Recipe #10: Track Token Purchases and Pools Creation on Uniswap 🦄
Since we launched Recipes, we’ve been restlessly integrating HAL with some of the best dApps out there. Today we’re thrilled to launch a couple of long due recipes for one of our favorite dApp: Uniswap 🦄 ✨
Track Token Purchases
The only mandatory field is the Uniswap Pair. For example, if you want to track when a certain address buys more than 1,000 DAI on the DAI-WETH exchange, you can easily do so by selecting the exchange (there’s a nice search form), the token you want to track (in this case, DAI), and filling the “amount” and “user address” fields:
While you’re busy setting up your trigger, HAL will automatically customize an example template with some relevant data you might want to use:
In this example, my Slack notification will look something like this:
Note that the “amount” and the “user address” fields are optional, which allows for a few interesting use cases. Interested in tracking whale transactions of any specific token? Just leave the user address field empty. Do you want to track every token purchase from a specific address? 👀 Just fill in the “user address” and leave the “amount” field empty 💸 🕵🏻♀️
Track Pools Creation
Since we’re talking about pools, we thought we’d squeeze in another little recipe to help out with a common use case: monitor pools creation and be the first one to know when your favorite token is listed on Uniswap 🥇
All you need to do is provide the address for the token you want to track. Alternatively, you can leave it empty and be notified every time a new pool is added to Uniswap 👀
…but wait, can I do…?
Obviously there’s so much more you might want to track on Uniswap and this is just the beginning. If you’re feeling adventurous and know a little bit about how Uniswap works, you can create a custom trigger from scratch using HAL and one of our “basic” triggers, like a “Watch a Transaction”trigger to achieve just about anything! And if you get stuck and need help, just give us a shout on our Telegram channel! 💪
