Proposal: Python SDK for Tradehub
-
Summary
- Title - Switcheo Tradehub Python SDK
- Details - This project is aimed at widening the tools available to developers by adding Python to the set of available SDKs that can be used to interact with the Tradehub Blockchain. Another main goal is to ensure the SDK is backed by decentralized validators, meaning the code will ensure that communication with the protocol will be aimed at collecting and submitting information only to Validator Sentry end points (public by default and private if configured).
Description
- Owners
Devel484 - Tradehub Validator and contributed to original switcheo-python SDK
Switcheolytics - Create of original switcheo-python SDK- Key objectives and value to Switcheo TradeHub and its stakeholders.
Provide feature compatible SDK based on the work the Switcheo team builds for JS.
Allowing developers to interact with Tradehub via Python will open the doors to a wider range of developers that may not be familiar with JavaScript.- Share how you plan to carry out your project
Development can be followed on GitHub
Development will be coordinated between Devel and Switcheolytics- Elaborate on the long-term plans for your project and how it will be maintained after launch
Long term the project would evolve with the needs of other projects by increasing simplicity and usability as well as expanding the use of multiple Blockchains as Tradehub integrates with them. Maintenance can be accomplished via pull requests and anyone is welcome to contribute as is the nature of open source software.
Risks and Benefits
-
Discuss the potential drawbacks of your project and any mitigations
Opens up attack vectors from Open Source Python projects that could steal users private keys and subsequent funds. This is no different from the risks involved with JavaScript projects but should be noted. Since the project will be hosted on GitHub they have reports on exploited projects as well as integration with other build tools that can assist with keeping project dependencies up to date. -
Discuss any auxiliary benefits that may arise from implementing the project
Other projects and traders have been asking for a Python client so I believe more projects will be generated from the implementation of a Python SDK as well as added liquidity to DeMex pairs.
Project Roadmap and Key Deliverables
- Define a realistic timeline and roadmap for your project
Deliverable 1: Tradehub & basic DeMex integration - January 2021
Deliverable 2: Ethereum integration - February 2021
Deliverable 3: NEO integration - March 2021
Deliverable 4: Simplified client for trading - June 2021- Elaborate on key deliverables and specifications within your roadmap
Deliverable 1: Cosmos signatures and endpoint mapping
Deliverable 2: Ethereum signatures and endpoint mapping
Deliverable 3: NEO signatures and endpoint mapping
Deliverable 4: DeMex trading customizations & Websocket customization and hardeningBudget
-
Share the total budget required for your project (in USD) - 300k SWTH (updated)
-
Breakdown the budget for each project deliverable stated above for the fund release process (e.g. 10% to Deliverable #1, 20% to Deliverable #2)
Deliverable 1: 40%
Deliverable 2: 10%
Deliverable 3: 10%
Deliverable 4: 40%Switcheo TradeHub Wallet Address
Ideally this is a Validator that can act as escrow to help split funds until a multi-sig wallet is available.
The great intsoL has agreed to be an escrow account with his validator wallet and distribute funds accordingly as they become available and deliverables are met: swth1yyepjpjsrve6vy6l77nk88dtts8la9r3kpy3jz

I can only support this great initiative !

fully support this initiative!

I wanted to provide a status update for this proposal because we are quickly approaching our official release of this project. What does a first release require exactly?
- Code Quality and Linting - COMPLETE
- Automated Testing Suite - Partially Complete; WIP for Authenticated Endpoints
- Automated Builds - COMPLETE
- Automated Packaging - COMPLETE
- Automated Deployment - COMPLETE
- Documentation for users and developers - WIP
Without these items we do not believe it is fair to release the code officially or ask for developer funds as of yet.
But, the reason for this update is to allow those that are eager or willing to take the risk to view, interact, and open issues with the code base.
From a functionality standpoint we have tested every function available on the mainnet but have certainly not tested edge cases, which is why I would urge caution for using this without small tests first.
Deliverable 1: Cosmos signatures and endpoint mapping - COMPLETE
Deliverable 2: Ethereum signatures and endpoint mapping - Withdraw Complete; Deposit is WIP due to high gas fees
Deliverable 3: NEO signatures and endpoint mapping - Withdraw Complete; Deposit is WIP
Deliverable 4: DeMex trading customizations & Websocket customization and hardening - COMPLETEWe have also added a new deliverable to this list, Decentralized Tradescan Endpoints; These should be merged into the codebase over the weekend.

What a month February was, we have been making huge strides to having a second release and also learned a lot about how developers would typically be using the SDK. This includes how they select their validators and what happens when validators are not available. This is true for both REST and Websocket considerations and have had great feedback to build towards a v2, which we are ready to release once we have confirmed the updated to this proposal.
Note: Based on feedback from the community we are going to increase our ask to 300k SWTH for the development fund due to the reach that a Python SDK would have. We believe that many other projects will be built on top of this and allow other bot creators to bring liquidity to Tradehub. We are open to further feedback but feel that this is fair for functionality and testing that has been added to the repo.
Progress Report:
- Code Quality and Linting - COMPLETE
- Automated Testing Suite - COMPLETE
- Automated Builds - COMPLETE
- Automated Code Quality - COMPLETE - Currently at 9.39
- Automated Code Coverage - COMPLETE - Currently at 90%
- Automated Dependency Checks - COMPLETE
- Automated Packaging - COMPLETE
- Automated Deployment - COMPLETE
- Documentation for users and developers - COMPLETE - could still be improved.
- Network Crawler - COMPLETE
With all the automation that has been added, specifically the breadth of tests, we believe we are at the point that we can ask for developer funds and provide a high quality product to the community.
For future additions or changes to the Tradehub API we will look at effort level and consider how best to handle. We anticipate mode additions to be relatively easy to incorporate but without a way to test things on the testnet (futures, margin, leverage) it is too early to tell.
In terms of the original deliverables we are still in the same spot as before but it is unclear if adding Ethereum or Neo functionality into this project is necessary since web3 and neo-wallet already exist. We have added 2 deliverables, which we have met.
Deliverable 1: Cosmos signatures and endpoint mapping - COMPLETE
Deliverable 2: Ethereum signatures and endpoint mapping - Withdraw Complete; Deposit is WIP due to high gas fees
Deliverable 3: NEO signatures and endpoint mapping - Withdraw Complete; Deposit is WIP
Deliverable 4: DeMex trading customizations & Websocket customization and hardening - COMPLETE
Additional Deliverable 1: Decentralized Tradescan Endpoints merged into the Public Client - COMPLETE
Additional Deliverable 2: Tradehub Network Crawler and Retry Functionality - COMPLETEYou can find the necessary project links below:

Thanks to Switcheolytics and Devel484 for this collaboration and contribution to the community toolbox.
Here's looking forward to seeing what can be built using it
