What Coeus is

Coeus is an AI agent that trades perpetual futures for you from your own computer. You describe a plan in plain English. Coeus reads the market, shows you the exact trade and places it on Hyperliquid once you approve. Your keys, rules and stop levels stay on your machine.

It's built for traders on Elysium, Hyperliquid's Layer 2. Its token, $COEUS, launches on Montra.

How it works

1. You give it a plan. "Short ETH if funding turns negative and it loses 3,200. Risk 1%. Max 3x."
2. It reads the market: prices, funding, open interest and liquidations from Hyperliquid.
3. It shows you the trade: market, side, size, leverage, entry, stop, take-profit, and how much you could lose.
4. You approve it, or let auto mode run strategies you've already approved.
5. It places and manages the trade on Hyperliquid, then records it in your journal.

Getting started (alpha)

1. Install the Mac app on this site, unzip it, and open Coeus. There is no Windows file yet. The command line is in the project.
2. Create a Hyperliquid API wallet for Coeus. Hyperliquid lets you create separate signing keys, called API wallets, for apps that trade on your account. Coeus keeps it on your computer.
3. Approve the Coeus protocol fee once with your main wallet. Hyperliquid caps app fees at 0.1% on perps. Our rate will be published before launch.
4. Pick a model: Claude, an OpenAI-compatible model, or a local model through Ollama.
5. Set your guardrails, then talk to Coeus.

Coeus will never ask for your main wallet's private key or seed phrase. If something does, it isn't us.

Plans in plain English

Examples:

• "Long BTC if it reclaims 98,000. Stop at 96,500, take profit at 102,000, risk 0.5%."
• "Short SOL if funding stays negative for 2 hours and price loses the 4-hour low. Max 2x."
• "Close half my ETH long at +8% and move the stop to entry."

If anything in a plan is unclear, Coeus asks before it trades.

Hidden stops

On Hyperliquid, anyone can read an account's open orders, so stop orders sitting on the exchange can be seen and hunted. Coeus keeps your stop and take-profit levels on your computer and sends the order when the price reaches them.

• Backup stop: a wider stop sits on Hyperliquid in case your computer goes offline.
• Your computer has to be on: hidden stops only fire while Coeus is running. The backup stop covers the rest of the time.
• What stays public: your open positions are visible on Hyperliquid, like every account's.

Guardrails

Guardrails are rules you set. They're enforced in code before any order is sent, and the AI can't override them.

# coeus.toml (example)
[guardrails]
max_leverage = 3
max_position_usd = 5000
daily_loss_stop_pct = 2.0     # stop trading for the day after a 2% loss
allowed_markets = ["BTC", "ETH", "SOL", "HYPE"]
require_approval = true       # ask before every trade outside auto mode

If a trade would break a rule, Coeus blocks it and tells you which rule.

Auto mode

Auto mode runs strategies you've approved. Before each order, a second AI model checks the trade against your plan and your guardrails. If either the check or a guardrail says no, the trade doesn't go out. You can stop auto mode at any time.

Journal memory

Coeus keeps a plain-text journal on your computer. It holds your rules, your plans, and every trade with its reason and result. Coeus reads it to follow your style, and you can edit it like any text file.

Models

• Claude or any OpenAI-compatible model, with your own API key.
• Local models through Ollama, so nothing leaves your computer.
• Import: export the Coeus pack and load it into a model you already use. The app still checks the rules and still asks before it sends an order.
• Pro: hosted models with nothing to set up, payable in $COEUS at a discount.

Hosted models receive your plan and market data. They never receive your keys.

Security and privacy

• Coeus runs on your computer, and your API wallet key is stored there.
• Your main wallet key never touches Coeus.
• It's open source: the code will be public at release.
• You don't need an account to run it locally.
• Your rules, stop levels and journal stay on your machine. Positions on Hyperliquid are public, like everyone's.

Fees

• Running locally: free.
• Pro: hosted models, payable in $COEUS at a discount. Price coming soon.
• Protocol fee: a small fee on each trade Coeus places, which you approve once on Hyperliquid. Hyperliquid caps it at 0.1% on perps. Our rate will be published before launch.

$COEUS

• Chain: Elysium. Launchpad: Montra.
• Supply: set at launch, and it can only go down. All liquidity is locked for good. There's no owner, no minting and no tax.
• Buyback and burn: 50% of protocol fees buy back $COEUS on Montra and burn it. Every burn is a public transaction on Elysium, and burned tokens leave the supply for good.
• Uses: pay for hosted models at a discount, stake for model credits, and pay a lower protocol fee as a holder.
• Contract address: coming soon. Only trust the address posted on this site.

Roadmap

1. Mac install: available on this site.
2. Command line: plain-English plans, guardrails and the journal, in the project.
3. Windows and Linux apps. The Mac alpha is already on this site.
4. Hidden stops and auto mode.
5. On-chain guardrails on Elysium: once Elysium contracts can place Hyperliquid orders, your rules can live in a contract, so they hold even if your computer is compromised.

FAQ

Risks

Perpetual futures use leverage and can lose money quickly, sometimes more than you expect in fast markets. AI models make mistakes. Coeus is alpha software. Nothing here is financial advice. Only trade what you can afford to lose.
