Flow Agent Trading:
The Secret Plan
Increasing intelligence to increase profits
The Vision: Make Profitable Trading Easy
Flow is on a mission to democratize profitable trading by enabling anyone—regardless of technical skill—to create and deploy their own AI trading agents. Just like autonomous vehicles are reshaping transportation, Flow AI Agents aim to transform how users trade in crypto.
Levels of Autonomy in Trading
Level 1: Basic Trading Bots
- The initial release of Flow provided users with personality-based trading bots that had tools that enabled them to understand and interact with tokens on Solana.
- Users could ask questions, execute trades, and check trends — but the system required full manual oversight.
Level 2: Paper Trading for Enhanced Autonomy
- Adding paper trading brings a layer of autonomy, allowing AI Agents to simulate real trades in real market conditions without financial risk.
- This phase allows users to test strategies, refine their bots, and build confidence while maintaining oversight.
Level 3: Live Trading with Full Autonomy
- The transition to live trading turns on full auto-pilot. AI Agents can analyze markets, execute trades, and adapt strategies in real-time with minimal user intervention.
- Users can focus on high-level strategy, while their Agents handle the day-to-day execution.
Level 4 & Beyond: The Flywheel Effect
- Once live trading is established, well-designed Agents have the potential to become highly profitable, effectively acting as "money printers" for skilled creators.
- Flow introduces a revenue-sharing model: a 1% fee on autonomous Agent trades, where the creator of the trading bot earns 50% of those fees. This incentivizes creators to develop high-performing Agents, fueling a self-sustaining ecosystem:
- Better Agents attract more users.
- More users invest in profitable Agents.
- Increased trading volume generates more revenue for creators and the platform.
The Money Flywheel: How It Works
- Step 1: Creators design and deploy profitable Agents on the Flow platform.
- Step 2: Users discover and invest in these top-performing Agents, increasing their market activity.
- Step 3: As trading volume grows, so does revenue—both for creators and Flow.
- Step 4: Revenue-sharing motivates creators to continuously improve their Agents, attracting even more users and capital.
This cycle amplifies itself, creating a "money flywheel" that benefits creators, users, and the platform alike.
The Future: Accessible, Intelligent, and Profitable Trading
Flow's ultimate goal is to make trading accessible to everyone. By combining AI-driven automation, intuitive tools, and a collaborative ecosystem, we're building a platform where anyone can participate in the financial markets on equal footing with institutions.
As Flow evolves, so will the opportunities for creators and traders to redefine what's possible in autonomous trading.
