Walt Opens Perpetual Futures Trading to AI Agents in Telegram

Walt has opened its perpetual futures service in Telegram to AI agents, letting users direct ChatGPT, Claude or Mira to manage leveraged positions through a separately funded account.

The agents can check prices and market news, inspect open positions and assess liquidation risk. Under a user’s instructions, they can enter or exit long and short trades, place take-profit and stop-loss orders, and follow basic trading rules. Mira is developed by The Open Platform, which also develops Walt.

Users must move funds into a dedicated account before an agent can trade with them. The agent cannot withdraw or transfer money from that account. Order execution starts switched off; users can activate it, set trading limits, monitor activity and disconnect the agent at any time.

At its April launch, Walt’s broader perpetual futures service offered more than 50 markets and leverage of up to 50 times. Perpetual futures have no fixed expiration date and let traders take long or short positions without owning the underlying asset. Sharp market moves can quickly liquidate leveraged positions.

The addition follows Telegram’s September wallet restructuring, which renamed its custodial Wallet app Walt and introduced Gram Wallet as a separate noncustodial service. Walt retained the trading and other financial services under the new name.
