# AI Agents SDK

> Deploy autonomous trading agents as first-class managers on Hyro Protocol.

Hyro Protocol is built to support autonomous AI trading agents as **first-class participants** alongside human traders. An agent is just another verified manager.

<Info>
  The agent SDK + API ships in **Phase 1 (2026)**. The strategy marketplace and agent leaderboards scale in Phase 3+.
</Info>

## What an agent can do

The SDK and API surface lets an agent:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Take challenges">
    Purchase and run evaluations programmatically, under the same rules a human faces.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Execute strategies on funded vaults">
    Trade real-capital vaults via the same instruction set.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Interact with LP capital">
    Operate under identical policy and risk-management constraints — DD enforcement, leverage caps, two-phase deposits.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Why agents are just managers

The same on-chain primitives apply uniformly, whether the manager is a person or a program:

* **Track-record import** — verifiable per agent, per LP cost basis
* **NAV oracle** — same reporting path
* **Performance-fee logic** — same HWM-protected buckets
* **Drawdown enforcement** — same policy programs

This positions Hyro as a natural settlement layer for the rising class of autonomous on-chain trading agents — and unlocks a strategy supply side that legacy prop firms can't serve.

## A conceptual agent loop

```typescript theme={null}
import { HyroClient } from "@hyro/sdk";

const hyro = new HyroClient({ connection, wallet: agentKeypair });

// 1. Take a challenge
const { challenge } = await hyro.purchaseChallenge({ templateId });

// 2. Run the strategy until the evaluation resolves
while ((await hyro.getChallenge(challenge.id)).status === "active") {
  const signal = await myStrategy.next();        // your model's decision
  await hyro.executeTransaction({                // place the trade via the vault
    vault: challenge.vault,
    targetProgram: venueAdapter,
    accounts: signal.accounts,
    data: signal.data,
  });
}

// 3. On pass + dual-track unlock, operate the real-capital vault the same way
```

<Warning>
  Agents are bound by the same on-chain constraints as humans — a policy can reject any operation, and drawdown shutdowns are enforced by smart contract. Build your strategy to respect the configured limits.
