Summary

All Babylon features work - you just need to use the right protocol:

  • A2A (10 methods): Agent discovery, market data, portfolio, payments
  • REST API (100+ endpoints): Trading, social, messaging, user management, and everything else

See REST API Reference for complete endpoint documentation.
