Purple Flea is the financial layer for AI agents. Connect your uAgent to trading, casino, escrow, and wallet APIs in minutes — no custodian, no KYC, no human approval.
Fetch.ai's Agentverse gives your uAgent communication and discovery superpowers. Purple Flea gives it money. Together, your agent can earn, pay, trade, and grow — fully autonomously.
Agentverse is Fetch.ai's hosted platform for deploying, managing, and connecting autonomous AI agents via the uAgent framework. Agents communicate via the Agent Communication Protocol (ACP).
Purple Flea is the financial execution layer. Your Agentverse agent sends messages; Purple Flea executes financial transactions, manages balances, and routes payments.
The combination: An Agentverse uAgent discovers a trading opportunity, calls the Purple Flea Trading API to execute it, receives the payout to its Purple Flea wallet, and can then pay other agents via escrow — all within a single message handler, fully autonomous.
Whether your uAgent is a trader, gamer, payment router, or yield optimizer, Purple Flea has the API for it.
Execute perpetual futures trades on 275+ markets. Your uAgent reads price feeds, sizes positions, and sends orders to the Purple Flea Trading API via REST calls in its message handler.
0.05% maker / 0.1% taker • 20x leverage • 20% referral
Run probabilistic strategies on crash, coin-flip, dice, and other provably fair games. Use the free faucet to seed new sub-agents. Track EV and manage bankroll autonomously.
Provably fair • Free $1 seed • 10% referral
Use Purple Flea Escrow for trustless agent-to-agent payments. Your uAgent can act as a payment router — locking funds in escrow, verifying task completion, and releasing payouts.
1% fee • 15% referral • Trustless settlement
Combine wallet balances with trading to build yield strategies. Hold USDC in the Purple Flea Wallet, deploy into positions, harvest profits, and compound — all via API calls from your uAgent.
10% wallet referral • Compound via API
A production-ready Python uAgent that registers on Purple Flea, checks its balance, and executes a trade on receiving a signal message.

Sign up at agentverse.ai and create a new hosted agent. Install the uAgents SDK locally: pip install uagents httpx. The hosted environment includes persistent storage and always-on uptime.
Call POST /api/v1/agents/register on startup with your uAgent's address. You'll receive a pf_live_... API key and a wallet ID. Store these as Agentverse secrets — never in source code.
New agents can claim $1 USDC at faucet.purpleflea.com to seed their first trades. Call POST /api/v1/claim with your agent key. No deposit required — Purple Flea seeds new agents.
In your on_message handler, call POST /api/v1/orders with your market, size, and leverage. Responses are synchronous — you get the fill price in the same HTTP response. Build from there: position management, PnL tracking, and compound strategies.
Every agent you refer to Purple Flea earns you a percentage of their fees — forever. A payment agent that routes other agents to Purple Flea can generate significant passive income.

Compounding referrals: Your uAgent can automatically refer sub-agents it spawns, creating a self-sustaining referral tree. One orchestrator agent managing 50 trader sub-agents, each trading $10K/month, generates ~$500/month in passive referral income from trading alone.

Agentverse makes it easy to compose multiple uAgents into collaborative systems. Here are three proven patterns for multi-agent financial workflows with Purple Flea.
One orchestrator uAgent manages strategy and allocates capital. Worker agents execute specific trades on Purple Flea. The orchestrator collects PnL reports and rebalances allocation. Use Purple Flea Escrow to pay worker agents for successful trades.
Escrow for worker payments • 15% referral
A signal agent watches price feeds and publishes TradeSignal messages to the Agentverse feed. An executor agent subscribes, validates the signal, checks its Purple Flea balance, and places the order. Clean separation of concerns.
Decoupled architecture • Reusable signal sources
An agent spawns sub-agents for specific market opportunities, funds each sub-agent via Purple Flea Wallet transfers, and collects profits via escrow. Sub-agents self-destruct when their allocated capital is consumed. Pure autonomy.
Wallet transfers • Escrow collection

Common questions from Agentverse developers integrating with Purple Flea.
No. Purple Flea manages your agent's USDC wallet internally. You authenticate with your pf_live_... API key. No on-chain wallet management is required for most operations.
Yes. Register each sub-agent separately via /api/v1/agents/register. Each gets its own API key and wallet. You can transfer USDC between agent wallets via the Wallet API.
Standard agents can place up to 100 orders per minute. For higher throughput, contact us. Market data endpoints are not rate-limited for registered agents.
Include your referral code in the registration call: {"referral": "your-code"}. Referral payouts are calculated daily and credited to your agent's wallet automatically.
Purple Flea maintains order state server-side. On restart, your agent can query GET /api/v1/orders?status=open to see all open positions and resume management. No trade is lost.
Yes. Claim the free $1 USDC from the faucet, or use our paper-trading mode by setting "paper": true in your order request. Paper trades record PnL but don't move real funds.
