The decentralization of finance and the mainstream adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) are generating tectonic shifts in the market, creating a lot of opportunities to create innovative platforms that redefine how people trade digital assets. True Trading is one of the projects seizing this opportunity, merging decentralized finance (DeFi), copy trading, and AI-powered financial services to offer early adopters a chance to participate in what could become the “ChatGPT of trading.”

What is True Trading?

TRUE was co-founded in 2024 by Benjamin Bilski, a serial fintech entrepreneur best known for creating NAGA Group AG, in partnership with the leadership of AI.Labs, a deep research and engineering collective driving decentralized intelligence. 

The platform tackles one of Web3’s biggest challenges: complexity and fragmentation that alienate retail users. Instead of navigating charts, dashboards, and guesswork, TRUE allows traders to engage with an in-house conversational chatbot in order to analyze the market, execute trades, copy strategies, or even design custom trading bots.

On True Trading, users can:

1. Connect their crypto wallets and trade on-chain through WalletConnect, Privy, Phantom, MetaMask, Trust Wallet, and others;
2. Access multiple decentralized exchange (DEX) liquidity pools through a single interface;
3. Place and manage orders by observing charts or using an AI chat function.

Self-learning trading intelligence

At its core, the TRUE platform is built around a chat-first user experience built on Solana and enhanced by a custom Layer 2 network designed to support high-speed, low-cost transactions. This foundation allows for AI-native perpetuals trading with deep liquidity.

The design also features a so-called copy-trading flywheel, meaning successful trading strategies can be shared, replicated, and scaled across the ecosystem. What’s more, every user interaction helps train the platform’s proprietary financial language learning model (LLM) and artificial general intelligence (AGI stack). Accordingly, the AI becomes smarter with each trade, evolving into a self-learning intelligence shaped primarily by user activity.

The ecosystem is built on top of two core domains:

• True Foundation, which serves as the authoritative source for all token-related information, from legal disclosures and compliance documentation to token distribution details, ensuring transparency for investors and contributors;
• True Trading, an AI-powered trading hub where users can access conversational tools, copy-trading features, real-time dashboards, and TRUE Agent integrations. 

Together, these components form a unified trading platform built for scalability, transparency, and, most importantly, AI-powered trade execution and strategizing.

Merging AI and DeFi

True combines the speed of centralized exchanges (CEXs) with the security and transparency of DeFi as the main catalyst for its chat-first interface. Users on the platform can leverage charts or let an AI assistant handle everything by translating plain-language inputs into precise execution based on real-time analytics and risk management strategies.

Behind the scenes, the mechanism runs on a hybrid architecture. That is, orders are matched off-chain in a high-throughput engine designed to deliver CEX-like speed, while settlements are periodically secured on Solana via zk-rollups, ensuring immutable auditability. User collateral never leaves Solana custody, creating a self-custodial environment audited and secured by independent firms.

At the liquidity layer, the True Liquidity Pool (TLP) acts as the protocol’s backbone. Accordingly, users can deposit USD Coin (USDC), receive TLP tokens, and earn rewards from trading fees. This system balances pool stability with yield opportunities, rewarding participants while underwriting trading risk.

However, what truly sets TRUE apart is its AI core, developed by True AI Labs. The core is powered by financial LLMs, real-time data retrieval, and reinforcement learning agents, all working together to help the platform evolve in real time. Of course, as already mentioned, every user interaction provides further feedback.

As it adapts, the platform offers personalized recommendations, suggests top traders for users to follow, and comes up with different strategies to accommodate each individual user’s risk profile. 

In other words, True is more than just a DEX. Rather, it’s a modular AI-finance ecosystem that blends liquidity, execution, and intelligence into a single interface designed to meet the needs of first-time retail traders and professionals running advanced strategies alike. 

Conversational trading

The conversational trading experience on True is designed to follow a clear workflow: 

1. Understand: First, the user communicates their intentions, and the AI verifies details such as asset, position size, leverage, or risk limits to make sure it fully grasps the instructions;
2. Plan: Next, the AI simulates outcomes to provide recommendations based on both historical patterns and real-time market data;
3. Execute: Once a clear plan has been laid out, the AI generates on-chain transaction instructions. That is, trades are routed taking current order books and latency into account while the user retains control and approves trades through their wallet;
4. Review: Then, the AI delivers performance summaries and insights so that the user can receive immediate confirmations and access reports highlighting gains, losses, etc.;
5. Automate: Finally, the AI can transition users from one-off trades to continuous strategies, suggesting automated trading, copy trading, or custom bots.

All in all, True’s conversational trading feature is a virtual trading companion that seeks to lower the entry bar for beginners while also enabling experienced traders to execute complex strategies efficiently.

Copy trading on True

Copy trading is another feature of True, designed to help newcomers enter the market by following and replicating the strategies of more experienced traders. Following the core principle of the platform, the copy trading system relies on AI-powered mechanisms.

For instance, users can discover leaders via AI-assisted search, subscribe with set risk parameters, monitor their profits and losses, and pause or exit copy relationships anytime. The system also allows leaders to set subscription caps, fees, and strategy notes.

Followers allocate a portion of their capital via smart contracts, mirroring leaders’ trades proportionally. Traders, in turn, earn revenue through performance fees, fixed fees, and TRUE token multipliers. For example, a leader with 1,000 followers can earn scaled rewards from each executed trade.

Conclusion

True Trading seeks to innovate digital asset trading by combining DeFi, AI, and copy trading within a single platform. With its chat-first approach, self-learning AI groundwork, and verifiable on-chain mechanisms, it promises to make advanced trading accessible, transparent, and rewarding for both beginners and experienced users alike. 

To achieve this goal, the platform has also developed a modular design, incorporated real-time insights, and implemented ways to incentivize both traders and their followers, including copy trading performance revenue, and token multipliers. 

However, the most standout feature is the chatbot system that learns and adapts based on user activity. This ensures that individual users can have a streamlined trading experience that constantly evolves to accommodate their strategies. What’s more, though, it also ensures that the platform as a whole is continuously shaped by the community, which adds an additional layer of interactivity and trust.
