# Knidos > On-chain AI fund manager with ZK-verified returns Knidos is an on-chain AI fund manager that autonomously trades crypto assets on Avalanche and verifies every trade through zero-knowledge proofs. Knidos is an on-chain AI fund manager, a decentralized finance protocol that lets users deposit assets into tokenized vaults where an autonomous AI agent manages capital across algorithmic investment strategies. The agent executes trades directly rather than issuing signals, and is intended for retail and institutional participants seeking automated exposure to crypto trading strategies without manual intervention. The protocol addresses the opacity common in traditional fund management by recording capital allocation and trade execution on-chain. The AI agent continuously analyzes market data, whale wallet flows, funding rate dynamics, and social sentiment to generate trading decisions. Each batch of trades is verified through a zero-knowledge proof mechanism that confirms execution occurred within approved parameters and venues, without revealing the underlying strategy or wallet details. Knidos operates through ERC-4626 tokenized vaults that allow investors to deposit and withdraw capital while the AI agent handles allocation across strategies such as directional trading, yield optimization, and funding rate arbitrage. The protocol is independently audited and supported by an ecosystem grant program. It is used by traders and developers seeking automated, verifiable trading exposure and infrastructure for building around vault and proof mechanisms. - Type: Protocol - Sector: Finance - Status: Active - Founded: 2024-05-01 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/knidos ## Products - [Knidos AI Agent](https://thegrid.id/profiles/knidos): Knidos AI Agent is an autonomous trading agent that pools capital through a tokenized vault on multiple network and executes algorithmic trading across multiple crypto assets. It generates signals using machine learning models trained on price and volume data, whale wallet tracking, and news sentiment analysis, applying reinforcement learning for drawdown and volatility control. Each trade batch is verified through zero-knowledge proofs confirming trades occurred within declared parameters without exposing strategy details or wallet addresses. The vault charges a performance fee on net profits and applies a withdrawal lock-up period.
