Use-case guide
Autonomous crypto trading
Autonomy is a spectrum. Eterna helps you move from chat-only research to supervised autonomous loops: agents can read markets and place perps orders, while you keep kill switches, size caps, and a full trading UI.

FAQ
- Is fully autonomous trading recommended?
- Start supervised. Full autonomy without limits is how accounts blow up. Eterna gives the tools; you set the policy.
- What markets work best for autonomy?
- Liquid majors and carefully allowlisted alts. Avoid illiquid names until your agent has proven risk control.
