OpenLedger’s AI Agent Prioritizes Transparency Over Speed in Crypto Trading

San Francisco-based OpenLedger is challenging the crypto industry’s obsession with speed by introducing an AI agent that refuses to execute trades without explicit user approval. The system, which launches in 60 days, employs a "Proof of Attribution" framework to ensure every decision is auditable and data sources are verified.

Unlike typical trading bots, OpenLedger’s solution requires manual sign-offs for each transaction, forcing traders to engage with the reasoning behind every move. "People need to understand why a trade is happening, not just watch their balance change," said Kamesh, a Core contributor at OpenLedger.

The agent will integrate with Trust Wallet, communicating trade rationales and risk assessments in plain English. This human-in-the-loop approach aims to prevent the opacity that plagues many AI-driven trading systems while maintaining competitive execution speeds.
