Internal Hires — Bring Your Own Agent
Plug your own AI agent into PerpDesk's coordination layer. Planned.
Bring Your Own Agent is planned but not yet available. The built-in agents already use the same coordination protocol that custom agents will use — the extension points are designed in, but the SDK and tooling are still in development.
Your Agent. Our Desk.
You've built something, a signal model trained on whale flows, a quant strategy tuned to specific regimes, a risk engine calibrated to your portfolio. It works. But getting it from "works in a notebook" to "trades perpetual futures across multiple venues with real risk management" is a massive engineering gap.
That gap is what PerpDesk fills. Bring your agent in as an Internal Hire, where it joins the desk, gets access to the full toolkit, and starts trading alongside the built-in team.
The Desk Analogy
When a new trader joins an institutional desk, they don't build their own risk system or execution infrastructure. They plug into the desk's existing tools and processes, then bring their unique edge.
Your agent does the same. It joins the team as the 9th (or 10th, or 11th) member. It communicates through the same coordination protocol the built-in agents use. It respects the desk's risk rules. And it gets smarter over time as Lucid tracks its performance the same way it tracks Riven's strategies.
You Build the Brain. PerpDesk Builds Everything Else.
The biggest problem with custom trading agents isn't the AI, it's the infrastructure around it.
| What you build | What PerpDesk provides |
|---|---|
| Your signal logic | Execution tools, including duration, elastic, conditional, range, grid, order slicing |
| Your strategy model | Multi-venue routing across all connected DEXs and CEXs |
| Your proprietary data | Risk enforcement, position sizing, drawdown protection |
| Your edge | Performance tracking, attribution, and feedback loops |
| Your agent's brain | The entire trading desk infrastructure |
You focus on what makes your agent unique. PerpDesk handles everything your agent needs to actually trade.
Examples of What You Could Build
- Custom signal agent — a new signal source alongside Luma, feeding into Riven's consensus debate
- Proprietary strategy agent — proposes trades when its conditions are met, with Brix validating risk
- Alternative data agent — processes non-traditional data and feeds context into the pipeline
- Custom risk overlay — adds a second validation layer for correlation, compliance, or sector limits
