A blueprint that defines the agent’s personality in rich detail. It defines its personality, knowledge, and behavior. The basic attributes to define a character are:
Knowledge: What does the AI agent know about?
Lore: The agent’s backstory—its narrative grounding.
Style: From conversational tone to medium-specific responses, agents can adapt their style for platforms like Discord or X.
Topics: The areas of interest or expertise the agent is passionate about.
Adjectives: How does the agent describe itself—quirky, professional, or irreverent?
Examples: Developers can fine-tune interactions by providing sample messages to guide behaviour.
Agent character is the equivalent of UI design for traditional software. It defines how users experience and engage with an agent. By integrating built-in Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) capabilities, xFractal allows agents to access a knowledge base alongside its queries. This eliminates the complexity of maintaining personality consistency across platforms.
The Agent Repository stores an agent’s goal, rules, reflections, and experience logs. It acts as a long-term knowledge base, ensuring that the agent maintains continuity in its decision-making process. By tracking past experiences and learned insights, the repository allows agents to refine their strategies over time, aligning actions with user-defined objectives.
The Agent Repository stores all these logs using vector databases for efficient retrieval. These databases allow agents to store and recall past experiences, improving decision-making over time. By leveraging similarity search, agents can reference previous insights and apply learned strategies dynamically.
The Context Subsystems continuously gather market conditions, environmental data, trends, and external information. These subsystems provide a real-time situational awareness layer, ensuring that agents have up-to-date insights before making decisions. This information feeds into the Cognitive Core, allowing for precise data-driven reasoning. It also utilizes knowledge graphs to map relationships between market conditions, trends, and external data sources. By structuring information into interconnected nodes, agents can identify:
patterns
dependencies
behaviors
emerging narratives
Providing a richer, contextualized understanding of market dynamics.
The Cognitive Core is the agent’s processing and reasoning engine. It synthesizes, aggregates, structures, and textualizes on-chain and social data to transform raw information into actionable intelligence. The on-chain layer tracks blockchain transactions, while the social layer monitors community sentiment and market narratives. This core ensures that agents can interpret complex data and generate high-quality insights. The Cognitive Core uses LLMs + Transformer Models - GPT, Llama, Mistral, DeepSeek, Qwen, Claude, Gemini which functions as the agent’s reasoning and synthesis engine. These models aggregate, structure, and textualize on-chain and social data, enabling the agent to process vast amounts of information efficiently while ensuring coherent and strategic outputs.
In addition, xFractal’s proprietary custom-trained models are continuously fine-tuned and adapted for market-specific conditions. Unlike generalized LLMs, xFractal’s models are faster, more accurate, and highly optimized for financial data, ensuring superior performance in real-time analysis and predictive intelligence. This proprietary edge allows for the outperforming of global models by offering precision-engineered insights tailored specifically to market dynamics.
By integrating state-of-the-art AI, real-time blockchain monitoring, and market-adaptive fine-tuned models, the Cognitive Core delivers an unparalleled level of intelligence—empowering agents with faster, more precise, and actionable decision-making capabilities.
The Memory module retains historical data, previous actions, learning experiences, and active trading plans. It allows agents to store past interactions and recall relevant information when making decisions. This ensures strategic consistency, enabling agents to adapt based on prior performance and refine their actions over time. This module integrates LSTM-based hierarchical memory to balance short-term adaptability with long-term recall. Unlike traditional memory architectures, Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks excel at capturing both immediate patterns and deep historical trends, allowing agents to:
Retain context from past market conditions and trading strategies.
Recognize patterns in price movements, social sentiment, and transaction behaviors.
Refine decision-making by continuously learning from past performance and adjusting strategies accordingly.
This ensures agents can retain historical context, track past interactions, and refine strategy execution based on accumulated knowledge.
The Memory Processor organizes and prioritizes stored information based on recency, relevancy, and importance. It prevents outdated or irrelevant data from influencing decisions while ensuring that the most critical insights remain accessible for real-time strategy adjustments. Embedding models are used to rank and prioritize information based on recency, relevance, and importance. These models convert raw data into high-dimensional vector representations, enabling agents to efficiently retrieve, evaluate, and weigh information for more effective decision-making. To achieve this, xFractal leverages state-of-the-art embedding models, including OpenAI’s text-embedding models (Ada), Cohere, BGE (BAAI General Embeddings), and DeepSeek embeddings.
Processes incoming data, acting as the agent’s sensory layer. It filters, categorizes, and prioritizes external stimuli, ensuring that only high-quality, meaningful information reaches the Cognitive Core. This system allows agents to react efficiently to shifting market conditions and emerging opportunities. xFractal employs event-driven architectures to filter, process, and categorize incoming data dynamically. This ensures that only high-value insights reach the agent, minimizing noise and enhancing real-time responsiveness.
The Learning Module enables agents to evolve by continuously analyzing past decisions, extracting patterns, and optimizing future strategies. It leverages machine learning to improve an agent’s ability to predict trends, refine execution, and adapt trading behaviors dynamically. Powered by Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) and Deep Q-Networks (DQN) reinforcement learning frameworks enabling agents to refine, optimize, and evolve trading behaviors for superior market intelligence.
The Orchestrator serves as the coordination engine, managing the flow of information between subsystems and triggering actions based on strategic intent. It ensures seamless interaction between different modules, executing trading strategies, risk assessments, and data-driven decisions while maintaining system efficiency. Multi-agent frameworks like LangChain and AutoGPT enable seamless coordination, parallel execution of tasks, and efficient workflow management, ensuring scalability and adaptability in complex trading environments.
At the infrastructure level, this is integrated with high-performance messaging and job-processing systems in Kafka which ensures real-time streaming, event-driven processing, and fault-tolerant communication between components. For large-scale deployments, the Orchestrator is designed to scale with Kubernetes, allowing for containerized execution, dynamic workload distribution, and high availability, ensuring that the system can handle increasing complexity and market demands.
By combining multi-agent coordination, robust job processing, and cloud-native scalability, the Orchestrator enables xFractal agents to operate efficiently, adapt dynamically, and execute high-frequency, data-driven trading strategies in real time.
