One person, running an on-chain hedge fund Following DeFi for the past few years, I’ve always had this awkward feeling: protocols are getting easier to use, but stringing them together into an actual strategy still feels like a “team effort” @almanak If you want to do leveraged looped lending, you need to keep an eye on the interest rate curves of Aave, Morpho, and Compound all at once. If you’re into concentrated liquidity, Uniswap, Curve, and Aerodrome each have their own logic. Add in hedging, rebalancing, and liquidation alerts—it’s a whole process that traditionally relies on the division of labor within a quant team. For individual users, it often boils down to staring at a few dashboards and manually moving funds around. Recently, a friend introduced me to a project called Almanak. In one sentence: it’s a non-custodial on-chain strategy platform where you can describe a strategy in natural language or Python, simulate it, and then deploy it to your own wallet to run 24/7 automatically. What I value most is its architecture. Strategies are deployed in your own Safe smart account, with permissions strictly limited to what the strategy requires, and you can revoke them at any time. In other words, Almanak never touches your funds from start to finish. It’s more like a tool than a custodian. There’s a dedicated research agent to help you find signals. During the strategy-building phase, the built-in AI, Almanak Code, converts your plain-language description into real, auditable code. The code is yours, not a black box. For simulations, you can paper trade directly on a mainnet fork to test everything before putting real money on the line. Once deployed, it monitors position health in real time and provides alerts. The supported scope is also quite specific: leveraged looped lending (Aave, Morpho, Compound, Spark), concentrated liquidity (Uniswap, Curve, Aerodrome), delta-neutral basis strategies (GMX perpetuals + spot/lending), stablecoin rotation, and hybrid strategies combining these modules. Currently, it supports 7 EVM chains: Base, Arbitrum, Ethereum, Polygon, Optimism, BNB Chain, and Avalanche. Of course, there’s still more to be done, like multi-chain arbitrage strategies for tokenized stocks. I’ve talked to the team, and they’re already working on it. It seems like these features will be officially launched soon. https://app.almanak.co/invite?code=nSXTFEoh
