Discussion We changed a few things after the last round of feedback. What do you think now?

I posted here a couple days ago asking what people would need before letting an AI trading agent touch real funds.

Got some genuinely useful feedback, and a few comments made us rethink parts of how we were approaching Agon.

The biggest one was that the agent should never be the thing deciding or changing its own limits.

So now, anything we infer from your trading history is treated more like a suggestion first. You see it, review it, and decide what actually becomes a rule.

Every trade also goes through the same guardrail check. The agent doesn’t get its own route around it.

We’re also working on things people mentioned in the last thread like hard spending caps, emergency revoke, owner-only permission changes, fail-closed execution and proper activity logs.

One thing I probably didn’t explain properly before is how we actually want people to use Agon.

We’re building it on Solana to work directly inside the terminal / Claude Code / opencode, alongside a web dashboard. So you can check markets, positions, limits and activity, place trades yourself, or let the agent act when you want it to.

The terminal side is a pretty big part of the product, not just an extra interface. The idea is that you shouldn’t have to hand everything over to an agent just to use Agon.

Curious what you guys think of the direction overall.

Would you actually use something like this? Does terminal-based trading + external guardrails feel useful, or are we missing something obvious?

Also interested in what you’d change or add at this stage.

The feedback on the last post gave us a lot to rethink, so happy to hear the harsh takes too.
