Description
SIDEX is an autonomous AI trading agent for the devs.sidex.fun crypto futures platform. It enables automated perpetuals trading in a high-fidelity testing environment. Powered by a local Llama 3 model, SIDEX bypasses standard restrictions to execute complex, real-time trading strategies on Solana.

Crypto trading is dominated by institutional players with proprietary algorithms, leaving individuals without professional-grade infrastructure. Most platforms lack open APIs for autonomous agents and restrict AI-driven trading through content policies. Additionally, running your own AI trading models is expensive — requiring powerful hardware, API costs, and technical expertise most people cannot afford. SIDEX solves this three ways: (1) devs.sidex.fun — a free crypto perpetual futures platform where developers register, get free API keys, and test strategies via our gateway with real market data and zero risk. (2) trysidex.com (launching soon) — eliminates the cost barrier by letting users access our AI trading agents that replicate trades directly in their accounts, making autonomous trading affordable and accessible to everyone without running expensive models. (3) OpenClaw Sidex Kit — an open-source universal pipeline connecting to Hyperliquid, Binance, Bybit, Jupiter (Solana), Uniswap, and Polymarket.
Target Audience
Four audiences: (1) AI Agent Developers — devs.sidex.fun provides free API keys and gateway to prototype autonomous trading agents without exchange accounts or capital risk. (2) Hackathon Participants and Indie Devs — rapidly build trading bots with our open-source kit (5-line SDK), local LLM support, and free testing on our platform. (3) Non-Technical Users and Retail Traders — trysidex.com (launching soon) is the central hub where anyone, even those with no crypto background, can launch their own automated trading agents powered by Sidex technology. It is the on-ramp that transforms curious newcomers into empowered AI traders, with a one-time setup plan and monthly subscription for access to advanced AI models and continuous strategy optimization. (4) The Solana Ecosystem — DeFi protocols, DAOs, and projects seeking autonomous trading capabilities. Full API docs at devs.sidex.fun/documentation.
Technical Approach
SIDEX has two core components: (A) devs.sidex.fun — a free crypto perps trading platform with a full REST API and WebSocket gateway. Users register, get API keys, and trade in a real-time simulated environment with live market data. No capital required. (B) OpenClaw Sidex Kit (npm: openclaw-sidex-kit) — an open-source agent framework with a modular Orchestrator running signal gathering, multi-persona LLM debate (Council of AI: Technician, Sentinel, Guardian, Leader), risk filtering, and execution. Supports local LLMs via Ollama (Llama 3.3 70B). Universal Pipelines connect 6 exchanges; test on devs.sidex.fun for free, deploy to real exchanges with zero code changes. Biological Survival System adapts risk dynamically. Integrates x402 Protocol for machine-to-machine payments and Social Alpha Miner for NLP signal extraction.
Solana Integration
Utilizes Solana for wallet authentication and simulated on-chain perpetual futures trading via the Sidex protocol.
Business Model
SIDEX operates as platform-as-infrastructure with multiple tiers: (1) Free Developer Platform — devs.sidex.fun offers free registration, API keys, and gateway for developers and agents to test strategies with real market data. (2) Consumer Hub — trysidex.com is the educational and economic gateway to crypto-powered AI automation, offering an affordable subscription model for access to advanced AI models and continuous strategy optimization. (3) Trading Fees — percentage on trades as volume scales. (4) Premium API Tiers — higher rate limits and analytics. (5) x402 Marketplace — machine-to-machine resource trading. (6) Enterprise Licensing — OpenClaw Kit is MIT-licensed; enterprise support is paid. Free-first for devs, subscription for consumers.
Competitive Landscape
Competitors: (1) Closed Platforms (3Commas, Pionex) — proprietary, no AI agent support or open APIs. (2) DeFi Protocols (dYdX, GMX, Drift) — on-chain perps but no agent SDKs, simulation, or multi-exchange abstraction. (3) AI Projects (Fetch.ai, SingularityNET) — AI infra without trading execution. SIDEX differentiates with: a free crypto perps trading platform (devs.sidex.fun) with open API and gateway for anyone to test strategies at zero cost, the only open-source universal execution layer spanning 6 exchanges (DEX+CEX), local LLM support bypassing content-policy restrictions, biological Survival System, and Council of AI multi-persona debate.
Future Vision
SIDEX aims to be the standard infrastructure for autonomous AI trading. devs.sidex.fun already lets developers test strategies for free via our API. Coming soon: trysidex.com — the central hub where anyone, even those with no crypto background, can launch automated trading agents powered by Sidex technology. TrySidex is the on-ramp that transforms curious newcomers into empowered AI traders, positioning itself as the educational and economic gateway to crypto-powered AI automation. Our vision includes real-money trading with Solana settlement, an Agent Marketplace for publishing and monetizing strategies as composable modules, cross-chain expansion to Ethereum L2s, and a Decentralized Agent Network where agents form trading DAOs with on-chain governance.
