Solana ecosystem
  • It understands DeFi protocols and market dynamics
  • Secure integration with your wallet and protocols
  • Real-time market data analysis

Interaction Models

  • Natural language strategy definition
  • AI-powered market analysis
  • Risk management automation
  • Strategy backtesting and optimization

Common Use Cases

1. Smart Contract Development

Create and deploy Solana contracts

"Generate a yield farming contract for token pairs"
"Create a liquidity pool smart contract"
"Implement automated trading logic"

2. Strategy Development

Define trading strategies

"Create a mean reversion strategy for SOL/USDC"
"Implement a yield farming strategy across protocols"
"Design a portfolio rebalancing algorithm"

3. Risk Management

Configure risk parameters

"Set up stop-loss parameters for the strategy"
"Implement position sizing rules"
"Create risk-adjusted returns calculation"

4. Market Analysis

Analyze market conditions

"Analyze current market sentiment for SOL"
"Identify arbitrage opportunities"
"Monitor liquidity across DEXs"

Working Patterns

1. Strategy Development

Start with strategy definition

"Define basic trading parameters"

Add complexity

"Add market condition checks"
"Implement advanced order types"
"Add multi-token support"

2. Performance Optimization

Analyze strategy performance

"Check the strategy's historical returns"

Optimize parameters

"Optimize entry/exit points"
"Adjust risk parameters based on volatility"

Implement improvements

"Update the strategy with optimized parameters"

3. Protocol Integration

Integrate with DeFi protocols

"Connect to Serum DEX for trading"
"Set up Raydium liquidity provision"
"Integrate with Marinade for staking"

Best Practices

1. Strategy Design

  • Define clear trading objectives
  • Start with simple strategies
  • Consider market conditions
  • Document your approach

2. Risk Management

  • Always implement stop-losses
  • Diversify across protocols
  • Monitor position sizes
  • Regular strategy review

3. Testing

  • Backtest thoroughly
  • Use paper trading
  • Monitor live performance
  • Regular strategy validation

4. Security

  • Audit smart contracts
  • Use secure wallets
  • Monitor transactions
  • Regular security reviews

Tips for Efficiency

Use Project-Wide Context

  • Let Lemo understand your entire codebase
  • Reference related files and modules
  • Explain architectural decisions

Leverage Incremental Changes

  • Make small, focused modifications
  • Review each change
  • Build complexity gradually

Maintain Clear Communication

  • Be specific in requests
  • Provide necessary context
  • Ask for clarification

Utilize Version Control

  • Work in feature branches
  • Review changes carefully
  • Keep meaningful history

Common Patterns

Code Review

# Request review
"Review this implementation"

# Address feedback
"Apply the suggested improvements"

# Verify changes
"Run the tests to verify"

Feature Development

# Plan implementation
"How should we implement this feature?"

# Execute plan
"Let's start with the basic structure"

# Iterate and refine
"Now add error handling"

Bug Fixing

# Describe issue
"The app crashes when..."

# Investigate
"Can you help find the cause?"

# Apply fix
"Implement the solution"

# Verify
"Add tests to prevent regression"
