Before you choose

Requirements & limits

  • Self-hosting is central to the documented setup.
  • The project is TypeScript-based and built on Claude.
  • Its documented scope spans prediction markets, crypto spot, perpetual futures, token launches and Bittensor subnet mining.
  • The repository describes WebChat, CLI access and messaging-platform connectivity.
