Files Modified

  1. execModuleCatalog.ts - Added CryptoBuySellModule definition
  2. Created: CryptoBuySellModule.java - Backend implementation (347 lines)
  3. Created: CRYPTO_BUYSELL_MODULE.md - Complete documentation

Next Steps

Short Term

  • Add HMAC-SHA256 signature generation for API authentication
  • Add order status polling (check if order filled)
  • Add partial fill handling

Medium Term

  • Add order modification/cancellation module
  • Add crypto price ticker module
  • Add DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging) workflow template

Long Term

  • Add decentralized exchange support (Uniswap, 1inch)
  • Add staking/yield modules
  • Add crypto portfolio tracking module

Testing Recommendations

  1. Unit Tests: Test risk validation, request building
  2. Integration Tests: Test with Coinbase Sandbox
  3. E2E Workflows:
    • Buy 0.1 BTC market order
    • Buy ETH limit order with notifications
    • Sell with risk controls

Security Notes

✅ API Keys stored encrypted in IntegrationAccount (@SecureField)
✅ Idempotency keys prevent duplicate orders
✅ Risk controls limit exposure
✅ Webhooks support HTTPS only
✅ Separate sandbox environments supported

Build & Deploy

The module is ready for:

mvn clean compile    # Verify compilation
mvn clean install # Build with dependencies

Frontend automatically picks up the new module via execModuleCatalog.ts export.
