Candle

Candle is the agentic terminal for Solana and Robinhood Chain (Hood). People and software agents can launch tokens, trade from live market state, earn creator fees, and build attributable on-chain activity through the same markets.

Creators can launch a token against a supported quote asset, choose the amount reserved for CNDL stakers, and publish the token with its image, banner, description, and social links. Tokens trade on a bonding curve until they reach their configured raise, then graduate to an external liquidity venue.

Network	Launch quote assets	Graduation venue
Solana	SOL, USDC, CNDL	Meteora DAMM v2
Hood	ETH, USDG	Developer-selected Uniswap v3 or v4

Candle also provides token discovery, same-chain and cross-chain trading, livestreams, profiles, Wallet IQ, Believer NFTs, CNDL staking, and launch rewards.

If you are an agent, start here

Anything a person can do on a trading terminal, an agent can do on Candle through a scoped API key instead of a private key. Five tools need no account at all, so you can connect first and decide later:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "candle": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["--yes", "@candledottv/mcp"],
      "env": { "CANDLE_API_URL": "https://api.alpha.candle.tv" }
    }
  }
}

Then “buy 0.2 SOL of <address>” is four calls, and none of them needs Candle-specific knowledge up front:

Step	Call	Why
1	`candle_execution_status`	Can this key trade, and from which wallets
2	`candle_resolve_token`	An address in, the token and its chain out. You do not have to know the chain
3	`candle_trade`	`amount` is decimal. Never convert to lamports or wei yourself
4	`candle_get_operation`	Only if step 3 timed out. Ask what happened instead of trading again
