Reference Setups

Deploy crypto agents with a real risk layer

Open reference architectures combining agent frameworks, market intelligence, RiskState, and execution rails. No partnerships required. Every layer is interchangeable.

Framework

Orchestrates the agent

Intelligence

Market data & signals

Risk

Policy governance

Execution

Onchain actions

Intelligence proposes. RiskState permits. Execution acts.

5 setups

Ready-to-assemble agent stacks

Each setup uses open, publicly available components. Pick one that matches your use case, or swap layers to build your own.

Hermes + CoinGlass + RiskState + CoW

BTC/ETH tactical trading

Complexity: MediumActive traders

Derivatives-informed trading agent with funding rate, open interest, and liquidation context. RiskState gates position size and leverage based on real-time market regime. CoW Swap executes with MEV protection.

OpenClaw + DeFiLlama + RiskState + Uniswap

DeFi opportunity execution

Complexity: LowSolo operators

DeFi research and allocation agent. DeFiLlama provides free TVL, yield, and protocol data. RiskState enforces position limits before any deployment. Uniswap executes via UniswapX intents — gasless and MEV-protected.

ElizaOS + Nansen + RiskState + CoW

Smart-money aware execution

Complexity: MediumAdvanced onchain

Wallet-tracking agent powered by the largest crypto-native framework (17K+ stars, 25+ DeFi plugins). Nansen identifies smart-money flows and sector rotations, RiskState decides how much capital is allowed, CoW executes the trade.

Coinbase AgentKit + RiskState + Agentic Wallet

Builder-friendly onchain agent

Complexity: LowDevelopers

Fastest path to a risk-governed agent. AgentKit handles wallet creation, transaction signing, and onchain actions. Plug any data source. RiskState provides the missing governance layer.

LLM: Any compatible model supported by the selected framework. AgentKit, Hermes, ElizaOS, and OpenClaw are all model-agnostic — the model is not a structural choice.

Why these setups

Open components, fixed governance

Open components

No vendor lock-in. Every layer is a public API or open-source SDK. Swap any piece except risk governance.

No partnerships required

All APIs and SDKs are publicly available. You can assemble any of these stacks today.

Battle-tested signals

RiskState ingests 30+ real-time signals from 9+ sources. These setups use the same feeds powering live policy decisions.

Auditable decisions

SHA-256 policy hash on every API call. Full non-repudiation. Your agent can verify that governance was applied.

Build your own setup

These are starting points. Swap any layer. RiskState works with any framework, any data source, and any execution rail that accepts a position limit.
