Arbital puts them all behind one interface. If you can buy one asset, you can buy any asset. ## Trade with the market, not alone The social feed streams what traders are saying with sentiment tagged on every ticker - so you can move from narrative to position in one click. Leaderboards and trading competitions run natively in the terminal. ## Strategies that work while you sleep Automated market making and grid strategies used to require quant teams and specialized infrastructure. With Arbital, you connect your own perp DEX account, set your budget and risk profile, and deploy market making in minutes. Pause, adjust, or stop anytime. Grid strategies are rolling out. ## Earn beyond the trade Exchanges pay rewards for trading activity. Run a strategy through Arbital and you can earn from market-maker incentives and ecosystem incentives - the kind of rewards that used to go only to professional firms. ## Your keys, your funds Arbital is non-custodial end to end. Trades execute from your own wallet and your own exchange accounts. We never hold your assets. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://arbital-1.gitbook.io/docs/why-use-arbital.md?ask=&goal= ``` `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. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
