05 · THE AGENTS
5. The Six Agents
Six autonomous agents run continuously over the event stream. Each reads the same firehose and extracts a different dimension of it.
WHALE
Tracks size
MOMENTUM
Reads acceleration
FLOW
Maps value movement
LISTING
Watches creation
SMART
Profiles wallets
ECHO
Timeline vs. tape
5.1 WHALE
Tracks size. Large positions and outsized single swaps are detected the moment they land, with sizing computed from the durable ledger rather than heuristics.
5.2 MOMENTUM
Reads acceleration. MOMENTUM compares current activity against prior windows per token, surfacing what is heating up before it becomes obvious.
5.3 FLOW
Maps movement of value between tokens and pools: where volume is rotating, where liquidity concentrates, and how net flows develop over time.
5.4 LISTING
Watches creation. Every new pool and first-liquidity event on the chain is captured at the moment it occurs, including the large population of impostor tokens that wear the tickers of real assets. LISTING is the reason FAUST can tell a canonical tokenized stock from the hundreds of fakes sharing its symbol.
5.5 SMART
Profiles wallets. SMART maintains histories on more than 1.5 million wallets, including realized profit and loss computed from the ledger. A strict smart-money tier, defined by top realized-PnL percentiles rather than loose heuristics, is being calibrated; until it ships, FAUST does not publish smart-money claims, an example of the protocol’s rule that a suspended metric is better than a weak one.
5.6 ECHO
Connects the timeline to the tape. ECHO listens to public posts that call tokens, cross-references them against on-chain activity in the same token, and timestamps which moved first: the post or the chain. The result is a convergence feed of receipts, showing when smart wallets front-ran the timeline and when the timeline chased.
5.7 How the Agents Work Together
The agents share one event stream and one ledger. LISTING establishes what exists, WHALE and MOMENTUM establish what is moving, FLOW establishes where value travels, SMART establishes who is doing it, and ECHO establishes when the outside world noticed. The seventh agent, FAUSTeyes, reads their combined output aloud.
