Everything about onchain crypto trading

The Velvet trading terminal is an all-in-one platform for executing spot, perps, and yield trades. You can view real-time onchain analytics and interact with DeFi protocols from a single dashboard. It goes beyond basic swap interfaces by offering TradingView charts, advanced order types, trending token discovery, and integrated trade routing across multiple liquidity sources. Velvet's terminal connects to seven chains - Base, Ethereum, BNB Chain, Solana, Hyperliquid, Monad, and Sonic - using an AI-powered routing engine with MEV protection.

The best onchain trading terminal combines integrated trade routing, real-time analytics, and multi-chain support in a non-custodial interface. Velvet integrates TradingView charts and routes through Jupiter, 1inch, 0x, KyberSwap, Barter, Portals, OKX DEX, DFlow, Hyperliquid, Enso, and others - giving traders access to millions of spot pairs plus perpetual contracts and yield opportunities, all from one dashboard. The platform only charges trading fees with up to 100% cashback available. Smart contracts are backed by seven independent security audits, and the platform is funded by YZi Labs (formerly Binance Labs).

A crypto trading bot executes a single strategy - like grid trading, DCA, or arbitrage - typically on centralized exchanges via API keys. A DeFi trading terminal is a complete onchain trading environment with charts, analytics, token discovery, and execution tools for spot, perps, and yield. Velvet combines both: it's a full-featured terminal with a built-in AI copilot called Velvet Unicorn that helps traders research tokens, analyze markets, and prepare trades using natural language - all from one platform.

You can trade virtually any onchain token on Velvet - including memecoins, AI agent tokens, DeFi tokens, stablecoins, altcoins, and newly launched tokens from the Trenches section. For spot markets, Velvet supports millions of trading pairs across all seven chains. For perpetual contracts, Velvet connects to Hyperliquid for leveraged trading on major pairs. Whether you're trading established tokens or discovering new launches from Pump.fun, Clanker, or Bankr, it all happens from a single terminal. See the Trading Terminal docs →

Yes. Velvet supports spot trading, perpetual contracts, and yield strategies from a single terminal. For spot, you can trade any onchain token across all seven supported chains - with access to millions of pairs routed through Velvet's integrated liquidity sources. For perps, Velvet connects to Hyperliquid for leveraged trading on major pairs. Both spot and perps are accessible from the same interface with unified portfolio tracking.

Yes. Velvet supports multi-chain trading across Base, Ethereum, BNB Chain, Solana, Hyperliquid, Monad, and Sonic from a single interface. Each chain connects to the top DEX aggregators and liquidity protocols on that network - no switching between apps, wallets, or dashboards. Multi-chain access from one terminal eliminates manual bridging and fragmented positions.

Seven chains: Base, Ethereum, BNB Chain, Solana, Hyperliquid, Monad, and Sonic. Each connects to its leading liquidity sources - Jupiter and DFlow for Solana, 1inch, 0x, KyberSwap, and OKX DEX for EVM chains, Hyperliquid for perpetuals, and Enso for cross-protocol routing. All chains are accessible from a single dashboard with unified portfolio tracking.

A DeFi aggregator is a protocol that scans multiple decentralized exchanges simultaneously to seek competitive swap rates for a given trade. Instead of checking each DEX individually, an aggregator compares prices, splits orders across liquidity pools, and routes the trade to help improve execution. Velvet integrates leading aggregators - including Jupiter, 1inch, 0x, KyberSwap, Portals, OKX DEX, DFlow, Enso, and others - to route trades across every supported chain.

Velvet's AI copilot, called Velvet Unicorn, is a multi-agent system that helps traders research tokens, analyze onchain data, view AI-generated signals, and prepare trades using natural language. Instead of manually scanning charts and protocols, you can ask Velvet Unicorn questions like 'Which Base tokens are trending right now?' or tell it to prepare a trade like 'Trade 1 ETH into $VELVET' - it will propose the transaction with optimized routing for you to review and approve from your wallet. Every onchain action requires your authorization. The AI analyzes real-time market signals including token momentum, liquidity depth, wallet flows, and social sentiment. AI outputs are informational tools, not financial advice. Explore the AI Framework docs →

An AI trading bot is software that uses machine learning or LLM-based reasoning to analyze market data and help execute trades. Most AI bots operate on centralized exchanges via API keys and charge monthly subscriptions. Velvet's AI copilot, Velvet Unicorn, works differently - it runs onchain in a non-custodial environment. Your funds never leave your wallet, there are no API keys to manage, and every transaction requires your approval and signature. Velvet only charges trading fees with up to 100% cashback based on volume and $VELVET staking. Learn more about Velvet Unicorn →

Velvet's terminal surfaces trending tokens in real time using onchain analytics and AI-powered screening. The discovery engine tracks volume spikes, wallet activity, liquidity changes, and social signals across every supported chain, while AI screens for emerging opportunities and flags potential risks. The Trenches section surfaces newly launched tokens from launchpads including Pump.fun, Clanker, Bonk, Meteora, Printr, Bankr, and others - so traders can discover and trade them immediately. Webacy Alerts help identify risky tokens before you trade. You can also ask Velvet Unicorn: 'What tokens are trending on Base right now?'
