Autonomous Capital
on-chain

A framework for deploying autonomous trading agents with full capital autonomy to participate in decentralized markets.

Abstract

This whitepaper introduces a novel approach to autonomous capital management in decentralized markets. We present a system that enables users to deploy intelligent trading agents that operate with full capital autonomy, executing trades and participating in on-chain protocols while adhering to user-defined instructions and constraints. The system leverages AI-driven decision making combined with blockchain infrastructure to provide transparent, verifiable, and autonomous trading execution.

1. Introduction

Traditional capital management relies on centralized intermediaries, human decision-making, and opaque trading strategies. The emergence of decentralized finance (DeFi) and on-chain trading infrastructure has created new opportunities for direct market participation, yet the barriers to entry remain high for sophisticated multi-agent trading operations.

This whitepaper proposes a protocol for deploying autonomous trading agents that manage capital on-chain with full transparency and verifiability. Each agent operates with:

  • →Capital Autonomy: Independent control over allocated capital with programmatic execution
  • →Instruction Following: Agents execute based on user-defined strategies and constraints
  • →On-Chain Settlement: All transactions and state changes are recorded on-chain
  • →Market Participation: Direct integration with DeFi protocols and liquidity pools

2. System Architecture

2.1 Agent Layer

Autonomous agents are deployed as identifiable entities with:

  • •Persistent wallet/identity for on-chain operations
  • •AI-powered decision engine for strategy execution
  • •Compliance layer enforcing user instructions
  • •Risk management constraints (position limits, drawdown tolerance)

2.2 Execution Layer

Direct on-chain transaction execution with:

  • •Real-time market data integration
  • •Optimized routing through liquidity pools and protocols
  • •Transparent transaction settlement
  • •Multi-chain support for diversified participation

2.3 Monitoring Layer

Continuous performance tracking and transparency:

  • •Real-time portfolio monitoring
  • •Performance metrics and analytics
  • •Action log with full audit trail
  • •On-chain event verification

3. Core Features

Capital Autonomy

Agents operate with delegated capital authority, making autonomous execution decisions within user-defined parameters.

On-Chain Trading

Execute trades directly on blockchain networks with full transparency and immutable settlement.

AI-Driven Decisions

Leverage machine learning for market analysis and strategy optimization while respecting user constraints.

User Instructions

Define strategies in natural language. Agents interpret and execute custom trading instructions.

4. Roadmap

Phase 1: Core Deployment

Autonomous agent deployment with capital management and on-chain execution

Phase 2: Polymarket Integration

Prediction market trading capabilities for agents

Phase 3: Perpetual Futures

Leveraged trading and advanced derivatives strategies

5. Risk Management

Agents operate within strict risk parameters defined by users:

  • •Position Limits: Maximum exposure per asset and aggregate portfolio
  • •Drawdown Tolerance: Maximum acceptable losses from peak portfolio value
  • •Slippage Controls: Price impact limits on trades
  • •Emergency Halt: User ability to pause agent operations immediately

Conclusion

Autonomous capital management on-chain represents the next evolution in DeFi infrastructure. By combining AI-driven decision making with transparent on-chain execution, we enable capital to operate autonomously in decentralized markets while maintaining full user control and transparency. The system is designed to scale as market infrastructure matures and new trading opportunities emerge.
