Solana News Today: Zircuit Launches AI Trading Engine to Automate Cross-Chain Trading on EVM and Solana

Zircuit has launched an AI-powered trading engine dubbed “Hyperliquid for AI Trading,” designed to automate cross-chain trading across Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and Solana ecosystems. The platform positions the tool as a complement to its existing Deposit Vaults, which now secure over $950 million in stablecoins, ETH, and BTC. The engine leverages real-time signal detection, cross-chain auto-routing, and one-click execution, integrating Zircuit’s institutional-grade security stack—including sequencer-level protections and anti-phishing measures—into its architecture [1].

The AI Trading Engine operates on a three-phase rollout: a closed beta in late July 2025 for existing Deposit Vault users, a public launch in August 2025 with SDK access for developers, and ecosystem grants in Q4 2025 to support community-built AI models [2]. Users will gain access to trading incentives, fee rebates, and rewards through beta invitations and a forthcoming AI-trading competition for developers and quantitative analysts. The platform’s co-founder, Dr. Martin Derka, emphasized its mission to enhance on-chain finance by combining AI-driven insights with seamless execution, ensuring security standards align with Zircuit’s battle-tested infrastructure [3].

The engine’s key features include real-time alpha detection from on-chain and off-chain data, automated handling of wallets, gas fees, and slippage, and cross-chain auto-routing to optimize pricing. These tools aim to reduce friction for active traders while maintaining the security framework established by Zircuit’s Deposit Vaults [4]. The product’s focus on EVM and Solana ecosystems aligns with the firm’s technical expertise, as highlighted by its team of web3 security veterans and PhDs [5].

Notably, the announcement coincided with an 82% surge in ZRC token value, though Zircuit attributes this movement to broader market dynamics rather than direct product performance [6]. By bridging passive yield generation via Deposit Vaults and active trading through the AI engine, Zircuit aims to serve institutional and retail users seeking efficiency in decentralized finance (DeFi) markets. The platform’s dual-product model underscores its commitment to both safety and innovation, leveraging AI to automate cross-chain strategies while maintaining institutional-grade reliability.
