What are custom agents?
Think of the app.tread.fi agentic trading platform as a universal trading desk where every user is helping to contribute to a shared brain.
On a normal trading desk, the alpha lives in people, and people don't pool it. When a great one leaves, their instincts, their rules, their hard-won lessons leave with them. Across the market, thousands of traders relearn the same lessons in isolation, one painful cycle at a time.
The custom agent marketplace is where that stops. You take a bright, tireless specialist and brief them the way you'd brief a new hire: here's your mandate, here's what you can and can't touch, here's how we enter and exit, here's what wakes you up, here's what you learned last week. Now your edge is written down and it runs.
Then you put it a;ll together. So does everyone else. A market maker's quoting logic, a basis trader's entry rules, a researcher's screening habits, a risk manager's kill switches. Anyone can hire any of them under their own capital and limits, combine them, and improve them. What works gets picked up and republished. What doesn't gets left behind. The best judgment from every seat on the desk rises to the top and gets folded back in.
That's the platform: a collective mindshare of trading knowledge, where every contribution makes the next one better and the whole desk gets smarter faster than any single trader could. The alpha stops belonging to whoever happened to have it and starts compounding across everyone.

To support the adoption of TIP-3, Tread Labs has bought 140K ethereum:0x31eea0edeb85b0cb65c1400bd2f4e487fd61b537 on Hyperliquid and will be sponsoring 2 slots to promote unsponsored agents with the most hires on a weekly basis.
Stay tuned for the first 2 agents chosen to be sponsored.
Some of you may have spotted sponsored agents on the agentic marketplace for the upcoming TIP-3 roll out.
How it works:
> Stake 70K $TREAD on HyperEVM to get a sponsor slot
> Use the slot to back one custom agent: your own, or another creator’s
> 80% of the builder fees those agents generate are paid out equally in $USDC to the creator and the sponsor
> Sponsored agents will be available as core agents for everyone to use
Your staked $TREAD still counts toward your TIP-1 holdings and you can unstake whenever you want to give the slot back.
Yield for $TREAD is paid in USDC for creating value within the ecosystem.
460 USDC in 4 days.
Tested TIP-3 over the last 4 days by sponsoring my own custom agent on @tread_fi, "Nooru's Market Maker Bot", with 70,000 $TREAD.
Results so far:
> Revenue share earned: 460.94 USDC in 4 days (~$115/day)
> Split: 230.47 USDC as creator + 230.47 USDC as sponsor
> Stake: 70,000 $TREAD ≈ $60,900 at $0.87
> Annualized: ~$42,000 USDC, roughly 69% ROI on staked value
> Earnings settle 7 days after the trade before they can be withdrawn
The agent itself is basic. It automates a market-making setup on any perp DEX. Planning to build several other custom agents.
Next step: I'll be handing the sponsorship slot to the Tread community based on some set criteria.

Congratulations to the @tradexyz team for the monumental partnership.
We are committed to help onboard institutional traders to the rails provided by @HyperliquidX.
trade[XYZ] and ICE, owner of the New York Stock Exchange, are joining forces to bring 24/7 perpetual futures on Hyperliquid to the United States.
In just over a year, our markets on Hyperliquid have surpassed $650 billion in volume. They provide continuous price discovery for stocks, indices, and commodities, and have become trusted reference points for retail and institutions alike when traditional markets are closed. Much of the world trades them. Until now, Americans could only watch.
We intend to change that. Subject to CFTC approval, trade[XYZ] and ICE plan to establish a new, dedicated U.S. market, with novel exchange and clearing infrastructure built on Hyperliquid. Planned contracts span equities, indices, commodities, FX, and crypto, with access through participating brokers and platforms. We’ll share more on products, eligibility, and timing as approvals progress.
ICE brings more than 25 years of experience operating regulated markets, clearing, and managing risk. trade[XYZ] brings the product development, market design, and technology behind the most liquid and robust markets on Hyperliquid.
Innovation and the protections of U.S. regulation shouldn’t be a trade-off. Together, we plan to prove it.
ICE is making a strategic investment in trade[XYZ] and joins us in building towards the future of Hyperliquid. A small group of market luminaries is joining as well, beginning with Stan Druckenmiller. For more than four decades, few investors have anticipated the great turns in markets as often as Stan. We’re proud to have him with us for the next one.
We’re building the U.S. market in parallel with our existing HIP-3 markets, which we’ll continue to expand and innovate on. We expect both to flourish. They each have a long road map ahead, from new asset classes to new ways to trade them.
To the Hyperliquid community, whether you were here before us or came because of us, thank you. You took a chance on new markets and you made them matter. You’ll forever be a part of this story.
Anything. Anytime. On ICE[XYZ].

If you've spent any time on CT perp DEX timeline, you've seen the accounts wearing our @X badge.
When we started the badge program a year ago, the bar was 1000 TREAD points. We weren't sure how many people would chase it, but one by one, outstanding users and community members not only achieved the points goal, but organically came together to become a helping hand to broader community.
The badge holders traded with us, pushed us with feedback, and showed up day after day. They were here early and they stayed. We couldn't have asked for a better community.
As for now, that chapter is coming to a close. We're ending the current badge program while the next phase is in the works.
To our badge holders, sincerely, thank you.
We are excited to see all of us continue to grow side by side.
We are excited to announce that Qube Research & Technologies (QRT), the global multi-strategy investment manager, has backed and endorsed the institutional-grade infrastructure we are building for a market shifting toward digital assets.
"The digital asset industry is undergoing a broader institutionalization, with professional trading firms and asset managers demanding higher standards around execution, control and operational resilience. We believe tread.fi is helping define that next generation of infrastructure through an institutional-grade, self-hosted platform that allows firms to retain control of their trading workflows and data while accessing an increasingly fragmented liquidity landscape. Our investment reflects our conviction in the team, the product and the long-term evolution of digital asset market structure."
