Trading and portfolio platform Velvet has launched perpetuals trading via Hyperliquid inside its AI-powered terminal. The move aims to bring research and execution into a single onchain interface.
Onchain derivatives are becoming a more established part of the DeFi landscape. Perpetual contracts are drawing growing attention from traders who want faster execution, deeper liquidity access and a more crypto-native trading environment. However, the user experience is still catching up.
One of the biggest obstacles is fragmentation. For many traders, the process of trading perps still means working across multiple tabs at once: one for charts, one for token research, another for sentiment monitoring and a separate venue for execution.
When traders need to constantly switch between analysis tools and trading interfaces, the distance between spotting an opportunity and acting on it becomes wider. In volatile conditions, even a short delay can mean a missed entry, a weaker exit or a trade thesis that is no longer relevant.
Fragmentation helps explain the rising interest in DeFAI — the convergence of decentralized finance (DeFi) and artificial intelligence. As onchain trading becomes more complex, there is a growing case for systems that can reduce operational friction and connect data-heavy market analysis directly to execution.
Streamlining derivatives through agentic frameworks
Trading platform Velvet is building around that thesis with an AI-powered onchain trading and portfolio terminal designed to unify trading activity across chains through a vertically integrated DeFAI stack.
The latest step in that direction is its perps launch via Hyperliquid, which allows users to execute perpetual trades from within the Velvet environment rather than relying on separate tools for research and execution.
Velvet’s Multi-Agent AI Framework is at the center of the platform. The system is designed to function as a 24/7 trading analyst that can help users spot market opportunities, analyze tokens and identify possible entry and exit levels. Instead of treating research as a separate workflow, Velvet places AI-assisted analysis inside the same system where trades are managed.
The platform’s multi-interface approach also reflects how trading habits are changing. Users can access perps through Velvet’s native app. A Telegram Bot is also on the way, and it will give traders another route into the same toolset through a more conversational interface.
Velvet is also preparing what it describes as automated agentic strategies. In practice, that means users would be able to describe a trading strategy in natural language, and the system would run it continuously so it can identify opportunities and act on them even when the user is offline.
A unified future for onchain asset management
After the Hyperliquid launch, Velvet plans near-term ecosystem initiatives, including “Gems for Hyperliquid” and trading competitions intended to increase engagement around the rollout.
The longer-term objective is broader than a single perps product. Velvet’s stated vision is to make onchain trading easier to use. Under that vision, the company will bring spot, perps and yield products together in one app, with AI helping users optimize how they manage their portfolios.
As DeFi infrastructure matures, access to markets and the ability to move through them efficiently may define the competitive edge together. Integrated systems that combine analysis, execution and automation could help make professional-grade onchain tools more accessible through a single interface.
