What Almanak does

Almanak is a DeFi agent framework company that provides a Python SDK and managed web platform for developing, backtesting, and deploying autonomous on-chain trading strategies. Its core technology is an intent-based architecture in which developers express high-level trading logic (Swap, LP, Borrow) that the framework compiles into optimized blockchain transactions, supported by a gateway-only security model using non-custodial Safe smart accounts with Zodiac Roles permissioning. The platform spans 12 chains and 40+ protocol connectors including Uniswap, Aave, Morpho, GMX, Compound, Pendle, Polymarket, and Solana-native venues, with backtesting on Anvil forks, Monte Carlo simulation, and an AI coding agent (Almanak Code) that integrates Claude and GPT-4.

The company serves quantitative traders, algorithmic traders, and DeFi developers who need institutional-grade testing and production infrastructure for autonomous strategies without writing bespoke smart-contract code. Its go-to-market is product-led: the SDK is open-source under Apache-2.0 and distributed via PyPI and GitHub, with a managed deployment platform at app.almanak.co and a Discord/Telegram-led developer community. Almanak (legally Algo Theory INC., incorporated in the USA) is venture-backed with $8.45M raised in August 2025 from AppWorks, Bankless Ventures, Delphi Labs, HashKey Capital, Matrix Partners, NEAR Foundation, RockawayX, Shima Capital, and Sparkle Ventures, and is headquartered in Zürich, Switzerland. A December 2025 strategic partnership with Bybit and Mantle extended distribution into CEX listing and the Mantle Network, with deployed token and liquidity pools supporting cross-venue AI-driven strategies. No pricing tiers or revenue figures are publicly disclosed.

Core offering

Almanak provides an intent-based Python SDK and web platform for developing, backtesting, and deploying autonomous DeFi trading agents. Strategies are expressed as high-level intents (Swap, LP, Borrow) that the framework compiles into optimized on-chain transactions across 12 blockchains and 20+ protocol connectors. Execution runs through a non-custodial gateway architecture using Safe smart accounts, with built-in PnL simulation, paper trading on Anvil forks, Monte Carlo analysis, and canary deployments.

Product overview

Almanak is a DeFi Agent Framework providing a unified platform for developing, testing, and deploying autonomous trading strategies across DeFi protocols. The product portfolio consists of the Almanak SDK (Python framework with CLI, connectors, and gateway architecture), the Almanak Platform (web application with Edge signals, Build, and Deploy phases), and Almanak Code (AI-powered coding assistant). The core architecture uses an intent-based model where strategies express high-level trading logic as intents (Swap, LP, Borrow) that the Intent Compiler optimizes and executes. Strategies run through a secure gateway architecture with non-custodial Safe smart accounts, and are tested via comprehensive backtesting with PnL simulation and paper trading on Anvil forks. The platform supports 12 chains and 40+ protocol connectors including Uniswap, Aave, GMX, and others.

Products and services

• Almanak SDK An open-source Python SDK (Apache-2.0) for developers and quantitative traders to develop, test, and deploy autonomous DeFi agents. Includes a CLI, intent-based strategy framework, backtesting engine, multi-chain/multi-protocol connectors, and a gateway security architecture. Distributed via `pip install almanak` from PyPI.
• Almanak Platform A web-based platform (app.almanak.co) for building, deploying, and managing autonomous DeFi agents. Organizes work in three phases: Edge (real-time DeFi opportunity signals), Build (strategy development with the Almanak Code AI agent), and Deploy (launching strategies via non-custodial Safe smart accounts). Targeted at quant traders and developers building institutional-grade on-chain strategies.
• Almanak Code A terminal-based AI coding agent that understands trading strategies and provides workspace-aware chat, debugging, and code improvement assistance. Supports multi-provider AI models including Claude and GPT-4, with persistent sessions, built-in bash/file tools, and custom agent/skill definitions.

Partnerships

Two partnerships are on record, tiered core.

• BybitcoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 10 December 2025Bybit partnered with Almanak and Mantle to integrate AI-powered quantitative trading strategies on-chain. Almanak's strategy engine deploys on Mantle Network with liquidity provided through a new liquidity pool, enabling AI-driven trading activity across centralized (Bybit) and decentralized venues. The collaboration followed Almanak's listing on Bybit and deployment of its token on Mantle Network.
• MantlecoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 10 December 2025Mantle partnered with Bybit and Almanak to deploy AI-powered quantitative trading strategies on-chain. Almanak's token is deployed on Mantle Network, with Mantle's high-performance infrastructure supporting AI-managed trading activities. Liquidity pools are launched to support the on-chain strategies.

Direct peers

• Enso: Enso is an intent-based DeFi abstraction layer that lets developers compose multi-step on-chain actions with a single integration. Comparable to Almanak because both abstract away per-protocol complexity and target developers building cross-protocol DeFi workflows.
• Instadapp (Lite / Avocado): Instadapp Lite (Avocado) is an intent-based DeFi management layer that aggregates lending, DEX and bridge actions behind a unified interface. Comparable to Almanak in target audience (DeFi power users) and in providing a single abstraction over multi-protocol execution.
• Teahouse Finance: Teahouse is a DeFi yield-strategy platform that automates multi-protocol yield farming and portfolio rebalancing. Comparable to Almanak in the autonomous yield-strategy category, with a stronger focus on managed vaults rather than developer SDKs.
• Yearn Finance: Yearn is a leading DeFi yield aggregator running automated vault strategies across multiple protocols. Comparable to Almanak as both automate DeFi investment strategies; Yearn is vaults-first while Almanak is SDK/agent-first.
• Beefy Finance: Beefy is a multi-chain yield aggregator that automates compounding and rebalancing across 20+ chains. Comparable to Almanak in multi-chain DeFi automation, though Beefy focuses on yield compounding rather than developer-extensible strategy agents.
• Set Protocol (Index Coop): Index Coop / Set Protocol builds automated, rules-based DeFi index and yield products. Comparable to Almanak in offering systematic DeFi investment strategies, with an on-chain index/asset-management focus rather than a developer SDK.
• Enzyme (formerly Melon Protocol): Enzyme is an on-chain asset management protocol that lets managers run systematic DeFi strategies with non-custodial vaults. Comparable to Almanak in enabling automated, non-custodial DeFi strategy execution, with a manager-UI focus vs Almanak's developer SDK.
• dHEDGE: dHEDGE is a non-custodial DeFi asset management protocol enabling traders to publish on-chain strategy vaults. Comparable to Almanak in enabling systematic DeFi strategies with on-chain execution; dHEDGE is vault-first, Almanak is agent-framework-first.

Broad incumbents

• Pendle Finance: Pendle is a yield-trading protocol enabling tokenization and trading of future yield. Comparable to Almanak in the DeFi yield strategy category and as an integrated connector in Almanak's protocol library.
• Hyperliquid: Hyperliquid is a high-performance perpetuals DEX with API-first, algorithmic-trader-friendly design. Comparable to Almanak as a target venue and integration for algorithmic/agentic DeFi trading strategies.
