Building the Next Big Thing

Originally published on X on October 26, 2026.

As you’re reading this: we’ve been building Hot Bot for 24 days straight.

Even if you are not technically savvy: you can imagine what it feels like to build an agentic trading platform that will impact the future of trading, all in under a month so far.

Starting October 2nd, we joined the @clawpumptech AnsemHack on the final day. From week to week: we’ve moved from a hackathon project to a full blown agentic trading software business.

You can see the recap of what led to us winning the Claw Pump hackathon here.

That said, here are some of the latest updates we've pushed in preparation for going live with Hot Bot.

Killer Speed for Killer Swaps

We rebuilt the swap path from scratch, on our own custom model, indexer, and machines, then tested it on main net.

Trades land on chain in under 50ms. Our fastest so far: 25ms.

Speed is one of the biggest factors for good trades so we made sure to prioritize this.

Fort Knox

It’s been a brutal week for majority of tech companies having no shortage of security hacks.

Railway breached.
OVHcloud’s tools backdoored.
Trading platforms drained.
Bloom hack yesterday.

A lot of this was driven by bad actors with agentic tools.

Luckily our team is familiar with agentic tools and how to put blockers in place for these situations.

So we have quintuple checked security through our entire stack for YOUR SAKE.

We cannot emphasize the importance for security now more than ever and that our team has made security a top priority.

We Aren’t a Wrapper. There is Only Hot Bot

We cut out every middleman we could:

Built our own market indexer
Built our own swap
Built our own custom database, on dedicated bare metal machines
Host our own private network; No Tailscale, no Railway

No shortcuts have been taken.

We are here to provide a superior experience where relying on external companies safety regulations is not a concern of ours.

Hackathon Project to Agentic Trading Software Business in 24 Days

From week to week we’ve moved from a hackathon project to a full blown agentic trading software business: Agentic Trading as a Software.

Our internal bar is extremely high for user experience, and we have remained focused on removing noise to keep you dialed on what matters in trading.

Mobile overhaul that is easy to navigate, clean and intuitive.

Clear signal for charts, strategies, portfolios, and coin pages

Faster loading times for the app on desktop and mobile for a better trading experience.

We now offer SSO, wallet, and email sign in options to choose how you sign in, offering a seamless experience.

Every little detail matters to us, and you will see that.

Leveling Up Your Team

The entire agentic trading team has improved.

ShieldBot now looks at who’s behind a coin, not just the coin, improving performance for spotting rugs and bad actors consistently.
SniperBot is always learning from breakout entries, and when to sit out. This helps pick the right time to enter a token, or pass on a token that was picked but isn't in the zone where the R:R is best.
TraderBot shows every coin it holds at a glance: total balance, profit, next exit, making it easy to scan your holdings and how your team is performing.

Portfolios: Our flagship Product has Mastered the Art of Holding

We understand that not everyone wants to trade charts 24/7 in & out.

We built Portfolios as the solution for seasoned traders and retail traders alike.

Portfolios is the 'Chat GPT' experience for investing in Solana coins, making it easy, non intimidating, and so far we've been getting phenomenal results.

See Here.

During testing of portfolios, we injected 30 SOL into a portfolio of Fresh Picks.

12 days of passive investing, the current balance is 63 today, up 111%.

We ran a test, buying the same coins and just holding, and the balance went down to 7 sol, a major loss.

This is the beauty of portfolios. A “DCA” feel that is easy to set up with the superior intelligence of our specialized models baked in.

Our Responsibility

Commoditization of specialized trading intelligence for all.

Impossible Deadlines Drive Innovation

We understand the speed that AI and crypto industries inherently move at, so we have taken the liberty of putting insane deadlines on ourselves to drive the product forward in a market where it is needed now more than ever.

It's amazing to see how many traders are excited to use Hot Bot and we are preparing to go live today. Know that we are balancing building brand new tech safely with putting this in your hands for your benefit.

You Won't Know that We're Building the Future of Trading, but there will be Signs

We have been named alongside some of the most important companies in the @solana ecosystem.

Today is an exciting day for us: but this is still Day 0.

We are building Hot Bot as a long term agentic trading software business to provide a powerful tool to traders right now.
The long term vision is much bigger than that.
After we master the trenches with you:
our options to scale horizontally are massive.
The social features we can implement to create an economic flywheel and how it will impact our growth.
The user experience is optimized to be a platform to successfully onboard retail traders with Portfolios that can scale out into other asset classes.
The compounding value of our data, models, and custom infra stack is how we build a priceless moat.

In Closing

Just know that we are traders ourselves, obsessed with user experience, product development, and the impact that Hot Bot will have in the New Era of Trading:

Economic freedom, actually open to everyone.

That's the future we are building.

Thanks for all of your support.
