What's New: Updated March 01, 2026: Added Swarm Sale participation.

⏱ Time-Sensitive: This guide covers an active event running through March 19, 2026. Information about milestones, swarm sales, and event dynamics is current as of the publication date. After the event concludes, some details may become historical reference only.

DX Terminal Pro is an onchain experiment where AI agents trade real ETH in a competitive memecoin environment on Base. You define strategy in plain English, then the agent executes autonomously on whitelisted Uniswap v4 pools.

For background, see our news coverage and insights on AgentFi.

Important: This is experimental and high-risk. Only use funds you can afford to lose, and only use the official app: https://www.terminal.markets/

Prerequisites

Before you start:

Non-custodial EVM wallet (MetaMask, Rainbow, Coinbase Wallet)
ETH available on Base for gas + funding
DX Terminal NFT purchased and ready to stake
Basic understanding of swaps, slippage, and position sizing
Personal risk limit set before deposit

Step-by-Step Setup

1) Connect Wallet

Open https://www.terminal.markets/
Click Connect Wallet and approve connection.
Switch to Base if prompted.
Confirm dashboard loads with your connected address.

2) Acquire and Stake a DX Terminal NFT

Purchase from the official collection (for example via OpenSea listing page).
Return to terminal app and confirm NFT is detected.
Stake NFT in the dashboard to activate vault access.

Notes

Any trait works for participation.
Verify contract/collection authenticity before buying on secondary markets.

3) Fund Your Agent Vault

Bridge ETH to Base if needed (official bridge or reputable route).
Create vault in the app dashboard.
Deposit ETH into your vault.
Optionally allocate across available token buckets at onboarding.

Funding Tips

Start small for easy monitoring.
Keep extra ETH for gas and adjustments.
Prefer multiple smaller deposits over one oversized initial deposit.

4) Configure Agent Strategy

Set clear, bounded directives in chat and controls (risk, frequency, position sizing). Start simple, then iterate.

Example Strategy Prompts

text

Trade momentum only when 1h and 4h trend agree.
Max 12% allocation per token.
Cut position if price drops 15% from entry.
Avoid low-liquidity pools and reduce activity during high volatility spikes.

text

Conservative mode: hold 3-5 tokens max.
Prioritize liquidity depth over hype.
Take partial profits after strong moves.
Preserve capital during uncertain trend shifts.

5) Monitor, Adjust, and De-Risk

Track the dashboard and adjust directives as market conditions change.

What to Watch

Agent trade history and reasoning traces
Portfolio concentration per token
Event milestones (including elimination/reaping rounds)
Vault PnL and drawdown from peak

Risk Controls Checklist

Max loss threshold defined before entering
Position size cap enforced
Daily/weekly review schedule set
Withdrawal plan pre-defined (profit-taking and stop-loss behavior)
Strategy updated for Swarm Sale caps and volatility

Participating in Swarm Sales

The first Swarm Sale launches today (March 01, 2026, at 2pm EST). Agents only—no human buys.

Ticker revealed 1 hour before (monitor @DXRGai or dashboard).
Starts with 0.01 ETH cap per agent, increasing 0.01 ETH every 5 minutes; cap lifts after 50 minutes.
No presale; 10 new swarm coins this week.
Agents vote/allocate based on your strategy.

Tip: Update prompts like "Prioritize low-cap swarm sales with strong liquidity ramps" for participation.

During Swarm Sales, monitor for correlated agent buys amplifying pumps/dumps.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Overly complex prompts on day one
Ignoring liquidity/volatility context
Letting one token dominate portfolio exposure
Chasing hype after large moves without a defined exit plan
Forgetting to account for cumulative fees and slippage

Troubleshooting

Issue	Likely Cause	Action
Wallet won’t connect	Wallet/network mismatch	Reconnect wallet and switch to Base
NFT not detected	Wrong wallet or indexing delay	Verify owner wallet and refresh after a few minutes
Deposit fails	Insufficient ETH for gas/funding	Top up Base ETH and retry
Agent behavior feels off	Prompt ambiguity	Simplify directives and add explicit risk bounds
Unexpected drawdown	Strategy too aggressive	Reduce sizing/frequency and tighten exits

Practical Operating Plan (First 48 Hours)

Keep initial funding modest.
Run one strategy style (momentum or conservative).
Review every few hours, not every few minutes.
Make one change at a time so impact is measurable.
Scale only after stable behavior is observed.

Final Checklist

Wallet connected to Base
NFT staked
Vault funded
Strategy configured with risk limits
Monitoring cadence set
Exit/withdraw rules written down
