Multi-Chain AI Trading Vault
Transparent on-chain vaults funding a deterministic, off-chain futures-trading engine
Dashbone AI Trading Vault is a dual-chain (BSC + Solana) platform where user deposits stay in transparent on-chain vaults while the capital they authorize is bridged off-chain to fund a 24/7 automated leveraged-futures trading engine on Binance. Users deposit native assets (USDT on BSC, SOL/SPL on Solana) into chain-specific vaults and receive proportional share tokens. A whitelisted operator bridges a capped share of that capital to a single Binance USDS-M Futures account, where a deterministic, technical-indicator-driven grid-trading bot (RSI/EMA/ATR/MACD — no black-box AI in the trade-decision path) runs continuously across the top ~60 coins by trading volume. Realized profit is pulled back and settled on-chain roughly every 6 hours, split proportionally between the two chains by how much each contributed. Each chain's vault operates independently — no bridges or message-passing between BSC and Solana — while a unified backend indexes both chains and aggregates portfolios into a single dashboard. The product has also grown a social layer on top of the vaults: copy-trading, a leaderboard/reputation system, and an AI chat copilot for support and education. We take a performance-based fee (up to 5%) only on profits — aligning incentives with user success.

Automated, custody-preserving trading doesn't exist today
Market Gap — no platform combines transparent, non-custodial on-chain deposits with professional-grade automated execution that:
Seven product pillars mapped directly from the pitch deck
Smart contracts, cross-chain infrastructure, backend modules, and frontend stack
| BSC Contract | Role |
|---|---|
| Vault.sol | User deposits/withdrawals, share token minting, delegates to a pluggable strategy |
| Strategy.sol | Base whitelisted-call strategy contract |
| CEXStrategy.sol | Deployed strategy — bridges vault funds to Binance Futures for the trading bot, reports profit back |
| FeeManager.sol | Calculates & distributes performance fees (5% cap), tier discounts |
| Converter.sol | USDT to DBN conversion via oracle price + DBN reserve |
| OracleRouter.sol / PriceOracle.sol | Chainlink-backed price feed for DBN/USDT |
| DBN Token | Governance and staking rewards |
| Solana Program | Role |
|---|---|
| vault | PDA-based vault, SPL share token, deposit/withdraw/withdrawal-queue, performance-fee config on vault state, plus the CEX bridge (allocate_to_strategy / replenish_cex / settle_profit / withdraw_to_vault) |
| converter | Native SOL to DBN conversion; the SOL/DBN price feed is folded directly into converter state (no standalone oracle program) |
| dbn-token | DBN SPL token + staking — cooldown or immediate unstake, tier discounts on vault fees |
3 programs today — consolidated from an earlier design that split fee, oracle, and strategy logic into their own programs. Fewer programs to deploy, secure, and pay ongoing rent on, ahead of mainnet.
Aligned incentives and scalable economics
Unit economics, TAM, and financial projections are business assumptions carried from the fundraising deck — not re-derived from the codebase. They should be reviewed and refreshed by the team before this deck goes out.
Large TAM with clear competitive moat
TAM figures below need a refresh against the current CEX-trading positioning rather than the prior DeFi-yield framing — not something derivable from the codebase.

Seed-funded milestones gated to tranche releases
This phased plan and its funding-tranche gates are a fundraising artifact tied to timeline/dates the team controls. It should be reviewed against actual progress: BSC testnet and Solana devnet deployments are already live per current deployment records, which may put the team ahead of some gates below.
| Week | Deliverable |
|---|---|
| 1–2 | BSC Vault.sol audit complete, Solana vault devnet deploy |
| 3–4 | BSC Converter (USDT→DBN) + OracleRouter live on testnet |
| 5–6 | Tranche 2 Gate: BSC Mainnet vault ($5M cap) + Solana vault devnet |
| Week | Deliverable |
|---|---|
| 7–8 | Solana converter (SOL→DBN via Pyth) + price-sync cron |
| 9 | Reserve-monitor cron (both chains) |
| 10 | Tranche 2 complete: Dual converter end-to-end |
| Week | Deliverable |
|---|---|
| 11 | Solana staking mainnet + BSC staking parity |
| 12 | Dual-chain indexer (ethers.js + @solana/web3.js) → Postgres |
| 13 | Portfolio aggregation API (unified Total Value) |
| 14 | Tranche 3 Gate: Dual-chain CEX trading bridge live, admin/ops oracle divergence dashboard |
Execution milestones and operational KPIs
Current metrics tied to the prior DeFi-yield-scanning narrative (protocol/pool counts, forecast accuracy) no longer reflect where capital is deployed and have been removed rather than carried forward inaccurately. Replace with live figures — current TVL, live positions, realized bot performance — before this deck goes out.

Seed round terms and milestone-gated tranches
Financial terms are a business decision, not something this update touches. "Reserve (DBN conversion liquidity)" is still accurate, but the milestone triggers below should be checked against actual current progress.
Valuation: $12M post-money (SAFE, 20% discount, $15M cap)
| Category | Allocation |
|---|---|
| Core Engineering (BSC + Solana) | $0.7M |
| Audits (OpenZeppelin + Anchor) | $0.3M |
| Infrastructure & Ops | $0.2M |
| Legal & Compliance | $0.15M |
| Reserve (DBN conversion liquidity) | $0.15M |
| Founder (award for initial yield/investment realignment) | $0.45M |
| Tranche | Amount | Trigger |
|---|---|---|
| T1 (Week 0) | $500k | Sign SAFE, begin 14-week sprint |
| T2 (Week 6) | $500k | BSC mainnet vault live + Solana devnet vault |
| T3 (Week 14) | $500k | Dual-chain indexer live, portfolio aggregation, dual-chain CEX trading bridge live |
| Risk | Mitigation |
|---|---|
| Smart contract bugs | OpenZeppelin + Anchor audits, bug bounty program, insurance |
| CEX counterparty risk (Binance) | On-chain exposure caps keep a portion of deposits on-chain at all times (never 100% off-chain); withdrawal queue protects users if too much value is deployed off-chain at request time |
| Leverage / liquidation risk | Isolated margin (losses capped per position), position sizing via the portfolio allocator, per-coin max-concentration cap |
| Trading model risk | Deterministic technical-indicator regime detection (RSI/EMA/ATR/MACD) — no reliance on an opaque AI model for trade execution; the AI copilot is advisory-only and never places trades |
| Protocol risk | Multi-protocol diversification, pause mechanism |
| Cross-chain price divergence | Price-sync cron with tolerance band, alerts |
| DBN reserve depletion | Reserve-monitor cron, alerts before either chain runs out |
| Regulatory | Legal team, compliance framework, adaptability |
| Market downturn | Isolated-margin sizing limits downside per position; kill-switch auto-pause on excess drawdown |
Financial projections are a business decision, not something this update touches. Worth a fresh look given the shift from a yield-farming to a CEX-trading revenue model.
