Client
An early-stage, Systango-owned AI-powered decentralised trading platform for crypto options and price forecasting, built in-house from pre-seed concept through production launch and Chainlink BUILD Program acceptance.
Challenge
A steep learning curve for DeFi options: crypto derivatives are notoriously hard for both new and experienced traders to navigate.
A trust deficit in DeFi data: without verifiable, transparent market data, DeFi derivatives platforms struggle to earn user trust.
An unvalidated path to scale: the platform needed to prove it could handle real concurrent load before any marketing push.
Building AI-assisted trading safely: converting natural language into trade actions without sacrificing accuracy or guardrails.
Objectives
- Build a conversational AI agent that turns natural language into trade actions
- Deliver real-time, quantitative price forecasting for crypto options
- Integrate decentralised, verifiable market data via Chainlink
- Migrate to GCP and validate scalability under real concurrent load
- Launch into production and qualify for the Chainlink BUILD Program
What We Built
-
A conversational AI trading agent: an OpenAI-powered chatbot letting users ask for live prices, get forecast-based suggestions, and book trades in natural language.
-
A Monte Carlo pricing engine: standalone price forecasting microservice feeding real-time and historical quotes.
-
On-chain trade settlement: wallet-based execution via MetaMask and WalletConnect, with Chainlink Functions and Automation for decentralised, verifiable price data.
-
A GCP production migration: containerised on Kubernetes, validated via load testing at up to 200 concurrent users.
-
AI-assisted engineering: used extensively for coding during the 2.0 to 2.1 migration, completing a major architecture optimisation within a limited window without breaking existing flows.
-
Governed AI and secure settlement: on-chain execution via GCP KMS, conversational guardrails keeping the AI agent on-topic, and no PII ever sent to the LLM.
