Zircuit's AI Trading Engine Hyperliquid Drives 50% ZRC Surge in Cross-Chain DeFi

Zircuit, a blockchain infrastructure provider, has launched an AI-powered trading engine designed to optimize cross-chain decentralized finance (DeFi) transactions. Dubbed “Hyperliquid for AI Trading,” the platform integrates real-time on-chain and off-chain data analysis with one-click execution capabilities across Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) chains and Solana. This follows the success of Zircuit’s Deposit Vaults, which now secure over $950 million in stablecoins, ETH, and BTC [1]. The engine aims to streamline DeFi inefficiencies by enabling rapid, automated trading while upholding institutional-grade security [2].

The AI Trading Engine utilizes proprietary algorithms to identify trading signals in real time, allowing users to act on opportunities before market conditions shift [3]. Cross-chain auto-routing ensures transactions are executed on the most cost-effective networks, minimizing slippage and gas fees. One-click strategies automate wallet management, gas optimization, and slippage control, enabling instant trade initiation. Security remains a cornerstone, with the engine inheriting Zircuit’s battle-tested infrastructure, including sequencer-level security and anti-phishing measures [4].

The rollout is structured in phases: a closed beta for existing vault users is scheduled for late July 2025, with public access and SDK availability for developers planned for August 2025. Ecosystem grants totaling 10 million ZRC tokens will be distributed in Q4 2025 to incentivize community-built AI models [5]. Vault users will receive beta invitations via their dashboards, alongside trading incentives and rewards. New users joining the Deposit Vaults before the public launch will benefit from fee rebates on future AI trading activities [6].

The announcement coincided with a significant 50% surge in Zircuit’s native token, ZRC, attributed to growing investor confidence in its integration of AI with DeFi infrastructure [7]. Dr. Martin Derka, Zircuit’s co-founder, emphasized the platform’s focus on balancing innovation with security: “This new engine combines real-time AI insights with seamless execution, all without sacrificing the security standards our users trust” [8].

The engine’s open SDK empowers developers and quantitative analysts to build and deploy trading strategies, potentially accelerating broader innovation in automated DeFi. An upcoming AI-trading competition, featuring grants and bounties, underscores Zircuit’s commitment to community-driven development [9]. By addressing cross-chain interoperability and real-time analytics, the platform positions itself as a key player in the evolving on-chain finance sector.
