Singularry Says Defai Must Prove Itself In Live Markets
- AI agents are crypto’s strongest story in 2026, but DeFAI projects now have to prove they can handle user capital safely once money is moving in live markets.
- DeFAI projects pitch automated trading, portfolio management, and AI-assisted token launches to users who may not fully understand the risks.
- Singularry is one of those projects, working on non-custodial automation, risk controls, and smart-wallet permissions.
- The company said the agent is designed to act as an always-on portfolio manager rather than a single-trade execution tool.
What Happened
DeFAI projects pitch automated trading, portfolio management, and AI-assisted token launches to users who may not fully understand the risks. Singularry is one of those projects, working on non-custodial automation, risk controls, and smart-wallet permissions.
In practice, the smart wallet only lets the agent interact with protocols the user has enabled, while larger trades require explicit approval. Sensitive actions such as withdrawals remain manual.
Risk Profiles Are Designed for Different User Types
Market Context
AI agents are crypto’s strongest story in 2026, but DeFAI projects now have to prove they can handle user capital safely once money is moving in live markets.
In an exclusive interview with BeInCrypto, Singularry explained how its AI trading agent works, which dApp features are already live, and what the project needs to prove before traders treat it as a serious DeFi product.
Singularry’s dApp currently includes a fully autonomous, non-custodial AI trading agent designed to manage a diversified portfolio of strategies around the clock.
The platform also offers a library of 17 strategies, ranging from conservative approaches such as dollar-cost averaging, index exposure, and stablecoin vaults to more advanced delta-neutral and market-neutral strategies.
“You set the guardrails, how much it can deploy, how aggressive it should be, and which strategies it is allowed to use, and it does the rest: continuously reading the market, sizing positions to your risk profile, entering and exiting across DeFi and CEX venues, and rebalancing as conditions shift,” Singularry said.
The company added that the agent “thinks in portfolios, not one-off trades,” weighing eligible strategies, allocating capital to stronger opportunities, and learning from each outcome over time.
Permissions Are Scoped, Revocable, and Risk-Capped
A major concern around AI trading agents is permission risk. If users give an agent too much control, a faulty strategy, compromised integration, or malicious execution path can quickly become dangerous.
Those levels include on-chain capability controls, approval thresholds, risk caps, and revocable signing.
Transactions are simulated before being broadcast. If they cannot be safely validated, they are blocked. Price and market data that exceed freshness thresholds are flagged, and the agent refuses to trade on degraded inputs.
Why It Matters
Circuit breakers can halt activity when daily-loss limits or drawdown thresholds are reached. Singularry also said that if a connected service or signing path behaves unexpectedly, the system locks execution rather than attempting to continue.

Singularry’s AI Agent Is Built Around Portfolio Automation
The company said the agent is designed to act as an always-on portfolio manager rather than a single-trade execution tool.
Singularry said its system is designed around narrow, revocable permissions rather than open-ended access.
“Users never hand over open-ended control. Permissions are scoped on four levels,” the company said.
The platform also allows users to define maximum position size, the number of concurrent positions, and daily spending limits. Execution authority can be revoked on-chain at any time.
“You grant narrow, revocable permissions. Not the keys to your funds,” Singularry said.
Security Goes Beyond Audits
Singularry said its security model relies on several safeguards beyond formal audits. These include pre-trade simulation, stale-data protection, circuit breakers, integration safeguards, and restricted custody flows.
“Keys are never held in the open; signing happens in a secure delegated environment, and destinations are restricted,” the company said.
Singularry also said its smart contracts have been audited by Fairyproof, and that all known issues have been remediated.
