Democratizing Financial Intelligence: Introducing Almanak's Phase 2

The growing complexity of crypto markets, coupled with the rise of AI-driven trading, has created a significant imbalance between institutional players and individual investors. Almanak approaches this challenge with a practical solution: equipping users with AI agents that can perform the same analysis, strategy development, and execution tasks previously available only to large financial institutions. Developed over 18 months with support from several venture capital firms, the platform is preparing for its full release and token launch in 2025. At its core, Almanak addresses a fundamental question: how can sophisticated financial tools become accessible to everyone in an increasingly automated market landscape?

1. What is Almanak and why should you care?

Almanak is a team of quants & engineers that aims to democratize access to high performance asset management through AI Agents.

Think of it as a one-stop shop where you built your own army of institutional-grade “financial AIs”.

The company was formed to tackle a set of systemic & universal problems: as crypto markets become increasingly complex, faster and AI dominated, it simply became impossible for non-institutional users to keep up & participate.

Some of those problems are:

• Growing market complexity & information overload: Rapidly evolving crypto markets and AI models produce an ever-expanding maze of protocols and data-points. The participation barrier rises, users stay behind & opportunities stay untapped.

• Technological Access Inequality: Sophisticated AI and quant stacks remain the privilege of a select few, contradicting DeFi’s original open ethos and harming its global adoption potential.

• Tool–Infrastructure Asymmetry: Manual trading on high-powered blockchains is like riding a bicycle on a futuristic space highway: time-consuming, error-prone, and hopelessly inefficient. Most users lack the automation and tooling access, leaving them vulnerable while those with advanced capabilities pull even further ahead.

Almanak believes that the way to address these problems is with institutional-grade personal AI agents - autonomous programs, which can, on users’ behalf, analyse, optimise and execute sophisticated tasks and financial strategies.

Tasks such as market data analysis, strategy development, optimisation and high-speed execution could all be automated and delegated to the user's own portfolio of verifiable agents, ultimately making personal asset management faster, safer and more efficient.

Almanak, in a nutshell, is an end-to-end platform that allows users to do just that: create, optimize (sic!) & manage sophisticated financial strategies using AI agents.

The team is backed by a long list of top VCs and advisors such as RockawayX, Delphi Labs, Hashkey, AppWorks, Matrix Partners, Bankless Ventures, and more.

It has spent 18+ months developing a proprietary technological solution, and in 2025 it intends to achieve 2 significant milestones:

• Full Almanak platform release

• Almanak token launch (TGE)

2. What is unique about Almanak's approach?

Almanak platform fuses a hedge-fund-like quant infrastructure, with autonomous AI agents management workstation.

What makes the approach unique?

1.Institutional-Grade Quant Stack: Almanak provides strategy development infrastructure enabling Users (and their AI agents) to build, optimize, and manage sophisticated financial strategies.

Unlike some of the other agentic systems, Almanak relies on a structured workflow and infrastructure similar to traditional hedge funds and big financial institutions. It allows for verifiability of the strategies prior to deploying them on-chain. Strategies      are constantly backtested and simulated by Almanak agents to monitor strategy's expected performance and risks and update it if needed.

You can read more about our approach in our documentation.

2. Multi-agent strategy creation & management (Agentic Workflow): Every user on Almanak will be able to summon multiple AI Agent assistants to assist them with every step of the strategy development lifecycle – think of them as personal quants powered by advanced large language models (LLMs).

These Agents would be deeply integrated into the platform’s quant-stack and have been fine-tuned for quantitative reasoning and strategy coding. They aren’t generic chatbots; they understand DeFi and pragmatically assist with users’ investment goals. What will these agents be able to do? Quite a lot:

a. Up-to-date DeFi Integration: New protocols emerge weekly, making it hard to keep      up. Almanak’s Agents automate this by instantly integrating with DeFi venues on the      fly. They can ingest the API/ABI of any DeFi protocol and make it available in users      strategy, effectively plugging into DEXes, money markets, derivatives platforms as      soon as those are on the scene. This allows them to always be “up to speed” and      positively influence their strategy development capacities.

b. Financial Strategy Generation, Personalization and Development: Users will be able      to describe their idea, expected returns and risk tolerance in plain English, like “I      want a yield strategy that hedges ETH volatility,” and ideate with an agent about the      target strategy. Once ideation is complete, another specialised agent will write the      full code of the target strategy and then another audit the strategy code.

c. Autonomous Testing & Optimization: Once a strategy is created, the Agent doesn’t      blindly deploy it – it rigorously backtests and simulates it, as well as audits it. Agents      will automatically run thousands of scenario simulations, parameter tweaks, and      stress tests to fine-tune the strategy’s performance. This is like having a hundred      analysts and QA engineers working for the user, ensuring the strategy is solidly      tested before deployment.

d. On-Chain Execution & Vigilance: After deployment, Agents continue to watch over      strategies. They react in real-time to market changes. If the world “falls apart” (say a      stablecoin de-pegs or a liquidity pool is hacked), the Agent can automatically wind      down positions or take defensive actions to protect users' capital. Risk management      isn’t an afterthought – it’s built into the Agent’s duties.

e. Verifiable & Auditable: Almanak differentiates itself from other "agentic solutions”      where users fully rely on black-boxed LLM reasoning, prone to hallucination and      indirect prompt injection. In Almanak, strategy code, decision processes, agent      uptimes, and transaction logs can always be verified.

f. Trustless & Secure Execution: Security and trustlessness are integral to the platform’s      core. Almanak is fully non-custodial – users never have to deposit funds into a black      box and always retain full control over their funds.

Strategy privacy is ensured with Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), letting      strategies run securely without exposing users code.

This unique combination of privacy-preserving computing and smart-contract      custody is critical: users get to keep their alpha, their funds safe and under                  control, even as they let autonomous agents execute trades for them.

The above approach is to turn the “agentify the whole investment process” idea into reality. Behind the scenes, the team is continuously training and experimenting with fine-tuned, open and closed-source models to push the envelope of our agent’s financial intelligence. The goal: an open platform where users can own portfolios of AI agents that would score in the 99th percentile of quant reasoning benchmarks, and ultimately outperform even veteran human quants.

(Financial) power to the people!

3. What’s the Roadmap?

Almanak has a phased roadmap to get from today’s infrastructure beta tests (Phase 2), to a widely adopted platform (Phase 3). Each phase brings new capabilities and a broader audience. Here’s a breakdown of where Almanak is headed next:

Phase 1 - Private Beta & Infrastructure Testing [LIVE NOW]

Almanak kicked off 2025 with a closed beta of an end-to-end quant stack workflow, currently available through an SDK to whitelisted users. Select community members have been onboarded to battle-test the stack.

During this phase, the focus is on proving out the tech and testing edge cases: running real strategies in a controlled environment, refining the backend and preparing the platform to onboard larger amounts of money.

Phase 2 - Product Launch & TGE - [Starting in H1 2025]

Upon this phase, Almanak will open up the platform to the larger public. The public launch will be supported by two major platform features:

a. Multi-agent strategy builder, as described in the chapter above: Users will be able      to      tap into a “swarm” technology to guide them through full strategy      development and      management life cycle. Agents will use Almanak’s structured      quant workflow to      oversee institutional-grade, sophisticated financial strategies.

b. One-click vaults that will allow users to build liquid, fungible, and composable      positions and Defi products. Vaults will allow passive investors to participate in the      ecosystem as Liquidity Providers.

Achieving these product milestones will also coincide with Almanak’s Token Generation Event (TGE) - more on this soon.

Phase 3 - Growth Stage - [Starting in H2 2025]

Post TGE, the team’s focus will move towards attracting larger capital and growing the overall TVL of the platform. On top of that:

a. Liquidity & Strategies Mining rewards will kick-off on the platform,

b. Direct BD efforts to bring institutional capital under agentic management,

c. Partnership campaigns with specific protocols aimed at incentivizing the agentic volume from the Almanak platform (see the Token Economy paper)

d. Integrations with TradFi venues

e. Mobile Application
