Vaults and markets, routed by who picks the venue. A curated vault is a managed deposit: one asset handed to a curator. A market is one loan asset against one collateral the user picks themselves, and it is also the only way to borrow. VEX deposits into and withdraws from vaults, and on vouched-oracle markets it supplies collateral, borrows, repays, and withdraws, always quoting the same operation first, always with exact-amount token approvals. It also lends into a market directly: supplying the loan asset to earn that market's own borrow rate, and taking it back out. The direct route earns the same gross rate a curated vault does allocating into markets like it, minus the curator's fee. What it gives up is diversification and somebody watching the market for you.

Screening that reads the fine print. Market and vault discovery expose the provider's full filter surface, and the workflow is screen-then-read: VEX never recommends a market from a screening row alone, because bad debt, the oracle price, and real liquidity only appear in the detail read.

Rewards without illusions. Incentive rewards are separate tokens whose prices move on their own. VEX reports what a claim would deliver now apart from accrual that can still change, and claims everything claimable on a chain in one transaction through Merkl, after telling you when a claim is smaller than the gas it costs.

Freshness is measured, not guessed. DexScreener research was rebuilt around provable token age: VEX measures when a token actually launched and routes brand-new tokens to sources that already index them, instead of reading an empty answer as "no market exists".

Your own launches are labeled. Token discovery now flags rows created by your own wallet, so the agent no longer pitches your own test launch back to you as a market opportunity.

A blocked venue names itself. When KyberSwap's edge refuses service (geo-blocks, rate limits, outages), VEX now classifies the refusal and reveals the Uniswap fallback instead of denying the swap with a silent, unexplained error.

A quote that reads high explains itself. When a swap quote comes back with the output priced above the pool's own reference, VEX appends the reason in the same breath: on thin or fresh pools that usually means stale or fragmented pricing, and the quote is worth taking again before executing. The agent had been re-deriving that meaning from scratch four times in a single session.

A token with no price is not a token you do not hold. A short balance read with a limit used to sort unpriced holdings to zero and cut them first, so "no price feed" and "not in the wallet" looked identical. Unpriced holdings now sit after the priced rows, outside the limit, labeled as unpriced, and anything beyond the cap is counted rather than dropped.

Deployed capital is typed and baselined. A mission's success criteria are now measured against the capital the mission actually deployed, from a baseline taken at mission start. Pre-existing balances no longer count toward a target the agent did nothing to reach. The mission contract card shows the declared capital and its live exposure.

Measurability warnings, every time. If a mission's success criterion cannot be measured cleanly, the agent is warned in every setup turn, including when a mission is renewed, where the stale denominator would otherwise bind again silently.

A confirmed buy must also deliver. After a swap confirms, VEX verifies the tokens actually arrived. A scam token that confirms the transaction but delivers nothing is detected and named as exactly that. While a mission sleeps, the agent can now leave a price watch that wakes it when a level is hit.
