Zircuit Unveils Hyperliquid AI Engine, ZRC Rallies 80%

Zircuit has launched an AI-powered trading engine dubbed "Hyperliquid for AI Trading," designed to enable rapid, cross-chain execution on Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) chains and Solana. The platform leverages proprietary AI algorithms to analyze on-chain and off-chain data in real time, identifying trading opportunities and automating execution via one-click strategies. This marks a strategic expansion for Zircuit, which previously secured over $950 million in stablecoins, ETH, and BTC through its institutional-grade Deposit Vaults [1]. The AI Trading Engine aims to complement these vaults by transitioning from passive yield generation to active trading, broadening Zircuit’s role in decentralized finance (DeFi) [2].

The engine addresses cross-chain trading challenges by automating execution speed, security, and user experience. It employs Sequencer Level Security (SLS), a protocol previously used to safeguard Zircuit’s deposit vaults, to ensure attack-proof transactions [1]. This institutional-grade approach allows seamless execution across Solana and EVM networks without manual bridging or venue selection. The system also automates slippage, gas, and wallet management, catering to both technical and non-technical traders [2].

Zircuit’s rollout timeline includes a closed beta in late July 2025 (invite-only for vault users), a public launch in August 2025 with SDK access for developers, and Q4 2025 ecosystem incentives totaling 10 million ZRC tokens to reward community-built AI models [1]. Vault users will receive beta invitations and trading incentives, while new depositors will gain fee rebates on future AI trading. Developers are encouraged to participate in an AI-trading competition offering grants and bounties [2].

Market reactions have been notable: ZRC surged over 80% in early July, rising from $0.02601 to $0.04734, despite broader crypto market declines [3]. Analysts attribute this rally to investor confidence in Zircuit’s AI-driven innovation and its potential to redefine on-chain trading [3]. The token’s performance aligns with the announced public launch of Hyperliquid, which aims to bridge traditional finance’s algorithmic trading with decentralized systems [1].

The platform’s real-time signal detection and cross-chain execution eliminate friction between blockchains, positioning Zircuit as a competitive DeFi player. Its focus on security and user-friendliness aligns with growing demand for tools combining speed and reliability in decentralized ecosystems [2]. However, success will depend on adoption rates and the effectiveness of its AI algorithms in volatile markets. Zircuit’s track record with secure vaults and its expanding ecosystem provide a strong foundation for this expansion [1].

The launch reflects a broader trend of AI integration in crypto infrastructure, aiming to attract both retail and institutional users seeking optimized cross-chain strategies [2]. As the public launch nears, the platform’s performance will be closely watched for its potential to influence DeFi’s evolution and ZRC’s trajectory in a dynamic market.
