TLDR: Our first 14 days of building Hot Bot in public flew by.

Our Oct 15 recap on X had the highlights. Here they are, and why we build.

The First Two Weeks

We set out to build a category-disrupting software company in public.

We started shipping a category-defining product: agentic trading as a service.

We announced ShieldBot and RSISS. Each one is a game changer as a standalone product.

We introduced Portfolios.

We entered the Colosseum hackathon on its last day.

16 traders were testing Hot Bot, 10 of them added that day.

Why We Build

In 2026, the trenches taught you that 10 minutes is a "long hold."

"Just bundle, everyone's doing it."

In the current market, a few are winning by selling a pipe dream to the many to fund their lifestyle.

It's time to put an end to the "culture" of bundled coins, scammers being praised, and traders blindly following influencer calls.

Where Trading Is Going

Necessity is the mother of invention.

Crypto markets are notoriously resilient.

Traders quickly adopt new chains and new tools, and go where the money flows.

Agentic trading will be the only option moving forward.

And here you are.

In Closing (for now)

That was our first two weeks.

We have so much more to show and so much further to go.
