What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the critical problem of inconsistent cryptocurrency symbol, asset, and instrument naming conventions across different exchanges, preventing errors in cross-exchange trading strategies.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Canonical Schema: Normalizes symbols from exchanges like Binance and OKX into a unified, deterministic schema.
  • Asset & Instrument Identification: Accurately parses base assets, quote assets, settlement assets, and instrument types (spot, perp, future, etc.).
  • Use Case: When managing a cross-exchange hedge strategy, this skill ensures that KITE-USDG on OKX and KITEUSDT perpetual on Binance are correctly identified as belonging to the same KITE asset family, while still respecting their distinct quote assets and instrument types, enabling accurate pairing and risk management.

Quick Start

Normalize the provided exchange instrument data into a canonical format.

FAQPage Schema
How do I normalize crypto symbols across exchanges for arbitrage or hedging?

To normalize crypto symbols across exchanges, you parse raw instrument tickers from platforms like Binance and OKX into a shared canonical schema, separating baseAsset, quoteAsset, settleAsset, and instrumentType for deterministic matching in cross-exchange strategies.

Why does my cross-exchange hedge strategy fail to match perpetual and spot instruments?

Cross-exchange hedge matching fails when quote currencies and instrument types are mismatched. Defining matching eligibility rules and parsing instrument identifiers separates base assets from quote assets, ensuring correct pairing and preventing hedge grouping errors.

What is the best way to standardize Binance and OKX cryptocurrency instrument identifiers?

Standardizing Binance and OKX instrument identifiers requires parsing spot, margin, futures, perpetual, and swap tickers into a unified schema that isolates settleAsset and instrumentType, generating deterministic IDs for adapters and matching logic.

Can I use a canonical schema to match different quote assets like USDG and USDT?

Yes, a canonical schema can match different quote assets by grouping instruments like KITE-USDG and KITEUSDT under the same KITE asset family, while still respecting their distinct quote currencies and instrument types for accurate risk management.

How do you handle quote currency mismatches when parsing crypto futures and perpetual swaps?

Handling quote currency mismatches involves parsing the raw exchange symbol to separate the base asset from the quote or settlement asset, defining matching eligibility rules to ensure only compatible instrument types are grouped for hedge strategies.

Does this symbol normalization approach support both spot and derivatives instrument parsing?

Yes, this normalization approach supports parsing spot, margin, futures, perpetual, and swap instruments, accurately extracting base assets, quote assets, and settlement assets to generate deterministic identifiers across various exchange types.
