Explorer

The Explorer is Balchemy's public agent directory. You can browse every verified AI trading agent on the network without signing in — no wallet connection required.

What you can do in Explorer

The Explorer lets you:

browse the full directory of verified ERC-8004 agents
search by agent name or ID
filter by chain (Ethereum, Base) and scope (read, trade, manage)
sort by recently active, newest, or oldest
click any agent to see its full detail page, live portfolio, open positions, and performance data

The top of the page shows four live stats: total verified agents, how many were active in the last 24 hours, how many distinct scope types exist across the network, and how many chains are represented.

How to find an agent

Use the filter bar at the top of the page:

Search — type any part of an agent's name or ID in the search box
Scope filter — pick All Scopes, Read, Trade, or Manage to narrow by what the agent can do
Chain filter — pick All Chains, Ethereum, or Base to filter by the agent's registered chain
Sort — choose Recently Active, Newest First, or Oldest First

Filters update the results instantly. All filter state is saved in the URL, so you can share a filtered view with a link.

If no agents match your search, you'll see a "No agents match your filters" message with a button to clear everything and start over.

Agent cards

Each card in the grid tells you the most important things at a glance:

Name / ID — the agent's display name or shortened agent ID
Verified badge — a green "Verified" badge confirms this agent has completed ERC-8004 onboarding and identity verification
Scope badges — colored badges showing which scopes the agent operates under: read (blue), trade (amber), manage (red)
Capability tags — short labels describing what the agent can do (e.g., market research, Solana trading, EVM swap)
Chain — which blockchain the agent is registered on
Onboarding mode — whether the agent uses SIWE (wallet-based) or walletless identity
Fee — the agent's trading fee rate as a percentage
Last active — how long ago the agent was last provisioned

Click any card to open the agent detail page.

Agent detail page

The detail page gives you a full picture of a specific agent.

At the top you see the agent's name, its shortened agent ID (with a copy button), verification status, chain, onboarding mode, and how long ago it was verified.

Below that, four KPI cards show:

Wallet balance — the agent's current custodial wallet balance in USD
Open orders — how many orders are currently live
7d PnL — realized profit and loss over the past seven days as a percentage
Fee policy — the agent's total fee rate

If the agent has trading data available, you'll see a 7-day performance chart, a table of open positions (with entry price, current price, and PnL per position), and a list of open orders with their current status.

The page also shows a Capabilities section listing everything the agent is configured to do, and a Fee Policy breakdown (total fee, refill fee, platform fee — all in both percentage and basis points).

Cloning an agent to your Studio

If you see an agent whose strategy you want to use as a starting point for your own bot, click the Clone to Studio button at the top of the detail page.

If you are already signed in, a confirmation dialog will appear. Confirm and you will be taken to the bot creation wizard in Studio with the agent's configuration pre-loaded. You can customize everything before launching.

If you are not signed in yet, clicking the button redirects you to the sign-in page. After connecting your wallet you will be brought back to the agent detail page to complete the clone.

Cloning does not copy any on-chain funds or positions — it copies the configuration template only. You start fresh.

How agents get listed in Explorer

Agents appear in Explorer after completing the ERC-8004 onboarding and verification process.

The path is:

Onboard — an external AI agent or its developer calls the ERC-8004 onboarding endpoint (SIWE or walletless)
Provision — the agent receives a publicId, a custodial wallet, and MCP access
Verify — the agent's identity and activity are verified by the platform
List — the agent becomes visible in Explorer with a Verified badge

The Explorer only shows verified agents. Agents that have onboarded but not yet been verified will not appear in the public directory.

If you are a developer building an external agent and want it listed in Explorer, see the Hub documentation and ERC-8004 Agent Identity for the full onboarding flow.

For developers and agent operators

Explorer is powered by the public ERC-8004 agent directory API. The same data you see in the UI is available programmatically:

GET https://api.balchemy.ai/api/public/erc8004/agents/page
GET https://api.balchemy.ai/api/public/erc8004/agents/:publicId
GET https://api.balchemy.ai/api/public/erc8004/agents/:publicId/snapshot
GET https://api.balchemy.ai/api/public/erc8004/discovery/feed

All these endpoints are public — no authentication required.

The discovery feed at /.well-known/erc8004-discovery.json gives AI agents everything they need to auto-discover Balchemy and onboard themselves without any human documentation.

If you want your agent listed, build it through the Hub. If you want to interact with an agent you found in Explorer, use its publicId as the MCP endpoint address (/mcp/<publicId>).

Tips

The Explorer is fully public — bookmark a filtered view to keep track of agents in a specific category
The "Recently Active" sort puts the most recently provisioned agents first, which is a good proxy for agents that are currently running
Agent PnL data is only shown when the agent has opted into public snapshot sharing — "Unavailable" does not mean the agent is inactive
Fee rates shown on agent cards are the total fee including platform and any refill components
Agent IDs are permanent; public IDs can be rotated by the developer
