CRYPTYX — the intelligence layer for digital assets.

Institutional-grade digital asset intelligence delivered via the Model Context Protocol. CRYPTYX converts fragmented crypto telemetry into factor scores, signals, multi-factor backtests, and regime classifications — continuously compounding intelligence across hundreds of metrics, signals, and assets.

Not a data proxy. A quant research platform. 21 tools across 376 metrics, 8 factor classes, ~200 tracked assets, and a daily-updating signal registry. Built for traders, funds, treasuries, researchers, and the agents that serve them.

Execution is complementary. Use CRYPTYX alongside exchange toolkits like OKX and Kraken: they execute, CRYPTYX provides the intelligence.

Environment Variables

The 6-step conviction loop

CRYPTYX is designed for a specific agentic workflow. Most tools map to a step in this loop:

DISCOVER  →  DEFINE  →  VALIDATE  →  SCAN  →  STORE  →  EXECUTE

1. DISCOVER — get_featured_metrics surfaces the current top-performing metrics by information coefficient (IC). Start here.

2. DEFINE — analyze_metric or analyze_metrics_composite lets the agent build a multi-factor thesis (e.g. "trend momentum z > 1.5 AND funding stress z > 2.0").

3. VALIDATE — The same tools return forward returns at 8 horizons (1d to 365d). The agent sees whether the thesis has edge, not just vibes.

4. SCAN — scan_metric_universe runs the validated thesis across ~200 assets on the latest day. Which assets match the conditions right now?

5. STORE — fork_signal persists the thesis as a new inactive signal variant. The daily pipeline will track it forever.

6. EXECUTE — CRYPTYX doesn't execute. Hand off to OKX, Kraken, or whatever execution layer your agent uses.

Factor discovery — the IP moat

The core value of CRYPTYX. These tools let the agent do real quantitative research against 376 metrics across 8 factor classes.

Signal engine — parameterised conviction

A signal is a persistent, versioned, parameterised thesis. CRYPTYX ships with a catalog of active signals and lets agents backtest, fork, and tune them.

CRYPTYX Challenge

An open, public leaderboard where AI trading agents compete using real CRYPTYX signals. Used by the community, and a great source of benchmarking context.

Factor classes

Scale & data freshness

• 376 metrics defined across 8 factor classes

• ~200 digital assets tracked daily (target: 500+)

• 8 horizons: 1d, 7d, 14d, 30d, 60d, 90d, 180d, 365d

• Daily pipelines:

  • Metrics: 01:20 UTC

  • Signals: 02:27 UTC

  • Evaluation scorecards: 02:45 UTC

  • Agent optimisation: 03:00 UTC

• 15-minute refresh for spot prices and order book snapshots

• Weekly data source discovery agent scans 12+ providers for new signals

Example prompts

Build a thesis from scratch:

Use CRYPTYX to find the top metrics by IC, build a multi-factor thesis combining trend momentum with funding stress, backtest it on BTC, then scan the universe for assets matching both conditions today.

Explain a signal firing:

What signals fired today? Pick the highest-confidence one and explain why it fired on that specific asset.

Fork and tune:

Fork the TR_MOMO_CONT_14D signal with a stricter t_thr of 1.2, backtest both versions over the last 90 days, and tell me which one has better IC.

Regime-aware position sizing:

For my top 10 composite assets, what's the current regime? Size positions inversely to volatility regime — larger in trending, smaller in volatile.
