On April 15, Nexwave published the code for Nexagent, an artificial intelligence (AI) agent that operates autonomously in the cryptocurrency market. Anyone with basic programming skills can download it, configure it, and have the bot up and running in about five minutes.
The broker uses Hyperliquid, a decentralized perpetual contracts platform. Every 30 seconds it consults signals from Nexwave’s machine learning system —which analyzes funding rates, open interest divergence and volume anomalies— and executes buy or sell orders based on market conditions. It also automatically manages outputs: stop loss, trailing stop, take profit and closing by time.
The project was launched by Nexwave, an artificial intelligence-based trading signals company. The code is available on GitHub under the MIT license, allowing anyone to use it, modify or distribute it free of charge. To run it in the cloud, the team recommends the Render.com platform, which costs $7 per month.
The payment model changes the rules of the game
Unlike traditional signal services that charge a fixed monthly subscription, Nexagent uses the x402 protocol to pay only for each signal query made. Payment is made in micro-amounts of USDC over the Solana network. The agent partially signs each transaction from the user’s wallet, and the Nexwave facilitator completes and transmits the transaction. The private key never leaves the user’s device.
This pay-as-you-go model is part of a broader trend. In March 2026, Binance launched its first set of tools for autonomous AI agents, allowing you to execute orders, analyze smart contracts, and track large capital movements directly from the exchange’s infrastructure.
On the other hand, the regulatory debate does not stop either: experts such as the Spanish tax advisor José Antonio Bravo point out that Supervising AI agents that operate with cryptocurrencies represents one of the deepest challenges of the digital economy, since these entities have no physical existence or legal identity.
Nexagent includes a simulation mode activated by default – paper trading – that allows you to test the strategy without risking real capital. The team recommends trading at least 48 hours in that mode before activating live trading. The bot’s trade history is public and verifiable on the Hyperliquid blockchain.
