User guides, developer documentation, and protocol specifications

Circuit lets you run any agent on your existing wallet.

In other words, Circuit is a consumer interface and general-purpose infrastructure for executing programmatic strategies on self-custodial wallets and other financial credentials.

The Status Quo

Today, crypto requires dedicated study and effort to use well. Like Linux terminal hackers of the ‘80s, a small group of people have learned how to execute sophisticated financial strategies through manual or automated means. Everyone else gets hacked, rugged, or retreats to a centralized custodian, hedge fund, or ETF.

The Future

In the future, crypto will be the backbone of all finance. Traditional finance asset classes will come onchain, and cryptonative asset classes will mature. This will happen because assets want to tap into global liquidity, users want to tap into global assets, faster settlement guarantees, bearer asset ownership, fracturing sovereignties, and more. But the status quo interfaces of Binance and Phantom aren’t good enough. As crypto matures from memecoin slingers to institutional capital, people will want to execute sophisticated strategies across all asset classes, self-custodially.

How Circuit Fixes This

Crypto (and all finance, but especially self-custodial crypto) has a painful failure mode: it's too hard to do everything yourself by hand. Your choices are:

(1) give your money to someone else and hope for the best

(2) keep your money yourself and do it all manually

The first has lockups, fees, asset limitations, and questionable fiduciaries. The second has intensive time demands, high learning curves, and hidden security risks.

Circuit introduces a third option: financial agents.

(3) keep your money yourself, running strategies coded by others, on hardened infrastructure

Agent finance means you can now run algorithmic strategies on your own self-custodial money. Some examples that are fully functional and running live today on Circuit:

  • Simple agents like yield farming

  • Entertaining agents like polymarket sports stat-arb

  • Complex agents like hyperliquid perp directional exposure

Comparisons

Agents can be probabilistic AI-assisted strategies or fully deterministic scripts written in Python/TypeScript.

Circuit offers several features not found anywhere else:

  • Run agents in a couple clicks from a simple UX, no technical expertise required

  • Agent inference logic is fully sandboxed from credentials and private keys

  • Set custom personalized spend limits and strategy limits

  • Compare historical performance, TVL, and real onchain actions across dozens of agents

  • Works on your existing wallet, instead of depositing into a third-party vault

  • Supports all major blockchains - Ethereum, Solana, Base, Polymarket, Hyperliquid, & more

Circuit's team is uniquely positioned to safely scale financial agents to billions of dollars of TVL:

  • CEO foobar spent years at Amazon training world-record-setting LLMs

  • CTO Thanh Luu built much of Kraken's zero-to-one infrastructure that safely custodies >$40 billion of assets

  • CAIO Joe Miller led AI Systematization at Bridgewater, ran his own solo hedge fund, did asset management at Yale, and has a PhD in biomedical engineering from Cornell

  • COO Spence Markel is a threepeat founder who spent a decade in corporate law and grew a previous consumer company to 30 million users
