- Network health metrics (active addresses, transaction volume)
- Exchange flow analysis (inflows = bearish, outflows = bullish)
- Whale activity tracking (large holder movements)
- On-chain valuation (NVT ratio, MVRV ratio)
- Supply profitability analysis

**Tools**:
- `get_onchain_metrics` - Comprehensive network health
- `get_exchange_flows` - Exchange inflow/outflow analysis
- `get_whale_activity` - Large holder tracking

**Key Insights**:
- Net exchange outflows → Bullish (accumulation)
- Net exchange inflows → Bearish (distribution)
- Whale accumulation → Bullish signal
- MVRV < 1.5 → Undervalued, MVRV > 3.0 → Overvalued

---

#### 💰 Crypto Fundamentals Analyst (`crypto_fundamentals_analyst.py`)
**Purpose**: Analyze tokenomics and project fundamentals

**Capabilities**:

## Quick Start

### Installation

Phase 2 builds on Phase 1. Make sure you have:
```bash
pip install ccxt glassnode python-dotenv langchain-openai
```

### Basic Usage

#### 1. Create Crypto Agents

```python
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
from tradingagents.agents.analysts.onchain_analyst import create_onchain_analyst
from tradingagents.agents.analysts.crypto_fundamentals_analyst import create_crypto_fundamentals_analyst
from tradingagents.crypto_config import get_crypto_config
from tradingagents.dataflows.config import set_config

# Set crypto configuration
set_config(get_crypto_config())

# Initialize LLM
llm = ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o-mini", temperature=0)

# Create crypto agents
onchain_analyst = create_onchain_analyst(llm)
fundamentals_analyst = create_crypto_fundamentals_analyst(llm)
```

#### 2. Analyze Bitcoin

```python
# Define analysis state
state = {
    "trade_date": "2024-10-07",
    "company_of_interest": "BTC/USDT",
    "messages": []
}

# Run on-chain analysis
result = onchain_analyst(state)
print(result['onchain_report'])

# Run fundamentals analysis
result = fundamentals_analyst(state)
print(result['fundamentals_report'])
```

#### 3. Test Agents

```bash
# Test agent structure (no API keys needed)
python test_crypto_agents.py

# Test with real data (requires API keys)
python examples/crypto_agent_integration.py
```

## Agent Comparison: Crypto vs Stock

| Feature | Stock Agents | Crypto Agents |
|---------|-------------|---------------|
| **Fundamentals** | Balance sheet, P/E ratio | Tokenomics, inflation rate |
| **Technical** | 9:30-16:00 trading hours | 24/7 trading |
| **News** | Earnings, SEC filings | Regulatory, protocol upgrades |
| **Sentiment** | StockTwits, news | Crypto Twitter, Fear & Greed |
| **Extra** | Insider trading | **On-chain metrics** ⭐ |

**Key Addition**: On-Chain Analyst is **unique to crypto** - no equivalent in stock market!

---

## Integration with TradingAgentsGraph

### Option 1: Separate Crypto Workflow

Create a crypto-specific TradingAgentsGraph:

```python
from tradingagents.graph.trading_graph import TradingAgentsGraph
from tradingagents.crypto_config import get_crypto_config

# Create crypto trading graph
crypto_ta = TradingAgentsGraph(
    config=get_crypto_config(),
    selected_analysts=["onchain", "crypto_fundamentals", "crypto_technical"]
)

# Analyze Bitcoin
_, decision = crypto_ta.propagate("BTC/USDT", "2024-10-07")
```

### Option 2: Unified Workflow with Auto-Detection

Add routing logic to detect crypto vs stock:

```python
def get_analysts_for_ticker(ticker):
    crypto_symbols = ['BTC', 'ETH', 'SOL', 'ADA']
    is_crypto = any(symbol in ticker.upper() for symbol in crypto_symbols)

    if is_crypto:
        return ["onchain", "crypto_fundamentals", "crypto_technical"]
    else:
        return ["fundamentals", "market", "news"]
```

---

## Agent Prompt Engineering

### On-Chain Analyst Prompt Highlights

```
Focus on these key areas:
1. Network Health: Active addresses, transaction volume
2. Exchange Flows: Net inflows (bearish) vs outflows (bullish)
3. Whale Activity: Large holder accumulation/distribution
4. Valuation Metrics: NVT ratio, MVRV ratio
5. Supply Profitability: % of supply in profit/loss

Interpretation Guidelines:
- Bullish: Net outflows, whale accumulation, MVRV < 1.5
- Bearish: Net inflows, whale distribution, MVRV > 3.0
```

### Crypto Fundamentals Prompt Highlights

```
Key Questions to Answer:
- Is the token inflationary or deflationary?
- What % of max supply is circulating? (scarcity)
- Is there dilution risk from token unlocks?
- Does the token have real utility?
- How does market cap compare to competitors?
```

### Crypto Technical Analyst Prompt Highlights

```
Crypto Market Characteristics:
- 24/7 Trading: No gaps or weekend patterns
- Higher Volatility: 5-10% daily moves are common
- Order Book Matters: Bid/ask walls act as support/resistance
- Multiple Venues: Price varies across exchanges
```

---

## API Requirements

### Required APIs
- **OpenAI API** - For LLM agent execution
- **CCXT** - Public market data (no key needed)
- **Messari** - Fundamentals (free tier available)

### Optional APIs
- **Glassnode** - On-chain metrics ($30-800/mo)
- **Twitter API** - Social sentiment (requires approval)
- **Reddit API** - Community sentiment (free)

---

## Limitations & Future Work

### Current Limitations

1. **Sentiment Analysis**: Framework-only (requires Twitter/Reddit API integration)
2. **On-Chain Data**: Requires Glassnode paid subscription
3. **No Graph Integration**: Agents created but not integrated into main workflow yet
4. **No Crypto Trader**: Still uses stock trader logic

### Phase 3 Tasks (Next)

- [ ] Integrate crypto agents into TradingAgentsGraph
- [ ] Create crypto-specific trader agent
- [ ] Add auto-detection for crypto vs stock tickers
- [ ] Build crypto backtesting framework
- [ ] Implement crypto risk management

---

## Examples

### Example 1: Analyze Bitcoin

```python
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
from tradingagents.agents.analysts.onchain_analyst import create_onchain_analyst

llm = ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o-mini")
analyst = create_onchain_analyst(llm)

state = {
    "trade_date": "2024-10-07",
    "company_of_interest": "BTC/USDT",
    "messages": []
}

result = analyst(state)
print(result['onchain_report'])
```

### Example 2: Multi-Crypto Analysis

```python
cryptos = ["BTC/USDT", "ETH/USDT", "SOL/USDT"]

for crypto in cryptos:
    state["company_of_interest"] = crypto
    result = onchain_analyst(state)
    print(f"\n{crypto} Analysis:\n{result['onchain_report']}")
```

## Performance Metrics

### Agent Response Times (Estimated)

| Agent | Tool Calls | Avg Time | LLM Cost |
|-------|------------|----------|----------|
| On-Chain | 3 tools | 10-15s | $0.01-0.03 |
| Fundamentals | 2-3 tools | 8-12s | $0.01-0.02 |
| Technical | 2-3 tools | 6-10s | $0.01-0.02 |
| News | 1 tool | 5-8s | $0.01 |
| Sentiment | 0 tools | 3-5s | $0.01 |

**Total for full analysis**: ~40-60 seconds, ~$0.05-0.10

---

## Troubleshooting

### Import Errors

```bash
# Reinstall dependencies
pip install ccxt glassnode langchain-openai --upgrade
```

### Agent Execution Errors

```python
# Check LLM initialization
llm = ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o-mini", temperature=0)
print(llm.invoke("test"))  # Should return response
```

### Glassnode 401 Errors

- Check `GLASSNODE_API_KEY` is set in `.env`
- Verify subscription is active
- Try with Messari data only (works without Glassnode)

---

## Next Steps

### Immediate (To Use Now)
1. Run tests: `python test_crypto_agents.py`
2. Try examples: `python examples/crypto_agent_integration.py`
