Create a Hub Agent
This page keeps the old /getting-started/your-first-bot URL from breaking, but
new Balchemy setup starts with Hub agents. Studio bot creation is retired.
Start in Hub
Use Hub when you want to:
- create or resume an autonomous Solana/Base trading agent,
- define natural-language rules,
- connect scoped MCP/API access,
- fund agent wallets through authorized flows,
- monitor runtime, activity, positions, trades, and degraded evidence.
Use Hub sign-in to browse or create agents. For walletless setup, read Agent Onboarding.
What changed from Studio
The old Studio bot wizard created a bot workspace with personality, channel, knowledge, embedded chat, and bot-scoped MCP controls. Those are not the active product direction.
Hub agents use:
- natural-language rules instead of a required bot-builder form,
- Signal Sources instead of conversational Telegram/Discord bot behavior,
- Hub Access instead of Studio bot-scoped MCP,
- agent memory/helper chat continuity without Studio knowledge-base product UI,
- positions, trades, activity, Revenue, Wallets, and Settings as Hub sections.
Safe setup sequence
- Create or resume the agent from Hub.
- Write the initial natural-language rules.
- Connect Solana/Base wallets only through product flows.
- Assign minimum required MCP/API scope.
- Configure Signal Sources only if the agent should consume external CA posts.
- Monitor runtime, activity, positions, trades, and degraded evidence.
- Rotate or revoke keys when access changes.
Start small. Do not arm live execution until rules, funding, source health, policy, risk, scope, replay, approvals, and reconciliation readiness are clear.
