Liquid's goal is to build the best possible trading interface for everyone by focusing on perpetual futures. Perpetual futures allow continuous leverage and trade twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. We are bringing these instruments to every accessible interface, including mobile applications, browser extensions, SMS, and conversational environments like Claude and ChatGPT.

Our user base has expanded rapidly. Two months ago, we had approximately fifteen hundred Co-Invest users, and we have now grown sevenfold to over ten thousand active users. Across our entire platform, our user base has grown from thirty-five thousand to well over sixty thousand traders with minimal direct marketing spend.

Perpetual futures represent the most efficient instrument for active traders because they provide continuous leverage, run around the clock, and are increasingly moving toward formal regulatory acceptance. We aggregate liquidity from leading perpetual venues so users get the best execution across every asset class.

Traders can set up scheduled routines in Claude that run continuously, such as executing a custom market scan and placing trades every single hour. Once an investor defines their algorithmic criteria, the AI agent carries out the process autonomously without requiring manual human oversight for every market movement.

We enforce strict permission scoping on all automated connections. Co-Invest can place and manage trades, but it has zero permission to withdraw funds. Even if an attacker compromised a user's conversational AI account, they would not be able to transfer money out of the account.

Centralized exchanges are fully custodial, meaning you become an unsecured creditor if the platform experiences insolvency. Furthermore, major centralized exchanges charge fees that can be up to ten times higher than decentralized aggregators while offering significantly lower liquidity on large volume orders.

While enabling automated memecoin trading would be technically trivial to implement, we view memecoins as speculative attention games that do not contribute to real capital formation. Co-Invest is designed to help traders make disciplined, intelligent financial decisions, so we intentionally restrict automated memecoin purchases.

AI models evaluate policy events by synthesizing prediction market probabilities, Congressional hearings, sentiment metrics, and news coverage. For example, prediction data currently prices in a low probability of passage, which suggests market upside is not yet priced in if regulatory clarity is achieved.

Legalizing advanced decentralized perpetual protocols in the United States directly challenges legacy futures monopolies. Decentralized platforms offer automated liquidation, continuous trading, and lower fee structures, which will force legacy exchanges to compete on technological efficiency.

Pre-IPO perpetual markets provide critical price discovery before official public listings occur. Historical data from pre-IPO contracts shows that decentralized markets have predicted initial public trading prints within one percent accuracy, giving institutional participants transparent benchmarks.

Traditional investors are moving into decentralized platforms very rapidly. When traditional market participants learn that they can gain pre-IPO synthetic exposure to high-growth AI companies and execute twenty-four-hour trades with lower friction, they readily migrate capital into aggregator platforms.

Every individual perpetual decentralized exchange possesses distinct advantages in fees, liquidity depth, and listed assets. By aggregating multiple decentralized order books into a single interface, Liquid gives traders optimal routing and forces underlying exchanges to compete for market share.

The compute rally has been driven by massive real demand for memory and processing power from frontier AI labs. While the sector has experienced sharp valuation increases, major AI developers continue to sign multi-billion-dollar power and data center commitments, ensuring sustained demand for hardware infrastructure.

Cloud-hosted agents operate in controlled, highly stable environments with continuous internet access and power. If a local agent runs on a personal computer that goes to sleep or disconnects from Wi-Fi, critical trading and risk management operations immediately fail.

We are chain-agnostic and focus strictly on delivering maximum value and yield to our users. If a new blockchain network offers compelling liquidity incentives and high staking yields, we will integrate deposits and list major native assets directly on our platform.
