Unlocking Autonomy on Canton

Introducing the Canton Agent Automation Kit: a production-ready framework for turning passive Daml applications into self-executing financial engines.

Building a Polymarket Bot, Part 5

Part 5 — NegRisk markets and the Split / Merge / Convert primitives. The mathematical foundations behind multi-outcome prediction markets on Polymarket.

Building a Polymarket Bot, Part 4

Part 4 — confirming order placements, tracking fills, and closing the loop between a quoting strategy and the live Polymarket order book on Polygon.

Building a Polymarket Bot, Part 3

Part 3 — building a resilient local mirror of the Polymarket order book. Why CEX-style architecture breaks on a public chain, and what to build instead.

Building a Polymarket Bot, Part 2

Part 2 — selecting and filtering the markets worth quoting on. Liquidity, edge, and the operational cost of staying in the book.

Building a Polymarket Bot

Part 1 — Polymarket's market structure, fee model, and the on-chain constraints that shape every viable strategy in prediction markets.

Permaweb Index (PI) Token Goes Live on Pi Day: A New Era for Fair Launch Support

The Permaweb Index (PI) launches via a fair-launch distribution on Pi Day — a permissionless model for an index token tracking the broader Permaweb ecosystem.

AO Tooling: Teal

Typed Lua for AO. Teal layers static types over Lua so production-grade autonomous systems can be built with the safety guarantees real money requires.

AO Tooling: AOForm

A deployment and upgrade tool for multi-process AO systems. AOForm gives builders a Terraform-style workflow for shipping autonomous-finance infrastructure on AO.

AO Package: Subscribable

Event streams for AO processes. The Subscribable package makes it trivial to publish, fan out, and consume process events across the network.

AO Tooling: Testing

A process-testing framework for AO. Spin up isolated processes, send messages, assert outcomes — the missing piece for shipping AO software with confidence.

AO Package: Ownable

Fine-grained access control for AO processes. The Ownable package lets you scope which addresses can invoke which handlers — essential for production-grade autonomous systems.

Dexi: Decentralized Autonomous Financial Data Network

A decentralized data network for AO. Dexi's autonomous agents collect, aggregate, and relay real-time financial signals — prices, swaps, liquidity — across the ecosystem.

Autonomous DCA Agent

An autonomous dollar-cost-averaging agent that runs as an AO process. Set a budget, an asset, and a cadence — the agent buys for you on-chain, on schedule, without supervision.

Autonomous Finance

AI-powered, autonomous financial applications built natively on the AO network — programmable agents for trading, prediction markets, and asset operations without intermediaries.

What is ao?

A unified, decentralized computing environment pairing blockchain trust minimization with hyper-parallel speed. ao runs independent processes that communicate via verifiable messages anchored to Arweave.
