# What is Arbital?

Arbital is one terminal to trade everything - crypto, tokenized stocks, and perps - with automated strategies you can deploy across leading perp DEXs.

## The Problem

Trading today is fragmented:

Cryptocurrency on one app, stocks on a broker, perps scattered across a dozen DEXs. Every venue means another interface, another wallet flow, another set of fees. And automated strategies - market making, grid trading - stay locked behind quant teams and privileged infrastructure.

Arbital makes buying any asset simple - one terminal, every market.

## The Arbital Solution

Arbital is two products in one terminal:

**Trade** - every asset, one interface.

Trade crypto, tokenized stocks, and perps without switching platforms. A live social feed with sentiment on every ticker, so you see what the market is talking about while you trade it.

**Bots** - your account, our strategies.

Connect your own account on any supported perp DEX and deploy automated market making strategies on top of it, with grid strategies rolling out. Choose your venue, asset, execution mode, and budget - the bot runs on your account, tracks efficiency in real time, and you can pause it anytime.

All non-custodial. Arbital never holds your funds - trades execute from your own wallet and your own exchange accounts.

**You choose:** the asset, the venue, the strategy and risk profile.

**Arbital handles:** routing, order placement, inventory management, risk controls.

```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
