Walt is preparing an AI-driven perpetuals trading feature that would route activity through Mira, ChatGPT, and Claude. The setup keeps execution off by default and limits AI agents to a separate account that users must fund.

What it means

Perpetual futures are already a familiar crypto trading product, and Walt is now tying that market to AI agents through Mira, ChatGPT, and Claude. The design keeps execution disabled at the start, with trading activity separated into an account that the user funds. That puts the user, not the model, at the center of permissioning for this new workflow.

For traders, the immediate change is less about a new token and more about a new way to interact with a derivatives venue. A dedicated account and default-off execution mean users will need to decide when an AI system is allowed to act and with what balance. That structure may appeal to people who want automation without handing over their main account.

AI execution in perpetual futures sits at the intersection of two risky systems: leveraged crypto trading and automated decision-making. The appeal is wider access, but the trade-off is that more users may rely on models that can act quickly in a market known for sharp moves. Walt’s setup shows how firms are trying to add automation while still putting explicit controls around it.
