# What's Otomate?

### What’s Otomate?

<br>

Otomate is an automation layer for on-chain perpetual markets.

<br>

It allows users to deploy capital into automated execution strategies on perp DEXs — without manually trading — while keeping full visibility and control over their positions.

<br>

Otomate is non-custodial and operates entirely through wallet signatures.

### What Otomate does

<br>

Otomate turns capital into continuous on-chain activity.

<br>

Instead of placing trades manually, users allocate capital to execution strategies that run automatically in the background:

* generating volume
* maintaining exposure
* participating on-chain over time

<br>

The system is built for execution, not prediction.

***

### Execution, not speculation

<br>

Otomate strategies are not directional bets.

<br>

They are designed to:

* operate continuously
* minimize market timing decisions
* prioritize participation and activity over PnL optimization

<br>

Some strategies aim to preserve capital while generating volume (delta-neutral / maker-style execution).

Others prioritize higher activity and frequency.

<br>

The objective is not to “outperform the market”, but to stay active on-chain efficiently.

***

### Non-custodial by design

<br>

Otomate never takes custody of funds.

Capital stays in the user’s own Nado sub-account.

Every action is authorized via wallet signatures.

Otomate cannot withdraw, move, or reuse funds outside execution.

<br>

Execution is automated.

Capital ownership remains with the user.

***

### One execution layer, multiple strategies

<br>

Different users have different objectives.

<br>

Otomate provides a single execution layer that can support:

* Automated activity strategies (volume / delta-neutral)
* Trader-following strategies (copy execution)
* Future execution models as on-chain markets evolve

<br>

Each strategy defines how execution happens.

Otomate handles when and where it runs.

***

### Why Otomate exists

<br>

Most users don’t want to trade all day.

<br>

They want:

* exposure
* participation
* automation

<br>

On-chain markets already reward activity — but execution is fragmented and manual.

<br>

Otomate abstracts execution complexity into a simple system:

set it once, let it run.
