What is Aegis
A non-custodial, wallet-first automation platform for crypto trading across CEXs and DEXs.
Aegis is a non-custodial, wallet-first platform that automates crypto trading across centralized exchanges (CEXs) and decentralized exchanges (DEXs). You connect your own wallet, link your own exchange API keys, and Aegis runs strategies, backtests, and risk controls on your behalf — without ever holding your funds.
There is no email, no password, and no sign-up. You authenticate by signing a message with your wallet using Sign-In With Ethereum (SIWE), and you can link several wallets so any verified one can recover your account.
What Aegis is
- An automation and analytics layer that sits on top of exchanges you already control.
- A quant engine with 5 built-in strategies, 10 indicators, and a real backtesting engine.
- A deterministic risk engine with per-symbol and portfolio limits and a kill switch.
What Aegis is NOT
- Not a broker or an exchange. Trades execute on your own connected venues.
- Never a custodian. Aegis never holds your funds. A CEX API key is rejected unless withdrawals are disabled (trade-only), and on DEXs you sign every transaction yourself.
- Not a signal-selling service. Automation starts disabled — you opt in.
How it works
- Connect your wallet and sign in with SIWE.
- Link an exchange with a trade-only API key.
