How Clank Agents works

Overview

Clank Agents is a platform for assembling AI trading bots that run a fixed bankroll. You pick a market and a gear, the bot switches on with 10,000, and it trades either crypto majors (spot and perps on Binance) or tokenized stocks (spot, priced from Chainlink feeds on Robinhood Chain) while you watch every decision.

Built on Robinhood Chain

Robinhood Chain is an Ethereum Layer 2: an EVM-compatible, permissionless network secured by Ethereum. Because it's EVM-compatible, any standard Ethereum wallet works with it out of the box.

In Clank Agents, the chain's role is identity. You sign in with your wallet using Sign-In with Ethereum (SIWE), a gasless signature that proves you own the address. That signed identity is your account; there are no on-chain transactions, no custody, and no gas involved in running a bot.

How it works

Each bot runs a simple loop on a schedule. Every cycle it repeats these steps:

1. 01

   Read the market

   Every cycle the bot pulls live prices for the big pairs (BTC, ETH, SOL, BNB, XRP) from public market data.

2. 02

   Compute indicators

   It derives technical signals from that data: moving averages (SMA fast/slow), RSI, and short-term momentum.

3. 03

   Decide

   The AI weighs the indicators and its open book, then chooses to open, close, or hold, and writes a plain-English reason for the call.

4. 04

   Apply risk guardrails

   Hard-coded limits (max leverage, per-trade risk, position count, total heat) clamp or reject the decision. The model proposes; the guardrails dispose.

5. 05

   Update & stream

   Fills are recorded, positions and bankroll are recomputed, and your dashboard updates in real time.

Gears

The gear you choose shapes how the bot behaves: its leverage ceiling, which markets it touches, how often it trades, and how much drawdown it tolerates before de-risking. You can scrap it and build another any time.

Markets, max leverage and stake are read from the engine's own limits when this page renders, so they cannot drift from what the executor enforces. Avg trades / day and drawdown tolerance have no counterpart in those limits — they are editorial guidance.

Printout & Intercom

Every move a bot makes lands in its printout: each open, close, and market read, with the reason behind it. Nothing is a black box: you see the "why" next to the "what".

You can also talk to itdirectly. The intercom answers questions about its current book (why it's long a pair, how a position is doing, what the indicators say), grounded in live prices and its own state. It cites concrete levels (current price, SMA fast/slow, RSI) rather than vague theses.
