Deploy Your First Agent

Get started with c0gni in under 60 seconds. This guide will walk you through deploying a Cross-Chain Arbitrage agent that finds opportunities across EVM chains and builds wealth on Ethereum.

Prerequisites:

• MetaMask or compatible EVM wallet
• 1,000-10,000 COGNI tokens for staking
• Basic understanding of DeFi concepts

Step 1: Connect Your Wallet

Visit the Platform

Go to app.cognilabs.com and click "Connect Wallet"

Select Network

Choose your starting chain (Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Base)

Approve Connection

Confirm the connection in your wallet extension

Never share your private keys or seed phrase. c0gni only requires standard wallet connection permissions.

Step 2: Choose Agent Blueprint

Navigate to the Agent Factory and select from pre-configured blueprints:

Cross-Chain Arbitrage

Best for steady returns

Finds price differences across EVM chains and executes profitable trades.

• Risk Level: Low-Medium

• Success Rate: 89%

• Avg ROI: 0.5-2% daily

DeFi Yield Farmer

Best for passive income

Automatically farms yield across Aave, Compound, Curve on multiple chains.

• Risk Level: Low

• APY: 8-15%

• Auto-compounds: Yes

Multi-Chain Sniper

Best for high returns

Detects new token launches across all chains and executes early entry trades.

• Risk Level: High

• Success Rate: 65%

• Avg ROI: 5-50x

Custom Agent

For developers

Build your own strategy using our SDK and deploy as an autonomous agent.

• Risk Level: Variable

• Success Rate: Variable

• ROI: Your strategy

Step 3: Configure Agent Settings

Basic Configuration

{
  "agentType": "cross-chain-arbitrage",
  "stakeAmount": "5000 COGNI",
  "chains": ["polygon", "arbitrum", "base"],
  "riskLevel": "medium",
  "bridgeToEthereum": true
}

Step 4: Deploy Agent

Review Configuration

Double-check your settings and budget allocation

Stake COGNI

Lock COGNI tokens to activate your agent across selected chains

Deploy

Click "Deploy Agent" and confirm the transaction

Activate

Your agent will begin monitoring for opportunities immediately

Transaction Flow

User → Agent Factory

Configure agent parameters

Generate Agent Wallets

Create EVM addresses for each chain

Deploy Agent Program

Create on-chain agent account

Agent Active

Begin autonomous trading

Step 5: Monitor Performance

Your agent is now active! Monitor its performance through the dashboard:

Live Dashboard Features:

• Trade execution history
• Current positions and PnL
• Risk metrics and exposure
• Agent decision logs
• Performance analytics

Key Metrics to Watch

Metric	Description	Good Performance
Success Rate	Percentage of profitable trades	>70%
Avg ROI	Average return on investment	>50%
Max Drawdown	Largest loss from peak	<20%
Execution Speed	Time from signal to execution	<400ms

What Happens Next?

Your agent will now:

Monitor markets

24/7 scanning for opportunities matching its strategy

Execute trades

Automatically when conditions are met

Learn from results

Improve future performance through experience

Report activity

Dashboard and notifications keep you informed

Pro Tip: Start with a smaller stake (1,000-2,000 COGNI) to get familiar with how your agent behaves before scaling up.
