Velvet June Update: Velvet-1, Autonomous AI Strategies, Cross-Chain Trading & Global Markets Launch

VELVET · 2026-07-15

Velvet Jul 15, 2026 June was one of the biggest months yet for Velvet. We announced training for Velvet-1, our first flagship AI model built for onchain intelligence, launched new infrastructure for autonomous 24/7 AI strategies, brought cross-chain trading live, and expanded access to global and pre-IPO markets. June marked one of the biggest steps yet in Velvet’s AI journey. We announced that training has begun for Velvet-1 , our first flagship LLM built specifically for onchain intelligence. Onchain data isn’t just text. It’s a massive, constantly changing graph of wallets, smart contracts, protocols, assets, markets, and social signals. General-purpose models can reason about crypto and markets in isolation, but they struggle to understand the full context of these dynamic systems. Velvet-1 is being built to address this. The model is being trained on large-scale, continuously indexed datasets spanning: Full onchain activity across major networks, including transactions, smart contract events, state changes, and mempool signals Hyperliquid market data, including orderbooks, funding rates, liquidations, trader positioning, and flow dynamics Social and behavioral signals, including onchain and offchain graphs, wallet clustering, and profile embeddings Velvet-1 is our first step toward AI built by design for onchain intelligence. We launched the Velvet Unicorn Portal , giving traders, developers, and AI agents direct access to the infrastructure powering our agentic trading ecosystem. Prompt-to-Strategy: Turn natural-language trading ideas into autonomous strategies designed to operate 24/7 API Access: Integrate Velvet Unicorn intelligence into external apps, dashboards, and trading systems MCP Support: Connect AI agents directly to Velvet’s DeFi-native intelligence and onchain infrastructure From memecoin strategies and momentum trading to yield optimization, the goal is to make it possible to turn almost any trading idea into an autonomous strategy. Our on-site agent now understands context across conversations. Instead of repeatedly specifying the token, chain, and amount, users can now simply ask: “Tell me about $VU.” “What are people saying about it?” “Buy $100 worth.” The agent remembers what you’re talking about, making it faster and more natural to move from discovery to research to execution. We also completely rebuilt our AI content engine on X, which now delivers morning news digests, market recaps, token signals, and transparent performance updates based on fresh onchain and social data. You can now install Velvet X directly on your mobile home screen on both iOS and Android. Simply log into Velvet X, open your browser’s sharing or menu options, and select Add to Home Screen . Now your unfair advantage is always one tap away. Users can now buy a token on one chain while paying with assets from another . Velvet supports cross-chain trading between EVM networks and Solana , with gasless bridging happening behind the scenes. We also added support for Arbitrum. No manual bridging. No unnecessary friction. Find a token and trade it. We significantly upgraded the Perps trading experience across desktop and mobile with: Redesigned Take Profit and Stop Loss flows Draggable TP/SL lines and trade markers directly on charts We launched Sweep Mode , allowing users to bulk-buy an entire column of newly launched tokens with a single click. Mobile users can also swipe to buy or sell, making it even faster to act on new opportunities. AI analysis is now available with one click across Explore, Trenches, Positions, Watchlists, and token pages. Watchlist import/export for up to 2,000 wallets Compatibility with other terminal watchlists Top Traders leaderboard expanded to 200 traders Chart markers for KOLs, followed traders, your own trades, and dev activity We shipped approximately 160 reliability improvements across Velvet, including faster page loads, improved wallet stability, fixes for stuck and duplicate orders, better portfolio PnL accuracy, live gas fees, and automatic filtering of scam and honeypot tokens. We integrated TradeXYZ , expanding Velvet beyond crypto and giving users access to global equities, commodities, indices, and forex markets. We also brought exposure to some of the world’s most anticipated private companies to Velvet, including: Users can now access crypto, Perps, global markets, and pre-IPO opportunities from the same ecosystem. We fully migrated Velvet’s protocol-owned liquidity on Base to Aerodrome , strengthening the token’s liquidity infrastructure within the Base ecosystem. We integrated SushiSwap’s API to expand liquidity access and improve trade routing across Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Base. Velvet Co-Founder and CEO DeFiVas and Chief Degen Officer Degen Mike joined the MCG Live Show to showcase Velvet X and Velvet Unicorn. Degen Mike also hosted multiple livestreams ( Hyperliquid , Comet , Quigley , jcrew , Darren ) with top trenchers and builders, using Velvet X to identify opportunities and find multiple runners live on air. mSTRAT memecoin treasury launched on Velvet. We also launched the $XRPS Trading Competition on Solana and continued our weekly community Spaces every Monday at 7PM UTC. Ran the Velvet Thread Contest with over 100 content submissions.
