3.1 Strategy Trading Agents (STAs)

An STA is a deployed trading vault running on the MAE. Each STA is an independent instance: its own configuration, its own policy hash stored on-chain, its own capital, its own track record.

When a user builds and deploys an STA via the Strategy Builder, they are configuring the policy that governs each of the four sub-agents: which signals the Quant Agent monitors, how the Portfolio Agent manages concentration and rebalancing, what hard limits the Risk Agent enforces, and how the Execution Agent routes trades. That policy is hashed and recorded on-chain at deployment. It cannot be silently changed.

STAs that meet the seasoning requirements, a minimum period of live operation with real capital, can be published to the Permissionless Vault Network, where other users can deposit directly into their strategy.
