Almanak

Almanak is a DeFi agent platform that lets users create, backtest, and deploy automated trading strategies through a natural language or Python interface. Its core workflow is built around an intent-based framework: users describe what they want the strategy to achieve, and the platform's LLM-powered coding agent translates that into executable Python code. Strategies run autonomously inside user-owned Safe multisig wallets, with permission scoping enforced through Zodiac Roles, meaning the agent can only interact with specific contracts and functions the user has approved.

The platform's main differentiator is its security architecture. The gateway sidecar holds all private keys and exposes a controlled gRPC API, while strategy containers have no keys and no direct internet access. This separation ensures that even if a strategy has bugs, the blast radius is limited to the permissions granted. The SDK also includes a local Anvil fork testing environment, allowing users to simulate strategies without risking real funds.

Almanak addresses the pain point of manual DeFi execution and the trust gap in fully automated systems. It gives users the flexibility of custom strategies with the safety of non-custodial controls, reducing the need to trust a centralized team or rely on risky third-party bots.

In the past six months (2026-03-02 to 2026-09-02), Almanak has expanded its supported chains and protocol integrations, including experimental support for prediction markets (Polymarket) and flash loans (Balancer), which are not yet in the official support matrix. The platform has also improved its alerting, stuck-transaction detection, and emergency management features. One notable limitation: the prediction market and flash loan integrations are explicitly labeled experimental and excluded from the supported matrix until testing is complete, indicating these features are not yet production-ready.
