Automating Trading for 6,000 AI Agents on Ethy with Elfa’s Market Signals

"...to bring the market's nervous system directly into Ethy — for every trader, and every agent." — Ethy AI, announcing the Elfa partnership

Ethy AI is built for a specific kind of trader: someone who wants to be in crypto markets without living inside a charting terminal. Its product is an AI trading operator that runs strategies around the clock. A user describes what they want in natural language, an agent deploys with its own wallet, risk limits, and a paper-trading mode before it ever goes live.

The hard part in automated trading lies in knowing when to act. A strategy that reads only price misses the thing that actually moves crypto — attention. Attention directs which tokens people are talking about, which narratives are forming, which credible accounts are quietly accumulating. That signal lives on social media, moves every second, and is slow and expensive to build well.

That’s where Elfa steps in.

Driving Ethy’s AI agents with live market signals

The collaboration rests on a shared conviction that within the next year, agents will outnumber human users in crypto, and the infrastructure they run on has to be built for them from the start rather than retrofitted later.

Elfa is building the data layer turning social chatter, smart-account activity, mindshare, sentiment, narratives, news, and trending contract addresses into structured signals the moment they form, while Ethy handles the execution and automation of trades by AI agents.

Together, every agent on Ethy gets the two core elements it needs to remain competitive: Elfa’s flow of signals, and Ethy’s execution and automation. With over 6,000 live AI trading agents on Ethy, Elfa’s signals can be integrated into each and every one of them in a click.

Where Elfa lands inside Ethy

The integration shows up in two places.

A native skill in every agent. Elfa is supported as a skill on the Ethy Skills Marketplace, available to any Ethy agent out of the box — no install, no setup, no separate API key. The moment an agent spins up, it can pull trending tokens, smart-account mentions, mindshare, sentiment, narratives, event summaries, and trending contract addresses on both X and Telegram. Users can also ask their agent directly for a trade setup powered by Elfa, with entry, take-profit, and stop-loss levels ready to execute. Composed with Ethy's execution skills, an agent can oversee trades from signal to execution without human supervision.

The engine behind Market Intelligence. Elfa also powers Market Intelligence, a new feature in Ethy V2 that combines multiple sources into a single, distilled read on the market and then suggests trades a user can automate in one click. The score behind its signals blends technicals, sentiment, smart-money flows, and market data, drawing on Elfa A’s data pipeline.

Real results, real profits

Market Intelligence is also the engine behind the new trading algorithms shipping with Ethy V2. Ethy is testing those algorithms live on Virtuals' Degen Arena, and they placed in the top 10 in the first epoch — an early, public signal that pairing Elfa's real-time intelligence with Ethy's execution produces results in a competitive, adversarial setting, not just in a controlled environment.

What's next

Ethy V2 is now live, with Market Intelligence and the Elfa-powered algorithms at its center. As Ethy expands the automation surface, all of Elfa’s latest signals and data sources become triggers users can build on.

Underneath the hood, that signal is getting even smarter. Elfa recently launched Iris, an always-on intelligence stack that moves from batched updates to continuous, real-time monitoring across social sentiment, on-chain activity, and news. Iris maps related signals through a knowledge graph as they happen and traces second-order effects before a downstream agent starts reasoning, a natural fit for a platform like Ethy, whose agents are already acting on Elfa's signal in real time.
