What Donut does

Donut Labs Inc. operates D0, an agentic AI trading platform purpose-built for crypto markets. The product monitors markets continuously, fuses charts, on-chain data, news, and derivatives into unified trading theses, and executes trades across crypto spot, perpetuals (up to 150x leverage), prediction markets, and DeFi on multiple chains (Solana plus seven EVMs, plus HyperLiquid). The technical core is a constrained autonomy architecture organized in four layers: Verified State (facts injected with temporal metadata and provenance typing before reasoning), Typed Boundary (model outputs structured StrategyAction objects), Constraint Layer (deterministic policy enforcement outside the reasoning path), and Closed-Loop Evolution (verified outcomes feeding evaluation and policy tuning). This separates probabilistic research from typed, validated execution so the model cannot optimize around safety boundaries.

Donut sells direct-to-consumer through two self-serve subscription tiers: D0 at $69 per month (spot via Jupiter, perps up to 150x, HyperLiquid integration, 200+ data tools, unlimited alerts, daily market brief, strategy backtesting) and D0 Pro at $199 per month, which adds DeFi yield management (Kamino, Meteora, Sanctum, Pendle), prediction markets (Polymarket, DFlow, Allora), advanced strategies (grid, funding-rate arbitrage, rebalancing), automation workflows, cross-chain transfers, and interactive reports. Both plans include a 7-day free trial and annual billing with a two-month discount. Distribution is web self-serve plus a Telegram interface, targeting active and pro crypto traders globally.

The company is backed by $22 million in disclosed funding across a May 2025 pre-seed ($7M) and a November 2025 seed ($15M), with investors including BITKRAFT, Hack VC, HSG, Makers Fund, Sky9 Capital, Altos Ventures, and ecosystem contributors from Solana, Sui, and Monad. A pre-launch waitlist of over 160,000 users indicates strong organic demand. Donut Labs Inc. is incorporated as an Exempted Company in the Cayman Islands, was founded in 2025, and operates with an 11-50 person team.

Core offering

Donut builds D0, an autonomous AI trading agent that continuously monitors crypto markets, fuses charts, on-chain, news, and derivatives data into a trading thesis, and executes trades across spot, perpetuals (up to 150x leverage), prediction markets, and DeFi protocols on Solana, 7 EVM chains, and HyperLiquid. D0 is delivered via a self-serve web platform and Telegram with two subscription tiers (D0 at $69/month and D0 Pro at $199/month, both with 7-day free trials) targeted at active and professional retail crypto traders. The product is differentiated by a proprietary constrained autonomy architecture that mechanically enforces safety boundaries outside the model's reasoning space, preventing AI hallucination from reaching execution in financial markets.

Product overview

Donut Labs Inc. offers an AI-powered agentic trading platform consisting of D0 (the core proactive AI trading agent) and D0 Pro (the premium tier). The D0 agent monitors markets continuously, analyzes signals across multiple data sources, and executes trades across crypto, perpetuals, prediction markets, and DeFi. The Donut Browser was the earlier browser-based product that embedded autonomous trading agents. The platform is built on a proprietary constrained autonomy architecture with four layers (Verified State, Typed Boundary, Constraint Layer, Closed-Loop Evolution) that enforces mechanical trading boundaries outside the model's reasoning space. D0 Pro adds DeFi yield management, prediction market access, advanced automated strategies, and cross-chain capabilities.

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• Hyperliquid: Hyperliquid is a leading on-chain perpetual futures DEX that D0 directly integrates with for up to 150× leverage perps. It is both a partner and a comparable platform in the on-chain perps space, and could expand its own agentic surface.
• Polymarket: Polymarket is the leading on-chain prediction market that D0 Pro integrates with. As a category leader, it overlaps with D0's prediction-market offering and could itself launch AI-assisted trading tools.
• Drift Protocol: Drift is a Solana-based perpetual futures DEX displayed as a core partner on D0. It overlaps with D0 in on-chain perps trading for active traders and could expand into agentic interfaces itself.

Direct peers

• 3Commas: 3Commas is a long-standing retail crypto trading bot platform offering automated strategies, portfolio management, and multi-exchange connectivity for spot and derivatives. It is the closest direct peer to Donut in terms of serving active retail crypto traders with subscription-based automated trading.
• Cryptohopper: Cryptohopper is a subscription-based crypto trading bot platform with marketplace strategies, signal integrations, and multi-exchange support. Directly comparable to Donut in serving retail traders via tiered subscriptions and automation tooling.
• Bitsgap: Bitsgap provides automated crypto trading bots, portfolio management, and multi-exchange connectivity via subscription plans. Directly comparable to Donut as a retail-facing, PLG subscription trading automation product.
• Pionex: Pionex offers built-in crypto trading bots (grid, DCA, arbitrage) at retail-friendly pricing with subscription tiers. It overlaps with D0's grid/funding-rate arbitrage and automation workflows on the consumer-trader side.
• Jesse Trading: Jesse is an open-source algorithmic crypto trading framework focused on strategy development and backtesting. It overlaps with D0's backtesting and automated strategy execution in serving trader-developers, though more developer-centric.
• HaasOnline: HaasOnline (HaasBot) is a long-running crypto trading bot platform targeting serious retail traders with advanced automation. Comparable to D0 Pro in terms of advanced strategies, cross-market automation, and serious-trader positioning.

Broad incumbents

• Coinbase: Coinbase is the largest U.S. crypto exchange offering retail trading, custody, and increasingly AI-assisted features. As a broad incumbent, it competes with Donut for the active retail crypto trader segment and could ship comparable agentic features at scale.
