Having been involved in perpetual trading for so many years, there's one thing I've always felt awkward about: truly strategic traders always hide off-chain. Either quantitative teams don't open source their algorithms, or centralized products run black boxes. Ordinary people can only look at the profit curves and gamble on luck. It wasn't until I recently looked into AIW3 @AIW3_official that I realized—someone has finally started to directly address this issue. What AIW3 is doing is simple and bold: turning the "strategy" itself into on-chain infrastructure. It's not about copy trading pages or custodial funds, but transforming each trading / market-making logic into an on-chain Vault. Money flows into the Vault, rules are hardcoded, execution happens entirely on-chain, and performance can't be tampered with. Strategy creators earn based on their ability, funders rely on data-driven decisions, no need to trust people or guess the backend. Even more impressively, they don't bind themselves to a single DEX but instead coordinate liquidity across multiple perpetual DEXs. This is no longer just a "trading product," but a strategy-driven liquidity coordination layer. I won't dwell on the data, but just share one feeling: with over 3000 strategies, dozens of active communities, and the willingness to put execution on-chain, it at least shows—these things are genuinely in use. Recently, $12 million from Seed + Pre-A funding has also been deployed, with Buffalo, GalaXin, GSR among the names present—not here for stories. I won't say it will definitely succeed. But in a highly competitive perpetual market, projects that can be restructured from the ground up are few and far between. I will continue to watch AIW3. Not for short-term hype, but to see if it can truly bring the "strategy" aspect back on-chain. For those who understand this kind of project, they will naturally position themselves early. #AIW3
