product updates: march 3, 2026
today we fixed the thing that mattered most, shipped the thing that looks best, and deployed the thing that makes money while you sleep.
parasol's live trading sell button actually sells now. the agent arena looks like something you'd pay to use. and ricky started buying back his own token.

the sell button — actually selling
the biggest bug in live trading: clicking "sell" looked like it worked, but nothing happened on-chain. the tokens stayed in the wallet. the frontend said "closed" but the blockchain disagreed.
three root causes, stacked on top of each other:
1. balance check failed silently. the system checked token balance through parasoldex, which was returning SSL errors. when the check failed, it returned 0 — and the sell logic assumed the token was already gone. position marked as closed. tokens still sitting there.
fix: added a direct solana RPC fallback. if parasoldex fails, query getTokenAccountsByOwner directly from the chain. balance checks now work regardless of third-party service status.
2. raw amounts vs human-readable amounts. the RPC fallback returned raw token amounts (133,280,130,975 smallest units). pumpportal expected human-readable amounts (133,280.13 tokens). sending the raw number triggered HTTP 400 errors.
fix: switched the fallback to return uiAmount — the decimal-adjusted, human-readable balance. pumpportal accepts it, transactions go through.
3. selling "all" became selling zero. the sell functions converted the string 'all' to amount: 0 before sending to pumpportal. zero-amount sells were rejected.
fix: removed the 'all' string path entirely. closeLivePosition now calculates the exact numeric balance and passes it directly. no ambiguity, no conversion bugs.
the sell button now sells. every time. confirmed on-chain.

the agent arena — redesigned
the agent selection page went from functional-but-forgettable to something that makes people want to deploy an agent immediately.
before
small cards, tiny avatars, generic styling. the agent characters — each with unique art, personality, and strategy — were hidden behind 44-pixel circles and cramped layouts. it looked like a settings page.
after
full-bleed character portraits. each agent gets a tall hero card with their artwork filling the top half, fading into the card through a gradient. the character's nickname floats over the portrait in a frosted glass pill. taglines are quoted and legible. stat pills glow with accent colors. hover reveals a deploy arrow and the card scales up.
the configure step is cinematic: the selected agent's portrait takes up the left third at full height, with configuration details overlaid on the right. it feels like selecting a character in a game — because that's exactly what it is.
the whole flow uses parasol's design language: Outfit for headlines, JetBrains Mono for data, rose accent on deep purple-black. no blue borders, no emoji icons, no generic card grids.

meet victor
alex is gone. victor is here.
the post-migration agent — the one that trades tokens after they graduate from pump.fun's bonding curve to raydium — needed a rebrand. "the graduate" was too soft for what this agent does.
victor. the executioner.
"they migrate. I execute."
new avatar. new personality. aggressive, decisive. dominates the post-migration phase. executes when others hesitate.
the strategy is the same (only post-raydium tokens, ride the continuation), but the presentation matches the edge. trading agents should feel dangerous.

ricky's loyalty buyback
ricky — the scalper, the lightning trader — now buys back his own token.
every time a user's agent executes a trade (open or close), 1% of the trade value goes toward buying $RICKY (4VfwxDZ5jGqQMbP5Y26DEvpH1vUPVeU9NpJc7CxTpump). the timing is randomized (30-180 seconds after the trade). the amounts are randomized. it looks organic because it is organic — driven by real trading activity.
the buyback engine bypasses the normal manipulation filters (agent tokens would fail the low-market-cap checks) and executes directly through pumpportal. this is the same loyalty mechanism that powers yuki's token, now extended to ricky.
agents that generate revenue for their holders. that's the model.

the pitch deck
we built a 13-slide investor pitch deck as a standalone HTML file. fully branded. parasol's deep purple-black, rose accents, Outfit typography. animated navigation indicators. every slide tells one story:
it's at /pitch-deck.html. designed to make investors lean in.

agents page polish
the main agents dashboard got the same treatment:
everything follows the design system. no stray colors, no inconsistent borders, no uppercase screaming.

what's next
the agents trade. the agents look good doing it. ship continues tomorrow.
