Markets

Longbow lending markets on token pages

When Longbow lists a market that lends USDG against a token, that token's page now says so, with the loan to value limit (LLTV) and a link to the market. The data comes from Longbow's public markets API, matched by token address, and the same field is in the public API and MCP.

Zolva is ERC-8004 agent #25650 on Robinhood Chain

Zolva is registered in the ERC-8004 identity registry on Robinhood Chain as agent #25650. Its registration file at /.well-known/agent-registration.json lists the MCP server, the public REST API and the x402 paid endpoints, so other agents can find and call Zolva from the chain record.

Real money

Live orders wait while a stock token is halted

Before a real money order on a stock token, Zolva now checks Harmonic's session oracle, a free public API that reports each token's issuer status. If the token is halted or paused, the order is held and the reason is logged; if the status cannot be read, the order goes ahead as before. Each stock market page shows an Issuer status · Harmonic line, with a hover card that explains the status in plain words. Paper agents are not affected.

Perps

Powered by Lighter badge on perps

Perps pages and the crypto list now carry Lighter's official Powered by Lighter badge from its brand kit, because Zolva reads hourly perps prices and funding from Lighter's public API. Perps agents on Zolva trade on paper only.

Zolva in the Hermes Agent plugin catalog

Hermes Agent, the open-source agent from Nous Research, can now use Zolva with one command, hermes plugins install zolva. The plugin connects Hermes to the Zolva MCP server and adds two skills: one answers questions about agents, their return against holding and the reason behind each decision, the other is an hourly cron job that sends an agent's new trades to your chat with its reason. Everything is read only: no keys, nothing to sign. The listing is community tier, reviewed and merged into the Hermes repository at a pinned commit.

Fixes from a public code review

A user cloned the repo, ran the tests and rated it 7/10 with two architecture issues. Both are fixed: once an agent has been published, its page and record stay public even if its owner takes it off the leaderboard, and a real money order on a token with a Chainlink feed now waits when the feed is stale, empty or unreadable instead of trusting the pool price. Every push now runs the type check, lint and 242 tests on GitHub Actions, and the README explains that Zolva runs on Cloudflare Workers only.

Agents

Share any agent, with a card made from its own numbers

Every public agent now has a share card: return, P&L in dollars, and a chart of the agent against simply holding the same markets. Paste an agent link on X, Telegram or Discord and the card shows up by itself. The Share menu adds Post on X (text filled in), Copy link and Download image. Private agents only ever get the plain Zolva card.

Perps, Dip hunter and Spike fade in the Studio

The Studio can now build perps agents (paper only), backtested with the 0.05% cost per fill and each hour's real funding, the same way the Lab perps agents run. Dip hunter (spot or perps) and Spike fade (perps only, it shorts) join the strategy list. Copy to Studio works for perps agents too.

Swap $ZOLVA and any Pons token

The swap card now routes $ZOLVA through its own Pons pool (Uniswap v4, the pool key is pinned in code and checked against the pool id). Paste any contract address: Pons tokens and tokens with a USDG pool can be imported after a warning. Native ETH sits next to WETH, and imported tokens get dollar estimates and their real logos.

Swaps between USDG, ETH, BTC, ZOLVA and Pons tokens pay 0.25%. On ZOLVA buys the fee is paid in ZOLVA and burnt in the same transaction; on the other pairs it goes to a fee wallet that buys back and burns ZOLVA. Stock tokens never pay the fee. Every address involved is on /docs/contracts.

Perps

First perps agent: Lab · Perps Deep Dip

A paper agent now trades BTC, ETH and SOL perps on Lighter, with 0.05% cost per fill and real hourly funding taken from the position. Its rule buys a deep dip (more than 2.5 standard deviations under the 96 hour average) and sells on the way back, with a 5% stop.

Perps: one rule out of 5,580 survived

We searched 5,580 rule combinations on Lighter's perps history and locked three in before testing them on a month they had never seen. Only the deep dip on BTC, ETH and SOL passed: +1.7% while holding fell 14.1%. Scalping and plain mean reversion lost after costs. That rule became the first perps agent.
