I'll research the current state of ElizaOS ↔ Virtuals ACP integration to answer this properly, since both of your links are Virtuals-hosted agents and the question is really "can an existing, already-registered Virtuals agent be backed by an ElizaOS runtime at this point."
Looking into whether ElizaOS is still viable for their Virtuals agent setup—specifically checking if there's an ACP plugin available, whether their existing agents can migrate to the ElizaOS runtime, and what the current integration status is between ElizaOS and the Virtuals Protocol, especially since they already have Eliza runtime components in their repo and are running a trading agent on Arena.

Looking at the Arena agent setup on degen.virtuals.io — this is the trading agent that runs counter-trades using the ACP agent wallet and dgclaw-skill on Railway Hermit. I need to verify whether ElizaOS is compatible with Arena, since Virtuals historically used their GAME framework natively, though there was an older ElizaOS integration through the Virtuals ACP plugin.Now I'll check whether Arena trading agents are framework-locked or can be driven by external runtimes like ElizaOS.

Analysis
No — it's not too late for either one. Virtuals deliberately decoupled the agent identity from the runtime, so the framework behind your agent is swappable at any time. Here's how it breaks down for your two agents.
Why it works
A Virtuals agent (both your ACP agent and your Arena agent #1213) is fundamentally a non-custodial agent wallet + on-chain registration, not a hosted bot tied to one framework. The "brain" is whatever runtime you connect via the ACP Node SDK v2 or the acp-cli. The v2 SDK is explicitly LLM/framework-agnostic — session.availableTools(), session.toMessages(), and session.executeTool() are designed to plug into any agent loop, including an ElizaOS action/service. So you can stand up an ElizaOS agent today and wire it to your existing agent wallet without re-registering anything.
For the ACP agent
- The integration shape is: ElizaOS runtime hosts a service that runs
AcpAgent.create()from@virtuals-protocol/acp-node-v2with thePrivyAlchemyEvmProviderAdapter(you pull thewalletId+signerPrivateKeyfrom the Virtuals UI), then mapagent.on("entry", ...)job events into Eliza actions. - One thing to check first: if your agent was registered on the legacy v1 SDK, app.virtuals.io will show a "Deprecated Legacy ACP, Upgrade Now" banner — run the upgrade (or
acp agent migrate) before wiring anything, since v1 (@virtuals-protocol/acp-node) is archived and deprecated. The migration generates a new Privy-managed wallet but keeps your agent identity. (migration guide) - Naming-collision warning:
@elizaos/plugin-acpis NOT Virtuals ACP — it's the "Agent Client Protocol" for IDE/gateway integration. Don't install it expecting Virtuals commerce; you'd build a thin Eliza plugin/service aroundacp-node-v2instead.
For the Arena trading agent
Even more straightforward. Per the Arena docs, the requirements are: a Virtuals agent wallet, USDC on Base, and the dgclaw-skill installed "in your agent runtime" — any runtime. Your wallet, Hyperliquid sub-account, on-chain registration, and leaderboard history all live on the Virtuals side and survive a runtime swap. The only hard rule is that trades must route through the Arena agent on ACP to be scored.
Two practical notes from your own setup:
- You already run agent #1213 through the Hermit/AlfaClub runtime with dgclaw-skill v2 (per your repo's operational notes), so moving to ElizaOS means re-pointing that skill at the Eliza runtime — not starting over.
- Be careful with the ACP session rotation: ACP refresh tokens are single-use. When you stand up the ElizaOS runtime, do a fresh browser
acp configureas the owning wallet for the new runtime and clear the old token triplet — re-running configure from previously capturedACP_*env values will poison the working session (you've hit this before with the Railway volume).
You also already have an Eliza runtime in this repo (frontend/server/agents/eliza/ on Railway), so if you want to host the Virtuals agent inside ElizaOS, the scaffolding pattern is familiar. The main decision is whether to run it as a separate Eliza deployment or another character on existing infra — happy to sketch that wiring if you want to go ahead.
Virtuals ACP is runtime-agnostic, with the agent identity registered on app.virtuals.io while the actual runtime can be anything—the ACP Node SDK, CLI, or any framework wrapping those tools. ElizaOS could serve as the agent's brain, with the ACP SDK integrated as a plugin or service within the Eliza runtime.
For the Arena agent, the same principle applies: the skill (dgclaw-skill) can run on any runtime, and since the workspace already has an agent runtime driving it, migrating to ElizaOS would just mean re-pointing the same agent wallet and skill to the new runtime. The workspace already has Eliza set up, so this is definitely feasible.
The key caveats are ensuring the ACP agent is on v2 (legacy agents show a deprecation banner but the identity persists), being careful not to confuse @elizaos/plugin-acp (which is Agent Client Protocol for IDE integration, not Virtuals ACP), and handling the Arena agent's wallet migration properly.
Engagement brief
Analysis
I'll do this. First let me survey what's already in place — the existing Eliza runtime, any ACP credentials in your env, and how the Arena/dgclaw lane is currently wired — so I build on what you have instead of duplicating it.
The user is asking me to integrate ElizaOS with their Virtuals agents, which involves setting up an ElizaOS runtime that connects to their Virtuals ACP agent through the protocol library, and potentially reconfiguring the Arena dgclaw-skill. This is a complex task with several architectural decisions to consider, like whether to deploy it separately or extend the existing Eliza runtime in the frontend.
The user wants me to execute this rather than just plan it, but I'll need credentials from them (walletId and signerPrivateKey from the Virtuals UI) that only they can provide. Given that the Railway XMTP Keepr agent is production-critical, adding a Virtuals ACP service directly into that runtime could be risky, so a separate runner might be safer. My first step is to explore the existing Eliza agent structure, check the .env file for any existing ACP-related variables, and look at how dgclaw is currently set up.

I'm debugging a grep command that's searching for "acp-node" in the frontend package.json file. The command exited with status 1, but the output seems incomplete—it shows the separator but nothing after it, which suggests the grep found no matches and the subsequent echo command that should print the exit code didn't display anything either.
The real issue is that acp-node-v2 exists in node_modules but isn't listed in any package.json or lockfile. This suggests the package was installed but the manifest wasn't saved—possibly because a pnpm add command was interrupted or a git checkout reverted the changes. I need to figure out the correct version from node_modules, add it to frontend/package.json, and run pnpm install to sync the lockfile. First, I should check whether frontend is its own workspace root by looking for a pnpm-workspace.yaml file there.The SDK is in node_modules but missing from package.json and the lockfile.

Done — the Virtuals ACP bridge is built, verified, and pushed to main (commit 96fa792).
What you got
Your ElizaOS-driven bridge to your app.virtuals.io ACP agent, using the acp-node-v2 event-driven SDK. It lives at frontend/server/agents/eliza/plugins/virtuals/:
service.ts—VirtualsAcpServiceruns theAcpAgentlifecycle. On every incoming job-room entry, it builds a prompt from the job's availableJobSessiontools and conversation history, asks your existing Eliza LLM service for a strict one-line JSON decision, and executes the chosen tool (respond, negotiate, deliver, complete/reject).- Safety rails, enforced in code, not the prompt:
setBudget/fundamounts are clamped toVIRTUALS_ACP_MAX_BUDGET_USDC(default 5), thefundtool is hidden entirely unlessVIRTUALS_ACP_AUTO_FUND=1, andVIRTUALS_ACP_AUTO_LLM=0gives you an observe-only mode that logs entries without acting. - Chat commands:
/virtuals statusand/virtuals browse <keyword>from XMTP chat. - Standalone runner:
pnpm -C frontend agent:virtualsruns the bridge as its own process (with optional/healthzendpoint), so the Railway Keepr primary is never touched. The in-process path is also gated and fail-open — a broken SDK can't block agent boot. - Runbook: docs/operations/virtuals-acp-bridge.md, plus a documented
VIRTUALS_ACP_*block infrontend/.env.example.
Your Arena trading agent (degen.virtuals.io/agents/1213) is untouched — it stays on the existing /arena dgclaw + acp-cli lane.
One thing I caught during final checks: the earlier pnpm add had put the SDK in node_modules but never persisted it to package.json/lockfile — a fresh clone would have failed to build. That's fixed and committed. Verification: typecheck clean, lint clean, 13/13 new tests passing.
To turn it on
Grab three values from your agent's page on app.virtuals.io (wallet address, Privy wallet ID, session signer key), set them in .env with VIRTUALS_ACP_ENABLED=1, and run pnpm -C frontend agent:virtuals. I'd start with VIRTUALS_ACP_AUTO_LLM=0 for a day to watch what jobs come in before letting the LLM act.
Engagement brief
Analysis
You can absolutely still use it — nothing changed for that agent. Let me clarify the split, because the two Virtuals products work differently:
degen.virtuals.io/agents/1213 (Arena trading agent) — this already works today through your existing /arena lane (dgclaw-skill + acp-cli running in the Hermit runtime, with the AlfaClub counter-trade runner on room 1659). I deliberately didn't touch it. Arena agents aren't driven by the acp-node-v2 SDK at all — Arena is its own competition product where the agent trades Hyperliquid perps via the dgclaw CLI, so the new bridge wouldn't apply to it even in principle.
app.virtuals.io ACP agent — this is what the new ElizaOS bridge I just shipped connects to. ACP is the buyer/seller job marketplace (job offers, negotiation, escrow, deliverables), and that's the surface acp-node-v2 exposes. The LLM-driven loop I built handles those job sessions.
So the honest answer to your original question ("is it too late to use ElizaOS for either agent"):
- ACP agent: done — ElizaOS now drives it via the new bridge.
- Arena agent 1213: it's not that you can't — it's that ElizaOS would play a different role there. Arena has no job-session API to plug into; what ElizaOS could do for 1213 is make the trading decisions — i.e., an Eliza LLM loop that reads the room/market context (like the Hyperliquid snapshot wiring that already exists for room 1659) and decides when to call the existing
runArenaTradepath, instead of the current deterministic counter-trade engine.
If you want that, I can build it as a gated decision layer on top of the existing arena client — same safety pattern as the ACP bridge (dry-run mode, trade-size clamps from ARENA_MAX_TRADE_SIZE_USD, allowlisted assets). Want me to?
The user is asking whether they can use the Arena trading agent at degen.virtuals.io/agents/1213, and I'm clarifying that yes, it already works through the existing /arena lane with dgclaw-skill and acp-cli running in the Hermit runtime. The new ElizaOS bridge I built is specifically for the app.virtuals.io ACP agent, which is different — the Arena/trading agent operates independently and isn't driven by acp-node-v2 job sessions.
If they want ElizaOS to autonomously drive trading decisions for agent 1213, that would require a separate integration where I wire the Eliza LLM to the arena lane, which I could build. For now, the existing /arena commands already control agent 1213 directly through Hyperliquid via the dgclaw CLI. Let me check what the arena client currently supports — it has status checks, trade execution, and agent creation capabilities, plus a counter-trade runner.
Engagement brief
Analysis
I'll build that. First let me re-read the existing counter-trade engine/runner and the arena client to see exactly where the LLM decision layer should hook in.
The user wants to add an LLM decision layer to the existing counter-trading system for Arena agent 1213, where Eliza will decide when and how to counter-trade room positions using the current arena trade execution pipeline. I'm starting by examining the existing counter-trade engine files to understand the current architecture.
Tools invoked: Read, Read
Analysis
The counter-trade pipeline is already in place with deterministic guardrails via deriveCounterTradeDecision, and now I need to layer in an LLM decision component that sits after those checks pass. The idea is to let the LLM decide whether to actually execute the trade and potentially dial down the size or leverage, but never increase it.
For safety, I'm thinking of an environment gate to toggle the LLM layer on/off, then feed the LLM the incoming fill details (action, side, leverage, notional, coin, price), the market snapshot from the room's Hyperliquid data, the current counter-wallet positions, and the deterministic decision itself. The LLM returns a structured JSON response with execute/skip, size and leverage multipliers clamped to [0,1], and a reason. If the LLM fails or returns unparseable output, the system falls back to executing the deterministic decision—that way the counter-trading strategy keeps running even if the advisory layer goes down.
For implementation, I'm planning a new module in the alfaclub folder that handles the LLM advisor logic, reading the environment flags for enabled/disabled and fallback behavior, then dynamically importing the ElizaLlmService to avoid tight coupling with the eliza module.
The advisor will parse the LLM response into a verdict object with either an execute action (with size and leverage multipliers clamped to [0.1, 1]) or a skip action, then wire this into the counter-trade runner after the daily cap is applied so the LLM sees the final notional amount. When leverage gets multiplied, I'll clamp it back to at least 0.25 using the same quarter-rounding logic, and if it falls below that floor I'll just skip the trade. I'll also include market context like the counter-wallet positions and fill details in the prompt to keep it compact, and append the LLM's reasoning to the room post.
I need to add a decisionLane: 'llm' field to the log for tracking, write unit tests for the prompt builder and verdict parser, add environment variables to the example config, and create a new operations doc to explain the LLM counter-trade feature. Before implementing, I should check the generateResponse signature in the LLM service and see how the virtuals service calls it so I can follow the same pattern.I'll add an Eliza LLM decision layer to vet counter-trades within the existing risk caps, then check how the Virtuals service calls the LLM to match that pattern.

I'm wondering if the counter-trade runner in the alfaclub directory can safely import from the agents/eliza module, given the server-core boundary guard that's in place.

Tools invoked: Grep, Shell
Analysis
I'm concerned about a layering violation if _lib imports from agents/eliza/llm.ts, since _lib currently doesn't depend on that module. I need to figure out where runCounterTradeLoop actually executes—whether it's on Railway Hermit or possibly triggered via a Vercel cron endpoint—because if it runs on Vercel, pulling in the llm module could bloat the function, though the module itself is just a thin fetch wrapper.
Tools invoked: Read, Grep
Analysis
The runner executes through both the Railway ticker and Vercel API handler, with llm.ts importing only utilities from _lib and local error/rate-limit modules—keeping it pure fetch-based without core dependencies. Rather than importing from _lib/alfaclub which would create backwards layering, I should create a dedicated LLM advisor module under server/_lib/alfa to maintain clean architecture.
I'm considering whether to use dynamic imports for the eliza LLM service to avoid circular dependencies and enable fail-open behavior. The workspace rule allows dynamic imports when there's a documented circular-dependency reason, and since chatBridge.ts already uses this pattern for lazy-loading, it's acceptable here. I checked for existing LLM clients in _lib—remoteAi.ts exists but the eliza llm.ts only depends on _lib plus two small eliza files, so a static import would technically work but violates conceptual layering. No guard currently checks _lib → agents/eliza imports, and there's no precedent for it, so I'll go with a documented dynamic import in the advisor for both fail-open and layering compliance.
I'm creating a new counterTradeLlmAdvisor.ts file under server/_lib/alfaclub with a function to read the counter-trade LLM configuration from environment variables.
Now I'm designing the LLM advisor as a vetting layer that receives the fill summary, deterministic proposal, counter wallet positions, and recent usage, then returns a JSON verdict with an action (execute, skip, or downsize), a size factor between 0 and 1, and reasoning. On LLM failure or parse errors, it defaults to executing the deterministic decision (fail-open). I'll create pure helper functions to build the advisor prompt, parse the verdict, and apply it to the proposal.
In the runner, after the daily-cap clamping, I'll call the advisor and handle the verdict—if it says skip, I'll record it with the reason; if downsize, I'll scale the notional (and skip if it falls below a floor). The advisor reason gets logged but doesn't change the room post format. For configuration, I'll add the new environment variables to .env.example near the existing counter-trade settings and check counterTradeConfig.ts to follow the existing conventions.I'm setting up the LLM advisor in _lib/alfaclub with a lazy import to keep it fail-open, and I'll check the config module conventions first.

Analysis
I'm setting up a new TypeScript file for the counter-trade LLM advisor with configuration flags to control whether it's enabled and whether it operates in advisory mode (logging only) or gate mode (can veto or downsize trades).
I'm defining pure helper functions to build the advisor prompt and parse the LLM's response into a verdict with an optional size factor (clamped between 0.1 and 1, never increasing position size or changing direction), plus an async function that lazy-imports the Eliza LLM service to avoid circular dependencies and keep bundle sizes lean.
I'm thinking through the layering — the LLM service imports from _lib utilities, so importing it back from _lib/alfaclub could create a cycle, which is why lazy-loading with documentation makes sense here.
The LLM gets context about the fill, the deterministic decision, wallet state, and usage caps, then returns a one-line JSON with a verdict to execute or skip and an optional size reduction factor. Safety constraints are strict: the LLM can only veto or shrink, never increase size or flip the side, and any failure defaults to either allowing the deterministic decision or blocking it based on configuration.
I'll wire this into the runner after the daily-cap calculation—if the advisor says skip, I'll record it with a llm_veto reason; if it scales the notional down, I'll execute with the reduced size. The room post stays unchanged. For implementation, I need to create the advisor module with config reading and pure helpers, wire it into the runner, add tests with dependency injection for the LLM call, update .env.example with the new environment variables, and add a short operations doc. Then I'll check if the existing e2e tests need adjustments.
I should also verify the Hyperliquid types to confirm the exact field names for the clearinghouse state—specifically whether the asset positions use coin or something else for the asset identifier.
Tools invoked: TodoWrite, Grep

I'm setting up the advisor module with a configuration type that controls whether counter-trade advice is enabled, how it operates (advisory or gating mode), and what happens on timeout or undersized trades. The advice verdict type is being defined to handle different recommendation outcomes.
The core functions handle reading config, building the LLM prompt with system and user messages, parsing the LLM's JSON response into structured advice, and clamping the size factor to valid bounds. The main adviseCounterTrade function accepts a generate dependency (defaulting to the Eliza LLM service) and uses AbortSignal.timeout for request cancellation.
In the runner, after computing the counter notional and pair, I'm integrating the advice check before executing the arena trade—if the LLM vetoes in gate mode, I record the skip reason and continue; otherwise I apply the size factor to the final notional amount.
I'm refactoring the module to export a single applyCounterTradeLlmGate function that encapsulates all the mode and advisory logic, returning a clean result with proceed flag, adjusted notional, and optional veto reason. When the feature is disabled, it returns proceed=true with the input notional unchanged. The system prompt positions the LLM as a risk manager deciding whether to proceed, outputting JSON only, with a timeout via AbortSignal and structured logging for each advice decision.I'm building the LLM advisor module now, where the deterministic engine remains authoritative and the LLM can only veto or reduce candidate trades, with advisory and gate modes available.

Now wire it into the runner, between the deterministic sizing and execution.
I'm realizing the e2e test mocks modules, so when counterTradeRunner imports counterTradeLlmAdvisor, it needs to handle the static import chain through llm.ts and its dependencies like remoteAi, logging, and telemetry—which should work fine in vitest. Since the advisor is disabled by default, there shouldn't be actual LLM calls, but I need to check the gate logic to make sure it's properly gating the behavior.
For the implementation, I'll wire the LLM gate into the runner right after calculating the counter notional and checking the pair, calling applyCounterTradeLlmGate with context. If it doesn't proceed, I'll record it as skipped with the reason and continue; otherwise I'll use the gate's notional value as the final amount before building the identity config.

The test stubs the necessary environment variables but not the LLM-specific ones, which should be fine. I'll keep the import chain as-is for the Vercel handler since the LLM module is fetch-based and shouldn't cause problems.

Done — pushed to main (commit f3e1b33). Your Arena agent 1213 now has ElizaOS in the counter-trading loop.
How it works
Your room counter-trading already runs: the deterministic engine watches the room 1659 portfolio wallet's Hyperliquid fills and opens the opposite side via agent 1213. What I added is an Eliza LLM risk-review gate that sits between the deterministic decision and execution (frontend/server/_lib/alfaclub/counterTradeLlmAdvisor.ts).
For each candidate counter-trade, the model sees the room wallet's fill (action/side/pair/price/leverage), the sized counter-trade, your counter wallet's open positions and liquidation distances, and how much of the hourly/daily caps are already used. It then returns a strict JSON verdict. Its power is deliberately one-directional:
- it can veto a counter-trade (recorded as
skipped/llm_veto:<reason>in the ledger) - it can shrink the size (
sizeFactorbetween 0 and 1) - it can never enlarge size, raise leverage, flip side, or invent trades — all the existing caps, cooldowns, and the liquidation-distance guard stay authoritative
If the LLM is down or returns garbage, the default is fail-open: the deterministic counter-trade runs as it does today.
To turn it on (Railway Hermit service, the single executor)
ALFACLUB_COUNTER_TRADE_LLM_ENABLED=1
ALFACLUB_COUNTER_TRADE_LLM_MODE=advisory # shadow mode first
In advisory mode every decision is logged (counter_trade.llm_advice) but execution is unchanged — run that for a few days and check whether its vetoes line up with trades you'd have wanted to skip. When you're happy, flip ALFACLUB_COUNTER_TRADE_LLM_MODE=gate and the vetoes/downsizing go live. Full details are in the updated runbook at docs/operations/alfaclub-counter-trade-production-runbook.md.
Verification: typecheck and lint clean, all 26 alfaclub test files passing (322 tests), including the existing counter-trade end-to-end suite running through the new gate.
