Permafrost. Your AI trading desk,
locked in the ice.
A Go framework for self-custodied algorithmic trading. Write deterministic strategies, optionally augment them with an LLM, and run them locally on a real arctic-themed operator dashboard.
One command, from clone to decisions
What you get out of the box
Six things the framework gives you on day one. Bring your own strategy.
Open framework, your strategies
Drop a folder under strategies/, register in init(), add one blank import to enable it. Same shape as Hummingbot, in Go.
Self-custodied by design
Spot positions live in your own wallet. Perp orders are signed by your local keystore. No exchange custody, no rehypothecation.
AI augments, never invents
Strategies are deterministic Go. The LLM can veto entries, score candidates, and tune thresholds -- but never produces orders directly.
Auditable to the prompt
Every decision is persisted with the exact prompt, model response, and resulting on-chain action. Joinable in TimescaleDB.
Real killswitch
agent stop --all cancels every open order, flattens shorts via reduce-only market orders, and (opt-in) liquidates spot legs back to USDC.
Reconciliation built in
Framework state matches venue truth after every tick. Drift is detected and surfaces in the decision log; the killswitch can engage on persistent drift.
The Expedition
Permafrost uses a polar-camp metaphor for every moving part of the framework. Click any character to see what they do.
