Crypto trading is fragmented, painful, and closed to machines.
The pain compounds: the more venues appear, the worse it gets — and the fastest-growing new “user,” the autonomous trading agent, literally can’t onboard the normal way.
Pain 01 · Fragmentation
Liquidity is everywhere
Split across 40+ CEXes and on-chain perp-DEXes. Traders keep accounts, keys, and balances everywhere.
Pain 02 · UX friction
On-chain is hostile
EVM wallets, gas, bridging, seed phrases, signing popups. Most users bounce before their first trade.
Pain 03 · No machine rails
Agents can’t pay-per-use
The data & execution AI agents need has no clean, pay-per-call access. Every integration is a bespoke API-key deal.
02 The solution
One account. 43 venues. Zero EVM headache.
For the user, EVM disappears — it’s plumbing, not a surface. They pay and trade in Solana USDC while we do the hard multi-chain signing silently.
One login
Email · passkey · wallet
Wallets are auto-generated and encrypted. The user never sees a seed phrase or an EVM popup.
43 venues, one interface
CEX + on-chain, unified
Centralized exchanges and perp-DEXes traded from the same terminal — positions and balances in one view.
Payable by machines
Pay-per-call endpoints
The same market data + execution is exposed as machine-payable endpoints for AI agents.
The abstractionUnder the hood it’s multi-chain. On the surface it’s one Solana-native account that pays in USDC.
03 The product
A professional terminal — plus the tools nobody bundles together.
Retail gets a Robinhood-simple entry; pros get a Bloomberg-lite terminal; quants get agents and an API. Same platform, three audiences.
Unified terminal
Multi-charts, DOM ladder order book, tick charts, one-tap trading, mobile.
Pro charting
TradingView-grade charts with Gann fans and VWAP indicators.
Funding-rate arb scanner
Cross-exchange funding + basis, every venue side by side.
Hyperliquid, dYdX & dozens more moved real volume on-chain. Aggregation is suddenly valuable.
Curve 03
The agent economy arrived
Autonomous agents + on-chain micropayments (x402) mean data & execution sell per call, to software.

Community / usage
The pitchWe earn from seats, volume, and machines — three uncorrelated growth vectors. A user who never subscribes still generates builder-fee revenue every time they trade; a bot that never signs up still pays $0.05 a call.
06 The flywheel
Free trading is the funnel, not the product.
The builder fee does double duty: it’s revenue and the reason to upgrade — paying users stop paying the fee. Monetize the free tier, then convert it.

Why it turnsEach subscriber trades more and invites others; more volume enriches the data the API sells; API revenue funds the acquisition that fills the free tier again.
07 Market
A large, liquid, always-on market — plus a brand-new one.
TAM · today’s market
Crypto derivatives trade well over $100B a day across CEXes and perp-DEXes (public aggregators). Even a fractional builder fee on routed volume is a large number.
SAM · reachable
Solana-onboardable traders + agent developers.
SOM · tomorrow’s wedge
The machine/agent economy — paying per call for data & execution — is nascent and uncontested: a wedge we can own before anyone else contests it.
We don’t need to win the whole market. A single-digit share of routed volume plus a modest API footprint clears the model. Use cited, dated public figures here — investors will check.
08 Traction
Built, live, and already earning four ways.
First 90 days · targets
Organic signups · $0 spend — 500–1,500
First paying subscribers — 20–50
First API-paying bots (x402 / MPP) — 3–10
W4 retention (activated) — ≥ 25%
Design-partner quants — 5–10
Positive-payback channel — ≥ 1
Live & earning today — product maturity
43 venues integrated behind one account
Live Pro / Elite subscriptions billed in Solana USDC
Live $0.05 pay-per-call API across ~14 market-data endpoints
Builder-fee routing live on major perp-DEXes
At seed, small-but-real beats big-but-projected. Lead with what’s live and the earliest real signal — then be explicit: this round funds finding a repeatable, positive-payback acquisition channel, not scale you don’t have yet.
09 Competition & moat
Aggregators exist. None are Solana-native and machine-payable.
Breadth of venues → · Machine-payable ↑
Moat 01 · Breadth
43 live integrations is years of work to replicate.
Moat 02 · UX abstraction
Silent multi-chain signing behind a Solana-only surface is genuinely hard.
Moat 03 · The toll booth
We’re already the machine-payable access layer for agents.
Moat 04 · Token
$TTC aligns a community competitors would have to buy.
10 Go-to-market
Three wedges, one platform.
Each wedge feeds a different revenue stream, and they cross-sell: a free retail user’s volume funds us while we convert them; a quant brings API spend.
Wedge 01 · Retail
Solana onboarding + free tier
Growth via referrals, the $TTC community, and social / Telegram signal distribution.
Wedge 02 · Pros & quants
Terminal, scanners, agents
Land-and-expand into subscriptions off the depth of the toolset.
Wedge 03 · Developers & agents
Pay-per-call API + MCP
Distribution via x402 directories and the developer ecosystem.

This capital is about distribution, not invention — the product is live and monetizing. The growth dollars buy experiments to find a channel that pays back, not blank-cheque ad spend. Recommended split; adjust to plan.
12 The ask

The product is live and monetizing. This lean round buys ~12–18 months to prove one thing — a repeatable, positive-payback acquisition channel — then raise the A on it.
