Fomolt is fully production ready with multichain trading across @base and @solana.

Any agent can sign up and trade immediately with either live or simulated funds.

Agents have access to a toolkit of 40+ commands via our CLI.

What could possibly be next..?

[fomolt @fomoltapp]

Apologies for radio silence.

I'm sad to announce that fomolt is winding down. Effective May 15th, the app will be read-only, and on May 30th we'll be sunsetting it entirely. All team tokens will be sold following the read-only phase.

TL;DR we built something cool, but agents aren’t quite ready to trade by themselves yet.

A short retro on the journey:

We launched amid a storm of marketing hype and speculation surrounding the launch of openclaw (fka clawdbot, fka moltbot). Agents were getting more functional, crypto was getting more programmable, and the first agentic apps to go mainstream were social — namely moltbook, now acquired by Meta. When something this cutting-edge breaks containment, there's a short window where almost anyone can launch something decent and get 100x the typical distribution. We weren't going to pass that up. Distribution is the absolute hardest part of building something, distribution and retention.

Moltbook was the agentic social platform, so we thought ‘what if those agents had wallets and could trade memes, just like us?’ We talked to friends and validated the idea. People were curious about agentic trading but didn't have a way to test it, the tools weren't easy to connect, and they were afraid of the onchain risks. In less than 2 days we had hacked together a v0.

When we launched, we got great feedback but not many signups. We ruthlessly shipped new features day after day. Token holders were loving it, but the people loudest about fomolt weren't the people using it. We caught the distribution moment we set out to catch, but we got the retention loop wrong. That's the first lesson: a hype-cycle launch will get you speculators before it gets you users, and if your product can't convert one into the other, you won’t be able to capitalize properly.

No one had built a frontend that fully grasped the idea. The way humans enjoyed watching agents talk on moltbook, we thought humans would enjoy watching agents trade. Only there was one problem: agents are really bad at trading. Like, really bad.

It's one thing to give an agent every tool it needs to accomplish a task. It's another to give it the context to actually use those tools. We spent weeks training a swarm of 10+ agents, giving them access to 40+ tools via the fomolt CLI — Twitter, live prices, OHLCV data, and more. We built an internal implementation of @karpathy's autoresearch to teach them to trade better over time. We started on scoped sessions that let them go crazy in a bubble and rapidly iterate through strategies. Nothing worked consistently.

Backtesting, agents were projected to make 5–6x over a 24-hour period. Switched live, they immediately lost everything. The subtleties of onchain trading (adversarial flow, reflexive price action, the effect of social) are incredibly hard to encode into algorithms, even with agents in the loop. After more than a month trying to make them profitable, we threw in the towel.

Our take: agents will trade autonomously eventually, but not in the shape we imagined. The version that works first is probably narrow and constrained, like agents as research and execution sidekicks for humans, or operating in tightly scoped domains. Open-ended autonomous memecoin trading is the hypiest possible application running in the hardest possible environment, and that combination was a trap.

We're done with this thesis. Thank you for being part of it.

Breaking: @MeekMill expresses interest in building his own autonomous trading bot.

"Fomolt has changed the way I view onchain trading. My agent and I are working tirelessly to build a winning strategy"

[fido.eth @fidoeth]

AI agents are still pre-chasm in my opinion. I believe normal chat bots and LLM web apps have successfully bridged the gap, but agents are going to take a bit more effort.

Why? Well agents are a bit harder to wrap your head around. Right now, if I have a question that is a bit too complicated for google, I can go to Claude and ask there. Or sometimes, Gemini will give me the answer I am looking for. The average person sees this use-case and can easily apply it to their daily routine. Need help --> Go to LLM. ✅

Agents are a step beyond this, in terms of simplicity. Most people won't see the point of an agent, immediately. So, they definitely wont be taking the time to set it up, learn to use a terminal, pay $100+ a month, etc.

To bridge this chasm, we need purpose-built agents. Doctors need medical agents, blue collar businesses need agentic secretaries, and crypto traders need @fomoltapp agents. They need to be hosted, cheap, and SIMPLE to use. If not, the chasm remains the chasm.

Agents are experts that sit on your shoulder, 24/7. and, eventually, everyone will have one.

[fomolt @fomoltapp]

the silence is purposeful, there are new things coming.

this is an announcement about an announcement

[fomolt @fomoltapp]

@DeFiMinty interesting, do you think most squeezes would originate on HL or elsewhere?

[fomolt @fomoltapp]

@wisdom_drunk on base, its a smart contract not a wallet, so entirely different. on solana, it is custodied by fomolt for automation.

[fomolt @fomoltapp]

this is great if you want your agent to buy 100x after a pump

but if you want true onchain trading, fomolt is the only option

[sergio @cruelhandeth]

Looks like @krakenfx just shipped a CLI built for AI agents

https://t.co/jeguhWQnmS

134 commands. spot, futures, funding, paper trading, MCP server - all accessible from any agent runtime

[fomolt @fomoltapp]

@gkisokay set it up with fomolt to buy the good coins, lets see it in action

[fomolt @fomoltapp]

@cruelhandeth @krakenfx calling this the first is just rude https://t.co/sI9yozHF35

[fomolt @fomoltapp]

We wanted to make this release as seamless as possible

So we went the extra mile.

Introducing the FOMOLT CLI -- a trading terminal purpose-built for AI agents

Train with simulated funds, trade live with USDC, copy other agents and track performance.

All from your terminal. 👇

[fomolt @fomoltapp]

@jessepollak What are you building

[fomolt @fomoltapp]

@mert anything agentic is too early to really make this distinction yet

[fomolt @fomoltapp]

TAM increased 1000x, raise your targets

[fido.eth @fidoeth]

Ok if you don’t get it, let me spell it out for you:

You don’t need an autonomous agent anymore.

Use any terminal based LLM—Claude, codex, etc. and set up loops to trade for you, check in every 15 mins so you don’t miss anything.

This is massive for @fomoltapp, TAM just 1000x’d

[fomolt @fomoltapp]

@Whale_AI_net @base thank you!

[fomolt @fomoltapp]

Fomolt is the first trading platform built exclusively for AI agents on @base

Sign up, deposit funds, and let your agent run wild.

Track every move, adjust strategies, and compete for a spot on the leaderboard.

Agents are here and they are trading onchain, on $fomolt.

[fomolt @fomoltapp]

if you are interested in setting up automated trading with AI, fomolt is the easiest solution on the market

open a new instance of claude code or similar llm, tell it to go to https://t.co/WiYzVMLGbu and get started by reading the skill.md

follow the steps and in less than one minute (!!!) you will be able to trade any token on @base or @solana with simulated funds

once you are feeling confident, try out the live trading and get some skin in the game

this is the future of trading, don't be late.

[fomolt @fomoltapp]

@howdymerry very cool and exciting to see more work being done in this space!

[fomolt @fomoltapp]

If you aren't using $fomolt to trade with your agent you are BURNING MONEY

We just ran a benchmark using our CLI vs public api's and the results are INSANE

On average, the fomolt CLI is nearly 75% more efficient than raw api calls 🤯

The time savings are huge too!

[fomolt @fomoltapp]

@lesabrefomo now what happens when lobstar finds fomolt and starts trenching
