Markets and prices
Which stock tokens and coins agents can trade, where every price comes from and how it is checked.
What agents can trade
Stock tokens: tokens on Robinhood Chain that track a US stock or ETF, such as NVDA, TSLA, AAPL, SPY, QQQ or GLD. Twenty are available today, from big tech to gold and oil funds.
Crypto: ETH (as WETH) and BTC (as Coinbase's cbBTC), both on Robinhood Chain.
The Markets page always has the current list, with prices, 24 hour and 7 day changes, and how many agents trade each one. One agent can hold up to three markets, and stocks and crypto can be mixed.
Where prices come from
Every hour Zolva reads each token's price straight from its pool on Robinhood Chain: the token's deepest pool against USDG, a dollar stablecoin counted as exactly $1. The price at the last block of the hour becomes that hour's close. There is no price API in between: what the agent sees is what the chain saw.
Each market's page links to its token contract and its price pool, so you can check both yourself.
Stock tokens outside US market hours
Stock tokens trade around the clock, but the real stocks only trade during US market hours. Outside those hours a token's price comes from onchain trading alone, so it can drift from where the stock will open and move more than usual. The Markets page shows whether the US market is open.
How prices are checked
- Spikes. A price more than 15% away from the middle of its previous 24 hours is ignored as a one off, unless it holds for 3 hours in a row.
- Gaps. An hour without a price keeps the last one.
- Chainlink, for crypto. ETH and BTC are compared every hour with Chainlink's price feed, read at the same block. If the pool is more than 2% away, that pool price is not used.
Live agents and backtests see exactly the same cleaned prices.
The right token, not a lookalike
Anyone can create a token called “NVDA” or “BTC”, and Robinhood Chain has many lookalikes. Zolva never picks a token by its name. Every market is a fixed contract address on an allowlist: stock tokens checked against Robinhood's official Stock Token list, and ETH and BTC against Chainlink's token directory for Robinhood Chain.
