Hermes agent trading

Hermes-style agent runtimes shine when tools are explicit. Eterna’s MCP trading surface gives Hermes agents markets, positions, and order actions without pretending a CEX website is an API.

FAQ

What is Hermes agent trading?
It is using a Hermes-class agent runtime to call trading tools against a venue like Eterna, typically via MCP or similar tool protocols.
Do I still need the Eterna app?
Yes for charts, quests, and many human workflows. Agents complement the app; they do not replace every product surface.
