AltHunter

AltHunter is an AI-powered autonomous trading agent designed to discover and capitalize on high-potential opportunities across crypto, stocks, and options markets. By combining real-time social media and news monitoring with machine learning prediction models, AltHunter identifies assets exhibiting strong hype or momentum signals — then facilitates smart, low-risk trading through non-custodial execution on Base (Ethereum L2).

The $HUNT token powers a community-driven ecosystem featuring DAO governance, staking rewards, and transparent profit-sharing from the agent's autonomous trading operations.

The modern financial market landscape presents several challenges for individual traders:

Information Overload: Millions of social media posts, news articles, and market signals are generated daily. No human can process this volume in real time to catch emerging opportunities before they peak.

Timing is Everything: By the time retail traders hear about a trending asset, the move has often already happened. Early detection of hype and momentum is critical, but currently reserved for institutional players with expensive tools.

Execution Complexity: Trading across multiple chains and asset classes (crypto, stocks, options) requires managing multiple platforms, wallets, and interfaces — creating friction and missed opportunities.

Trust & Custody Risk: Many existing "AI trading" solutions require users to deposit funds into custodial wallets, creating counterparty risk and regulatory concerns.

Lack of Community Alignment: Most trading platforms extract value from users. There's no mechanism for sharing profits or aligning incentives between the platform and its community.

AltHunter solves these problems through a vertically integrated AI trading pipeline:

Hype Scanner: Continuously monitors X (Twitter), Reddit, and news feeds using NLP-based sentiment analysis to detect sudden spikes in buzz around specific assets. This provides early-warning signals before price movements materialize.

ML Prediction Engine: Processes technical indicators (SMA, RSI, MACD, volume) combined with sentiment scores to classify each opportunity as buy, sell, or hold using ensemble machine learning models (RandomForest, CatBoost).

Non-Custodial Trade Execution: The agent prepares optimized transactions — users review and sign via their own wallet (MetaMask, Phantom). Users always maintain full custody of their assets.

Autonomous Trading Agent: AltHunter also operates its own managed wallet, executing trades based on high-confidence signals. All trades are logged on-chain for full transparency, and profits flow to the community profit pool.

Community DAO: $HUNT token holders govern the protocol through decentralized voting on trading strategies, asset focus areas, treasury allocation, and protocol upgrades.

$HUNT Token (ERC-20 on Base)

The $HUNT token is the native utility token of the AltHunter ecosystem, providing governance rights, staking rewards, and access to premium features.

Revenue is distributed as follows: - 70% to $HUNT stakers (proportional to stake × time multiplier) - 20% to DAO treasury (for development, audits, and growth) - 10% to buyback-and-burn (deflationary pressure)

AltHunter generates revenue through multiple complementary streams:

Trade Fees: A small percentage fee is charged on profitable trades executed through the platform. Only winning trades incur fees, aligning the platform's incentives with user success.

Premium Subscriptions: Tiered subscription plans offering advanced ML signals, real-time hype alerts, custom portfolio tracking, and priority trade execution.

Autonomous Trading Profits: The agent's managed wallet generates trading profits that flow directly to the community profit pool, creating a unique revenue-sharing model where the AI works for token holders.

This lean cost structure enables rapid iteration and breakeven at relatively low user volumes.

Security is a foundational design principle of AltHunter:

Non-Custodial by Default: Users always maintain full control of their wallets and assets. The agent prepares transactions, but execution requires explicit user approval and signature.

Smart Contract Security: - All contracts built using battle-tested OpenZeppelin libraries - Automated vulnerability scanning with Slither and Mythril - Manual security review before any mainnet deployment - Planned professional audits (CertiK or equivalent) before token launch

Trading Safety: - Configurable maximum slippage protection on all trades - Position size limits to prevent overexposure - Circuit breakers for abnormal market conditions - Transparent on-chain logging of all autonomous trades

Infrastructure Security: - Encrypted private key management for the autonomous wallet (HSM/Vault) - Rate limiting and API key rotation - DDoS protection via Cloudflare - Regular dependency audits and updates

The $HUNT token is a utility token designed for use within the AltHunter ecosystem. It is not a security, equity, or debt instrument.

Trading in cryptocurrencies, stocks, and options involves significant risk. Past performance of AI models or autonomous trading agents does not guarantee future results. Users should conduct their own research and consult with qualified financial advisors before making any trading or investment decisions.

AltHunter's non-custodial design means users are solely responsible for the security of their wallets and the approval of transactions.
