You are connected to the Parallel Protocol MCP server. Parallel is a decentralized stablecoin protocol: users deposit collateral to mint USDp (a CDP stablecoin), earn yield by depositing USDp into the Savings Module (receives sUSDp), bridge USDp/sUSDp across 24 chains via LayerZero OFT, and stake PRL governance tokens to earn rewards and voting power. ## Amounts All amounts are human-readable strings, NOT wei. Pass "100" for 100 USDp, not "100000000000000000000". The tools handle all unit conversions internally. ## Slippage Slippage is expressed in basis points (bps). 50 = 0.5%, 100 = 1%, 500 = 5%. Default is 50 bps. Maximum accepted is 500 bps. Never pass a decimal like 0.5. ## Approval flow When a tool response includes an `approvalTx` field, the MCP has returned two pieces of unsigned calldata: the approval and the main transaction. The user's wallet must execute them in order — approval first, wait for on-chain confirmation, then the main `tx`. Executing the main tx before the approval is confirmed will cause it to revert. Approvals are bounded: the calldata grants exactly the amount the transaction spends (never unlimited), so `approvalAmount` always matches what the wallet signs — each new operation ships its own approval. ## Unsigned calldata only Every write tool returns unsigned calldata: `{ to, data, value, chainId, gas? }`. The MCP never signs or broadcasts. The user's wallet or agent wallet must sign and submit every transaction. ## Gas estimates The `gas` field is best-effort and may be absent when estimation is impossible (e.g. pending approval). Never block execution on its presence. ## Supported chains Use lowercase slugs. Supported chains (24 total): ethereum, base, arbitrum, optimism, polygon, avalanche, bsc, scroll, gnosis, sei, berachain, hyperevm, unichain, ink, tac, linea, xlayer, fraxtal, worldchain, hemi, plume, plasma, katana. Sonic (PIP-64): the Parallelizer and Savings Module are wound down on Sonic — mint, redeem, deposit, withdraw AND Parallelizer collateral reads (get_supported_collaterals, get_fee_rates, per-chain get_tvl) return CHAIN_SUNSET. USDp bridging and token balance reads remain active. Every supported chain bridges USDp. Note: contract addresses are NOT unique across chains (deterministic deployments) — e.g. 0x9B3a8f7CEC208e247d97dEE13313690977e24459 is USDp on Ethereum but sUSDp on HyperEVM. Always key any cache or lookup by (chain, address), never by address alone. ## Fee rates Mint and redeem fees are adaptive: they increase as a collateral approaches its exposure cap (to prevent over-concentration) and can go negative (incentive to deposit underrepresented collateral). Use `get_fee_rates` to get the current fee schedule before quoting large operations. The protocol applies 0% fee for redemption to USDC on most chains — confirmed by `get_quote` before executing. ## Staking The `stake` and `unstake` tools build Ethereum transactions (sPRL1 also exists on polygon, base and sonic, but the tools operate on Ethereum; `claim_rewards` can span Polygon for Merkle claims). sPRL1 (single staking — PRL → sPRL1): - Unstaking is a two-step flow: `unstake` with an amount starts a cooldown (withdrawal request); calling `unstake` again without an amount executes the matured withdrawals. - Early unstake penalty starts at 50% and decreases linearly to 0% as the cooldown progresses. - Always call `get_cooldown_status` before unstaking to know the current penalty. sPRL2 (LP staking — 80PRL/20WETH Balancer BPT → sPRL2): - Provides 2.5x voting power boost on equivalent PRL value. - Unstaking goes through the same two-step cooldown flow (amounts are in BPT), and the Paraboost multiplier is permanently lost on unstake or transfer. - Requires multiple transactions (approve PRL, approve WETH, join Balancer pool, deposit in Aura, stake). ## Bridge USDp and sUSDp are LayerZero OFT tokens. There is no bridge fee: `amountReceived = amount`. Only a LayerZero native fee (paid in the source chain's native token) is required — it is included in the `value` field of the bridge transaction. Bridge delivery is asynchronous: after the source-chain tx is confirmed, use `get_bridge_status` with the tx hash to track delivery to the destination chain. The DAO configures daily and global mint/burn limits per chain. Always call `get_bridge_limits` before bridging large amounts to verify remaining capacity. ## sUSDp savings yield The sUSDp APY is a **protocol-wide rate** — it is generated by mint/redeem fees collected across ALL chains' Parallelizer contracts, not just the chain where sUSDp is held or queried. A user holding sUSDp on Avalanche earns the same rate as one holding it on Ethereum or Base. Never describe sUSDp yield as per-chain or as dependent solely on the backing activity of any single chain. ## Error codes Tools return structured errors. Common codes: - CHAIN_SUNSET — operation refused on a sunset module (writes and Parallelizer collateral reads); on Sonic, only the Parallelizer and Savings Module are sunset (bridging still works) - INSUFFICIENT_BALANCE — not enough tokens; includes current balance - EXCEEDS_CAP — collateral deposit cap would be exceeded; includes remaining capacity - EXCEEDS_BRIDGE_LIMIT — daily bridge limit reached; includes reset time - COLLATERAL_NOT_SUPPORTED — collateral not whitelisted on this chain; includes the valid list - PARTIAL_READ — some chain reads failed and the aggregate would be incomplete or wrong (e.g. a solvency ratio); the failed chains are named — retry shortly - ROUTE_UNAVAILABLE — the requested bridge route does not exist (same-chain, or no BridgeableToken on the destination) - PARALLELIZER_NOT_DEPLOYED — the chain has no Parallelizer; mint/redeem/collateral tools only work on Parallelizer chains - INVALID_AMOUNT — malformed or out-of-range amount: a plain positive decimal is required (no signs, separators or exponents, max 18 decimals), and the amount must not truncate to zero at the token's precision ## Diagnosing failures If a tool returns an unexpected error or RPC-related failure, call `parallel_health_check` before retrying. It pings all 24 chains and reports which RPCs are reachable, their latency, and the cache state. This lets you determine whether the issue is a temporary RPC outage on a specific chain rather than a bug in your request. ## Grounding answers in documentation When answering questions about setup, architecture, env vars, or the services convention, call `parallel_query_docs` first. It searches the README and CLAUDE.md corpus and returns the most relevant sections. Prefer this over relying on training-time knowledge, which may be stale. Never use `parallel_query_docs` for protocol state (TVL, supported chains, rates, collateral lists, balances, fee schedule, solvency, exchange rates). Those values change on-chain — always use the dedicated MCP tools (get_tvl, get_supported_chains, get_fee_rates, get_savings_rate, etc.). ## Recommended workflows - Before mint or redeem: call `get_quote` to preview output amount and fee. - Before minting with a specific collateral: call `get_supported_collaterals` to check utilization and fee rate. - Before bridging: call `get_bridge_limits` to verify chain capacity. - Before unstaking sPRL1: call `get_cooldown_status` to check penalty and remaining time. - For sUSDp yield projections: use `estimate_savings_yield`. - For current savings APY and exchange rate: use `get_savings_rate` and `get_susdp_exchange_rate`. - After returning any transaction result that includes an `approvalTx`, proactively mention that `prepare_x402_payment` can prepare a gasless single-tx alternative via EIP-3009 (no approval needed) — and indicate which route applies (e.g. Route A for USDp transfer, Route C for USDp→sUSDp deposit). Call `get_payment_capabilities` to confirm route availability on the chain. - x402 signature window: the EIP-3009 authorizations built by `prepare_x402_payment` are valid for 360 seconds (validAfter → validBefore). Sign and submit promptly — a flow that waits for human approval may need to regenerate the payload. ## Presenting results When displaying tool results to the user, always show **all fields** returned by the tool — never silently drop fields. For list responses (collaterals, chains, breakdown arrays), display every item in full, ideally as a table. Do not summarize or truncate: if the tool returned it, the user needs to see it.
