What Minara AI does

Minara AI is a privately-held company founded in 2025 that operates an AI-native financial operating system for digital finance. The platform targets crypto-native traders, US equities and TradFi traders, quantitative and systematic traders, independent discretionary traders, and AI agent developers. Users access the product through a web app, native iOS/Android mobile apps, an npm CLI, and a REST API; the offering is sold entirely on a self-serve basis with no enterprise sales motion.

The product portfolio is organized around the full trading lifecycle. Chat (with Instant, Visual, and Report response modes) provides AI-powered research with inline source citations drawing from 40+ data providers. Autopilot Trading executes user-defined strategies 24/7 with mandatory TP/SL and trailing stops. Strategy Studio lets users author strategies in plain language, which Minara converts to Pine Runtime (TypeScript DSL) code, backtests against 10+ years of data, and deploys to Autopilot with one click. Workflow 2.0 enables visual no-code automation with triggers, logic, and actions. Copilot generates structured trade signals for perpetuals. Prediction Markets surfaces Hyperliquid binary outcome contracts with AI-estimated probability distributions. Minara Skills extends the platform as a skill pack installable into Claude Code, OpenClaw, Hermes, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code. Underpinning all of this is the proprietary DMind financial AI model served via a heterogeneous MoE inference engine.

Minara routes perpetual trade execution to two on-chain venues: Hyperliquid (self-settled Layer 1 via HyperBFT) and Lighter (zero-knowledge Layer 2). Spot trading covers 19 blockchain networks via a custodial smart wallet. Revenue derives from three subscription tiers (Lite $16/month, Starter $40/month, Pro $165/month), pay-as-you-go API access via the x402 protocol, maker/taker trading fees on Hyperliquid and Lighter, and cross-exchange transfer fees. Marketing is product-led through Discord, X (Twitter), Product Hunt, the company blog, and open-source distribution on Hugging Face and GitHub. Notable partners include Circle (USDC), Hyperliquid, Lighter, DMind AI (with Zhejiang University and Nanyang Technological University), MoonPay, and OpenClaw; SlowMist performed a security audit.

Revenue model

1. Subscription Plans: Minara generates primary revenue from three subscription tiers (Lite $16/month, Starter $40/month, Pro $165/month) billed monthly or annually (17% discount for annual). Higher tiers unlock more credits, active workflows, priority during peak times, and API access. Subscriptions are payable via USDC from Minara Spot wallet or credit card via Stripe.
2. API Access (Pay-As-You-Go): The Agent API offers pay-per-request billing via the x402 protocol using stablecoins (USDC). No subscription plan is required for this billing method. API Key access (requires Pro plan, $165/month) is an alternative for heavy users.
3. Trading Fees: Minara earns trading fees on perpetual trades executed through its platform. Fee structure varies by venue and trading mode: Autopilot/Strategy Studio on Hyperliquid: 0.030% maker / 0.060% taker (crypto), 0.018% maker / 0.024% taker (TradFi). Copilot/Manual trading: 0.055% maker / 0.075% taker (crypto), 0.043% maker / 0.039% taker (commodities & stocks), 0.080% maker / 0.086% taker (prediction markets). Lighter charges 0.020% maker/taker flat.
4. Cross-Exchange Transfer Fees: Fee revenue from transferring funds between Lighter and Hyperliquid wallets within Minara. Lighter deducts $3 per transfer; Hyperliquid deducts $1 per withdrawal from perps wallet.

Emerging players

• 3Commas: Automated crypto trading bot platform with smart trading, portfolio tracking, and grid/DCA bots. Comparable to Minara's Autopilot Trading and Strategy Studio offerings for the systematic retail trader segment.
• Cryptohopper: Cloud-based crypto trading bot platform with marketplace and AI-assisted strategy building. Comparable to Minara's Autopilot Trading and Strategy Studio for the algorithmic retail trader segment, with overlapping target audience.
• Messari: Crypto research, data, and intelligence platform serving institutional and professional crypto investors. Comparable to Minara's Deep Research and Data Visualization features for the crypto research use case, though Messari focuses on reports rather than execution.

Broad incumbents

• Coinbase: Major US-regulated crypto exchange with growing AI features and tokenized asset offerings. Comparable to Minara's spot trading and tokenized equity exposure but operates at vastly larger scale and is adding AI research tools that compete with Minara's chat.
• TradingView: Broad charting and strategy-scripting platform with Pine Script. Comparable to Minara's Strategy Studio and charting capabilities; established incumbent with much larger user base but lacks AI-native execution and on-chain trading integration.

Direct peers

• Drift Protocol: On-chain perpetual exchange on Solana with AI-assisted trading features. Comparable to Minara's perps offering and similar AI integration strategy; serves the same crypto-native trader segment.
• dYdX: Decentralized perpetual exchange with on-chain order book and self-custody. Comparable to Minara's underlying execution layer and competes for the same advanced trader segment seeking non-custodial perpetual exposure.
• Hyperliquid: On-chain perpetual exchange and core execution venue for Minara. Directly comparable as a destination venue for crypto perps, but Minara also routes to Lighter — making it a customer-competitor with dual exposure.
• Kaito AI: AI-powered crypto research and intelligence platform. Directly comparable as an AI-native tool for Web3 research with similar target audience (crypto researchers, traders, funds); competes head-to-head on research quality and citation-backed answers.
• GMX: Decentralized perpetual exchange using GLP liquidity pool model. Comparable as an on-chain perps venue serving the same retail/pro trader segment Minara targets, though GMX offers non-custodial trading without AI tooling.
