Every crypto trading tool assumes the same thing: the user wants to stare at charts. Candlesticks, order books, depth charts, technical indicators layered on top of technical indicators. The interface is optimized for a person who will sit in front of a screen and make manual decisions based on visual pattern recognition.
Polydesk starts from a different assumption. What if the user wants to state an intent — “optimize my yield across these protocols” or “follow this trader’s prediction market bets” — and let agents execute it?
Eight agents, two domains
Four agents for prediction markets. Analyst computes fair value and sentiment. Scout tracks and mirrors whale positions. Momentum rides narrative velocity into price movement. Sentinel guards positions with trailing stops and reversal detection.
Four agents for DeFi. Yield Farmer rebalances stablecoins across protocols for best APY. Liquidation Guardian monitors health factors and auto-repays before liquidation. Arbitrageur captures cross-DEX price spreads. Airdrop Hunter qualifies for upcoming token drops automatically.
Multi-chain: Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Polygon, Solana. Six protocol modules build real on-chain calldata — Jupiter, Aave v3, Lido, Marinade, marginfi, Compound v3.
The intelligence engine
The most interesting part isn’t the agents themselves — it’s the data pipeline underneath. GDELT, RSS, Reddit, Bluesky, and X scraped on 15-30 minute cycles. Claude classifies and scores narrative velocity. ChromaDB vector store embeds 2,000+ active Polymarket markets for semantic discovery in under 50ms. Tavily web search injects real-time context. Four price oracles — Pyth at 400ms, Chainlink at 12s, Birdeye for Solana tokens, DeFiLlama for cross-chain — aggregate with depeg detection and arbitrage scanning.
The core thesis: narrative velocity predicts Polymarket price movement. A built-in backtest validates this with directional accuracy and P&L metrics. Not sure yet if the signal is strong enough to be consistent, but the early results are interesting enough to keep exploring.
The canvas
The workspace is a visual canvas. Drag markets and DeFi protocols onto it, deploy agents, chain them with edges, watch results flow. Nine pre-built templates. Every DeFi template starts from a wallet node. Power users compose custom agent chains. Everyone else picks Autopilot — Conservative (yield only), Balanced (yield + predictions + guardian), Aggressive (all eight agents).
The Autopilot wizard is two steps: connect wallet, scan portfolio. The wallet scan reads on-chain positions across protocols and recommends agents based on holdings. Whether this is genuinely useful or just a more complicated way to lose money is something the data will have to answer.
