FAI Agent Marketplace: What to Expect in Q2 2026

FAI stands for Financial Autonomous Infrastructure. It is the layer of 963X that enables AI agents to interpret natural language, simulate financial actions, and execute trades onchain -- all within strict user-defined boundaries.

FAI is not a trading bot. It is an execution framework that transforms human intent into verified onchain actions. Users set the rules. Agents operate within them. Every action is auditable.

Chat Mode (free): Users ask questions in natural language and receive market data, portfolio analysis, and trade simulations. No execution, no wallet required. Seven queries per day.

Assisted Mode: AI parses user intent, simulates the trade, previews risk and slippage, and prepares the transaction. The user reviews everything and signs. The AI never signs.

Autonomous Mode: Users grant fine-grained permissions (max trade size, daily volume cap, allowed actions) and the agent executes within those boundaries. Think iOS app permissions, not blank-check delegation.

Every agent action passes through a 4-layer security pipeline: static rules (rate limits, gas checks), dynamic risk (volatility-adjusted limits), behavioral analysis (anomaly detection), and circuit breakers (system-wide halt on systemic risk).

The blast radius of a compromised agent is capped at 0-5% of portfolio value by design. Agents never hold private keys. They submit transaction requests that are validated by the security engine before execution.

The FAI Agent Marketplace is targeted for Q2 2026. Chat Mode will ship first, followed by Assisted Execution. Autonomous Mode will enter beta with a limited set of whitelisted strategies.

Developer API access and the agent SDK will be available at launch for builders who want to create custom agents on the FAI framework.
