Write strategies in plain English and let AI evaluate markets and place trades. Everstrike is a decentralized exchange (DEX) for spot, perpetual futures, and perpetual options.

Public, read-only, no signup. ## For AI agents Paste this into your coding agent or AI client to get it started: ```text Starter prompt theme={"dark"} Read https://docs.everstrike.xyz/llms.txt and the pages it links for what you need. Connect to the Everstrike MCP server at https://mcp.everstrike.xyz/mcp (public and read-only: no API key needed). List the markets, then show me the BTC/USD ticker and its latest funding rate. ``` The MCP server gives market data only. It can't see an account or place orders; for that, see [API keys](https://docs.everstrike.io/account/api-keys.md). ## What is vibetrading? Vibetrading means writing your trading strategy as a natural-language prompt instead of manually placing orders. You describe what you want the AI to do (which markets to watch, the conditions that should trigger a trade, position sizing, and risk limits) and Everstrike handles the rest. A strategy defines three things: * **Markets to watch**: which assets and instruments the AI should monitor * **Instructions**: the conditions under which the AI should consider trading * **Minimum confidence**: a threshold the AI's confidence score must clear before any trade is submitted When the AI evaluates your strategy, it produces an **event** that records the decision, the confidence score, and the full trading context. You can review every event to understand exactly why the AI acted (or did not act). Strategies read live market data and technical indicators, and you can add extra data such as macro figures, Bitcoin network activity, DeFi liquidity and the Fear & Greed Index (see [Supported Data](https://docs.everstrike.io/ai/supported-data.md)). You do not need to write code. You do need to give the AI clear instructions, explicit position sizing, and defined risk limits so it can make decisions that match your intent. ## Choose your mode Everstrike supports two account modes. Pick the one that matches how you want to manage your wallet. > [tab] DEX Mode > > In DEX mode, you connect and control your own Web3 wallet (MetaMask, WalletConnect, or any compatible wallet). Your private keys and recovery phrase remain in your possession at all times. > > **Best for:** users who already have a Web3 wallet and want self-custody. > > **What you do:** > > * Connect a supported wallet (MetaMask or WalletConnect) > * Sign a one-time ownership message to link the wallet to your account > * Approve and sign each deposit and withdrawal transaction yourself > > **Your responsibility:** protect your recovery phrase. Everstrike cannot recover a wallet you no longer control. > [tab] CEX Mode > > In CEX mode, Everstrike creates and manages a wallet for you. You do not need an existing Web3 wallet: just sign up with your email and deposit funds. > > **Best for:** users who prefer a managed experience or are new to Web3. > > **What you do:** > > * Sign up with email > * Deposit funds through the standard interface > * Trade without managing wallet credentials > > **Trade-off:** you trust Everstrike with wallet custody. You do not control the underlying wallet credentials. > [!NOTE] > > Everstrike is currently in beta. The web interface may have non-critical bugs, and mainnet liquidity may not support very large trades. Before depositing mainnet funds, try the testnet at [app.testnet.everstrike.io](https://app.testnet.everstrike.io) to get comfortable with the platform at no cost.
