If the agent is offline when an execution is due, it will execute on the next run. Gelato mode is fully autonomous and does not require the agent.\nGas costs matter for small DCA amounts. At $2-5 per swap on Ethereum mainnet, a $10/week DCA loses 20-50% to gas. The skill warns if gas exceeds 5% of the execution amount and suggests Base or Arbitrum for cheaper execution.\nSlippage is typically negligible for DCA. DCA amounts are usually small relative to pool TVL, so price impact is minimal. The skill still enforces the slippage tolerance as a safety guard.\nThe DCA config file is the source of truth. The .uniswap/dca-config.json file tracks execution history, next execution time, and strategy parameters. Deleting it effectively cancels the DCA.\nTo cancel a DCA, delete the config file or set status to \"cancelled\".

This skill sets up the configuration and optionally executes the first swap. Subsequent executions depend on the keeper mode: self-execute requires the agent to be running, Gelato mode runs autonomously on-chain.\nSelf-execute mode requires the agent to be online. If the agent is offline when an execution is due, it will execute on the next run. Gelato mode is fully autonomous and does not require the agent.\nGas costs matter for small DCA amounts. At $2-5 per swap on Ethereum mainnet, a $10/week DCA loses 20-50% to gas. The skill warns if gas exceeds 5% of the execution amount and suggests Base or Arbitrum for cheaper execution.\nSlippage is typically negligible for DCA. DCA amounts are usually small relative to pool TVL, so price impact is minimal. The skill still enforces the slippage tolerance as a safety guard.\nThe DCA config file is the source of truth. The .uniswap/dca-config.json file tracks execution history, next execution time, and strategy parameters. Deleting it effectively cancels the DCA.\nTo cancel a DCA, delete the config file or set status to \"cancelled\". For Gelato mode, the Gelato task must also be cancelled on-chain.\nL2 chains are recommended for small DCA amounts. Base and Arbitrum have gas costs 10-100x lower than Ethereum mainnet, making small DCA strategies viable.\nError Handling\nError\tUser-Facing Message\tSuggested Action\nInsufficient balance\t\"Wallet has {X} {inputToken} but DCA needs at least {Y} for 3 executions.\"\tFund wallet or reduce amount per execution\nTarget asset not found\t\"Could not find {targetAsset} on {chain}.\"\tCheck spelling or provide contract address\nNo pools found\t\"No Uniswap pools found for {inputToken}/{targetAsset} on {chain}.\"\tTry a different chain or token pair\nGas too high\t\"Gas cost (~${X}) exceeds 5% of execution amount (${Y}).
