Product terms & risk disclosure

TradeAgent is a custodial trading platform. You open an account, deposit supported assets, and may enable autonomous trading agents that operate within policy limits you configure. Every account balance is tracked in an internal ledger and reconciled against blockchain activity.

TradeAgent is an early-stage product (MVP). Features, supported networks and assets may change, be interrupted, or be withdrawn.

Deposits are made to a deposit address that the platform assigns to your account automatically. You do not need — and are not asked for — a wallet application, browser extension, private key or seed phrase. Never share a private key or seed phrase with anyone claiming to act for TradeAgent; we will never ask for one.

Deposited funds are held in platform-controlled wallets and may be pooled and managed operationally. Your balance is credited once the deposit is confirmed on the blockchain and recorded in the ledger. Custodial holding means you rely on the platform’s operational and security practices; it is not self-custody.

Agents execute automated strategies within the policy limits attached to your account. Agents can lose money. No agent, strategy, or configuration eliminates market risk, and enabling an agent is your decision alone.

Execution fees, when applicable, are charged as disclosed in the product at the time you enable an agent.

Crypto-assets are volatile. The value of your deposits and positions can go down as well as up, and you can lose the entire amount you deposit. Past performance does not predict future results, and nothing in the product is a promise, projection or guarantee of returns.

Additional risks include: smart-contract failures, blockchain reorganizations or congestion, oracle and market-data errors, stablecoin de-pegging, counterparty and custody risk, operational outages, and regulatory change. Any of these can result in partial or total loss, delayed withdrawals, or suspended service.

Deposit only what you can afford to lose.

Nothing on this platform — including agent descriptions, statistics, or notifications — is investment, legal, accounting or tax advice. You are solely responsible for evaluating whether using the platform is appropriate for your situation, and for your own tax and reporting obligations.

You must be of legal age in your jurisdiction and legally permitted to use crypto-asset services there. You are responsible for the security of your login credentials and for all activity on your account. We may suspend or close accounts to comply with law, prevent abuse, or protect the platform and its users.

The service is provided “as is”, without warranty of uninterrupted availability. We may modify, suspend or discontinue features — including deposits, withdrawals, specific networks, assets, or agents — where operationally or legally required. Material changes to these terms will be reflected on this page.
