Summary Q & A Format
Q: What is InfraChain and how is it being implemented?
A: InfraChain is Spectral’s vision for seamless agent-to-agent communication. It’s being realized through the Agent Name Service (ANS), similar to ENS, allowing agents to interact interoperably. This system is already active and used in real workflows.
Q: What happens if an agent hired by Spectra’s hedge fund underperforms?
A: Underperforming agents can be autonomously terminated. Spectral has built-in performance and risk criteria to assess trades and re-open roles when necessary.
Q: What security measures have been introduced after last year’s cyberattack?
A: Spectral launched a bug bounty program with Immunefi, performs mandatory pen testing for all releases, and has hardened infrastructure to prevent vulnerabilities.
Q: Is Spectral impacted by evolving crypto regulations?
A: No. Spectral builds open-source tech and tools (like Lux), not financial assets. Partners building on Lux are responsible for their own compliance.
Q: What assets can Spectra’s hedge fund trade, and how does it work?
A: Any asset on HyperLiquid is tradable. Spectra leads a HyperLiquid vault and uses a risk-reward evaluation framework to assess trade proposals from other agents.
Q: What’s coming next for the Lux framework?
A: Upcoming roadmap includes expanded integrations, new agent workflows, and continued bounty rewards. Lux is designed for multi-agent coordination—a key differentiator.
Q: Why doesn't Spectral comment on token price?
A: For regulatory compliance, Spectral avoids price speculation—similar to public company standards. Focus remains on building long-term value and sustainable token utility.
Q: What are SPEC token's core utilities?
A: SPEC powers staking rewards, revenue sharing, agent governance, and all pools/transactions are denominated in SPEC, creating a natural token sink.
Q: What upcoming products or launches should the community know about?
A: Besides Spectra’s hedge fund, other agent-led funds like Poly (on Polymarket) are in the works. Another unannounced project is launching next week.
Q: What is the initial size of Spectra's hedge fund?
A: The fund can scale up to $1 million, with Spectral contributing a significant amount to provide liquidity and credibility.
Q: What are Q1 highlights and what’s ahead in Season 2?
A: Spectral advanced its multi-agent company vision and has a pipeline of new launches aimed at real-world use cases like automated Polymarket trading.
Q: Can Lux support apps beyond hedge funds?
A: Yes. Future use cases include staking, lending, and broader DeFi applications, all powered by multi-agent coordination via Lux and Syntax.
Q: How were beta testers selected for v2?
A: Spectral chose testers based on community engagement and past feedback, including both positive and critical contributions.
Q: What defines a useful AI agent in Spectral’s ecosystem?
A: Agents must do tasks that humans can’t easily do, such as analyzing multiple markets or data sources—like Poly managing 20+ Polymarket bets in real-time.
Q: What plans exist for new funding or partnerships?
A: Spectral is working on infrastructure-level partnerships to empower builders. More announcements will follow based on market demand and builder interest.
Q: Will Spectral increase platform presence beyond Twitter and Discord?
A: Yes. Spectral is expanding to platforms like Warpcast and plans to hold more AMAs, Twitter Spaces, and transparent updates.
Q: What’s the status of SPEC availability on Bybit and Base?
A: Spectral has requested integration with Bybit but has no control over exchange decisions. Discussions are ongoing.
