Walt launched AI agent perpetual contract trading, supporting ChatGPT and Claude

According to The Defiant, the Telegram crypto application Walt (formerly Wallet in Telegram) announced the launch of AI agent trading features on October 20. Users can connect to Mira developed by The Open Platform, OpenAI's ChatGPT, and Anthropic's Claude to manage perpetual contract positions. The connected agents can access real-time perpetual contract prices and market news, view user holdings, leverage, and liquidation risks, and open or close long and short positions based on instructions. They can also set simple rules such as take profit, stop loss, and dollar-cost averaging, monitoring positions around the clock.

In terms of security mechanisms, AI agents can only operate funds deposited in dedicated trading accounts and cannot withdraw or transfer funds. Order execution is turned off by default; agents can only analyze and suggest, and users must manually enable it to place actual orders. Users can set their own agent instructions and trading limits, view each step of their operations in real-time, and disconnect at any time. Walt's founder and CEO Andrew Rogozov stated that traditional trading applications are built around terminals, charts, and order tickets, requiring users to learn how to use them, while Telegram users already hold funds in Walt.

Walt's perpetual contract business launched in April this year through the decentralized exchange Lighter, offering over 50 markets and supporting up to 50x leverage, settled in USDT. The application was renamed from Wallet in Telegram to Walt on September 28, with developers claiming over 150 million users. Mira launched in February, surpassing 2 million users in May, with over 500,000 monthly active users. Additionally, Robinhood also released an AI trading agent based on dedicated accounts last month.
