What is Aegis?
Aegis is an automated hedging bot suite for concentrated liquidity positions on Uniswap V3/V4 and PancakeSwap V3. It monitors your LP positions on-chain and executes futures hedges on centralized exchanges to offset impermanent loss and directional exposure.
The Multi-Bot Suite
Section titled “The Multi-Bot Suite”Aegis ships as a set of specialized bots, each targeting a distinct hedging strategy. The bots that are live today are:
| Bot | Strategy | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Bastion | Downside and upside short protection | Live |
| Vanguard | Breakout long on upside move | Live |
| Orbit | Mean-reversion long/short on range edges | Live |
Additional bots are planned:
| Bot | Status |
|---|---|
| Vault | Coming soon |
| Scout | Coming soon |
| Grid | Coming soon |
Concentrated Liquidity and LP Positions
Section titled “Concentrated Liquidity and LP Positions”Concentrated liquidity protocols (Uniswap V3/V4, PancakeSwap V3) let liquidity providers set a price range for their position. When the market price is inside the range, the position earns trading fees. When price exits the range, the position is fully converted to one asset and stops earning fees.
This creates a well-defined exposure profile: the LP carries delta risk and impermanent loss relative to the range bounds. Aegis models this exposure and opens corresponding perpetual futures positions to hedge it.
Beta Scope
Section titled “Beta Scope”Aegis is currently in beta. The following apply:
- Supported DEX protocols: Uniswap V3/V4, PancakeSwap V3.
- Supported execution venue (live in the beta): HyperLiquid. Binance Futures is implemented but gated off during the beta.
- BingX integration: partial, coming soon.
- Supported chains: Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Optimism (full); BSC (partial).
- Supported pairs: native USDC or USDT quote pairs only.
- UI features that are not yet live are marked “Beta / Pending UX” throughout the documentation.
Key Design Properties
Section titled “Key Design Properties”Self-custody LP wallet. Aegis never holds your LP funds. Your LP wallet is a read-only public address used only for on-chain position scanning. The bot never requests your private key or seed phrase.
HyperLiquid execution wallet (the beta venue). Hedges execute on HyperLiquid using an agent signing key you provide. That credential is not an API secret: it is a private key, and Aegis signs trades with it server-side, autonomously. It cannot withdraw or transfer funds — that capability does not exist for an agent wallet, so there is no permission to disable. You can revoke it at HyperLiquid at any time. Funds stay in your HyperLiquid account.
CEX execution wallet (Binance/BingX — planned, not active in the beta). Those venues use a conventional API key + secret with configurable permissions. There, withdrawal and transfer permissions must be disabled when you create the key — a step that has no equivalent on HyperLiquid.
Encrypted API keys. API keys are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM inside the Aegis infrastructure. They are never displayed back to you after saving. For more details see API Keys — Overview and FAQ — Security.
Bot FSM lifecycle. Each bot instance runs a finite state machine. State transitions (idle → monitoring → active hedge → closing) are driven by on-chain price data and LP range positions.
