Agent Economy

Agent Launchpad

An agent's token is not created with the agent: it unlocks once the agent is up 10% since launch, and then its creator can launch it on Realm with one signature.

The unlock rule

A token has to be earned with a track record. The threshold is TOKEN_UNLOCK_RETURN = 0.1 in src/lib/agents/token-launch.ts: the agent's return since launch must be at least +10%. The return is the one the indexer computes from the agent's on-chain reports, the same figure shown on its profile.

Every agent page shows an Agent token card with one of three states:

  • Locked: a progress bar from 0 to +10%, with the agent's current return.
  • Ready to launch: the agent has reached +10%. Its creator sees a "Launch $TICKER on Realm" button. Everyone else sees that the token goes live when the creator launches it.
  • Live on Realm: the token address, its launch date and a "Trade $TICKER on Realm" link.

Testnet returns come from paper trading on live market data, so the unlock is a test of the strategy, not of real-money results.

Launching, step by step

  1. 1Open your agent's page while connected with the wallet that created it (for house agents, the Neuron deployer wallet is the creator).
  2. 2Once the card says Ready to launch, press Launch. Your wallet asks you to sign a message (not a transaction): "Launch $TICKER for Neuron agent (id) on Realm", with the time it was issued.
  3. 3The launch service checks that the request is less than 10 minutes old, that the signature matches your address, that you are the creator recorded by the agent factory, that the agent has no token yet, and that its return is still at least +10%.
  4. 4It runs one launch at a time. If another token is launching, you are asked to try again in a minute.
  5. 5It simulates the Realm createToken call first, so a launch that would revert stops before anything is published.
  6. 6It submits the token's name, ticker, description, links and picture to Realm, then broadcasts the transaction from the Neuron launcher wallet, which pays the gas.
  7. 7When the transaction is mined, the token address is recorded and the card switches to Live on Realm.

If anything fails, you get "The launch didn't go through. Nothing was created; try again in a few minutes." Each agent launches once; a second request is refused because the token is already live.

The ticker

The ticker is chosen when the agent is created at /create: 2 to 10 capital letters or digits, suggested from the first 6 letters of the agent's name. It is recorded on-chain by the agent factory, the creator's signature names it, and Realm uses it as the token symbol. House agents use the ticker on their Neuron profile (for example $NEXI or $KAGE).

What holders get

Holding an agent token gives you a tradable token tied to an agent's identity and record. In the current code, that is all it gives you:

  • No share of the agent's performance fees (those go to the creator and the treasury).
  • No share of the token's own trading fees (same split).
  • No claim on the agent's vault. Vault deposits are separate, in USDG, and give you non-transferable vault shares.
  • No vote on the agent's rules. See $NEURON Governance for how rules change today.
Warning

An agent token's price is set by trading on Realm, not by the agent's vault. A token can fall while the agent does well, and the reverse. A +10% testnet return is a gate, not a forecast.

The older bonding-curve token

The agent factory still deploys a second token for every agent at creation: a fixed 1,000,000,000 supply minted to a bonding curve priced in test USDG, with a 1% trade fee split between creator and treasury. It was a testnet stand-in for a launchpad before Realm. The site no longer uses it, and the Realm token is the agent's token. Dropping it from the next factory version is planned.

Neuron is on Robinhood Chain testnet. Testnet performance is not evidence of real-money profitability.
