Makers

Makers run web servers that implement APIs like RFQ and LastLook using JSON-RPC over HTTP or WebSocket. To be reachable by clients, servers run at public endpoints with CORS enabled. To become discoverable, server URLs are added to the Registry smart contract, which is queried by clients.
Introduction
AirSwap liquidity providers are makers, generally online and quoting, with takers on the other side of each trade. At the lower protocol level, where the software used by makers and takers interacts with Ethereum, there are signers, who set and cryptographically sign terms (an order), and senders who submit those terms for settlement on the Swap contract.
For the RFQ protocol, a server is always the signer and the client is always the sender. For LastLook, the client is always the signer and a server is always the sender.
Nonces are unique identifiers for swaps and used for cancels. They should be generated incrementally but might execute out of order.
URLs may be to either HTTP or WebSocket servers using https or wss respectively.
Registry is used to signal that a server is available to trade specific tokens, including contact information (URL), without pricing.
HTTP vs WebSocket
If a URL is HTTPS, it implies that the server supports the latest RFQ protocol at that endpoint. If a URL is WebSocket (wss) then the server communicates its supported protocols upon connnection. See the setProtocols method of the Request for Quote and LastLook protocols for details. WebSocket servers can support both RFQ and LastLook protocols.
Getting Started
Getting started is as easy as standing up a JSON-RPC web server and adding its URL to the Registry.
Servers generally implement the RFQ protocol at minimum.
You can debug your server with the CLI or via curl.
When ready, add your server to the Registry which requires 100K AST.
Protocol Fees
When signing orders in RFQ, a protocol fee (in basis points) is hashed into the signature and verified during settlement. The value of this parameter must match its current value of protocolFeeLight on the SwapERC20 contract. The amount is transferred from the signerWallet address upon settlement.
100% of protocol fees go toward rewarding AirSwap governance participants and project contributors.
Handling Errors
Provide descriptive errors where possible. In the case of a server side error, return a JSON-RPC error response.
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 123,
  "error": { "code": -33605, "message": "Rate limit exceeded" }
}
The following are error codes in the JSON-RPC specification:
-32700 Parse error
-32600 Invalid Request
-32601 Method not found
-32602 Invalid params
-32603 Internal error
-32000 to -32099 (Reserved for implementation-defined server-errors)
The following are AirSwap specific errors:
-33600 Cannot provide the requested quote or order
-33601 Not trading the requested signerToken senderToken pair
-33602 The specified senderAmount or signerAmount is too low
-33603 The specified senderAmount or signerAmount is too high
-33604 Invalid request parameters
-33605 Rate limit exceeded
-33700 to -33799 (Reserved for implementation specific trading errors)
Debugging with the CLI
Ensure the AirSwap CLI is installed.
$ yarn global add airswap
In development, set the chain to 4 with the airswap chain command. The following examples assume a local development server is running at http://localhost:3000.
Several useful commands can help you debug your server:
airswap rfq:get to request an order directly from your server. (RFQ)
airswap rfq:best to request an order from servers supporting a specific token pair. Once your server is on the registry it will be queried with this command. (RFQ)
airswap quote:stream to subscribe to a pricing stream and make orders for your server. (LastLook)
Adding to the Registry
You can debug all methods using the quote and order AirSwap CLI commands.
Ensure the AirSwap CLI is installed.
$ yarn global add airswap
Once your server is up and running at a public URL, you're ready to add it to the Registry. First, ensure an account is set with the airswap account:import command. You can but are not required to use the same Ethereum account that your Server is using.
Let's take a look at the available Registry commands.
$ airswap registry
AirSwap CLI 1.6.1 — https://airswap.io/
add and remove supported tokens
​
USAGE
  $ airswap registry:COMMAND
​
COMMANDS
  registry:add     add supported tokens to the registry
  registry:enable  enable staking on the registry
  registry:get     get urls from the registry
  registry:list    list supported tokens from registry
  registry:remove  remove supported tokens from the registry
  registry:url     set server url on the registry
First run the following command to enable staking for your account.
$ airswap registry:enable
Now run the following command to set your server url on the registry.
$ airswap registry:url
Now run the following command to add tokens you support.
$ airswap registry:add
To ensure your configuration is correct, you can query tokens that you support on the registry.
$ airswap registry:get
AirSwap CLI 1.6.1 — https://airswap.io/
​
get urls from the registry RINKEBY

Now that your server is running and has been added to the Registry, your quotes will be returned among results of the airswap rfq:best command and aggregators like MetaMask Swaps.
