I'd take a bet many of us stopped using Magic Newton's DCA bot and Wayfinder’s transaction bot post-TGE.
While these products are great and solve a purpose, they usually face the same walls and limitations:
1. Require funds to be sent to the agent wallet.
2. They mostly just run simple strategies like swap, bridge, DCA, etc. Nothing complex.
3. Require manual confirmation for some steps (which kills true automation).
4. No portfolio-wide guardrails which means agents act in isolation, risking overexposure.

Introducing Circuit by
@0xfoobar.
@CircuitAI is simply a finance platform that lets you run AI agents directly on your existing crypto wallet.
Below are a few things that make Circuit different:
1. Wallet-first: Works with existing wallets (Rabby, Phantom, etc), and funds never leave your wallet.
2. Safety by design: Agents only suggest transactions; they can’t auto-execute them or access your keys.
(e.g., "Withdraw $2k from Aave and deposit in Curve to capture APY.")
3. Policy Engine: This is a ruleset you program for every agent to follow to keep things in check.
(e.g., "Only use whitelisted protocols", "Never spend >$1k/day.")
4. Secure enclave signing: Approved transactions are signed in a hardware vault that never exposes your private key.

Why care about Circuit?
1. You stay in control of your funds.
2. Agents work in coordination under the same ruleset.
3. I see Circuit being easily integrated into Superapps like Defidotapp, Baseapp, etc
4. Even if an agent is compromised, the policy engine keeps you safe.
5. The stacked team of a dozen with members from various backgrounds like Kraken, Delegate, etc
__________
In summary, Circuit is building a home for AI agents that will make Defi usage easier for everyone.
The product isn't live yet, but should be soon. Looking forward to this one.
