Automated crypto trading tools are moving further onto blockchain infrastructure as SneedDAO prepares to release its new Sneed Trading Bots, offering early users discounted access ahead of a broader rollout later this week.
The bots, scheduled for release later today, are being introduced as fully on chain and non custodial trading engines built on the Internet Computer (ICP) network. According to the announcement, users retain direct control through their own wallets rather than handing funds to a centralised service, a design that reflects growing demand for self custody following past failures in custodial crypto platforms.
Two trading bots are currently available through a public pre release sale on Sneedex, with minting on the Sneedapp store set to open later the same day. Standard mint pricing has been set at 25 ICP per bot, while Sneed Premium members are offered a reduced rate of 20 ICP. The early access phase appears aimed at testing adoption and gathering user feedback before wider distribution.
Alongside the trading bot launch, SneedDAO is releasing version 0.9.2 of its existing ICP Staking Bot, allowing current users to upgrade. The update introduces a feature called “Bot events”, designed to let separate automated agents respond to one another’s actions. Developers describe this as a coordination system where bots can monitor triggers across accounts and react automatically.
Examples shared in the announcement include a staking bot responding to risk controls activated by a trading bot, such as dissolving a neuron stake if a circuit breaker event occurs. Conversely, trading activity could direct funds into staking positions when predefined market conditions are met. The aim is to allow users to build networks of automated strategies operating continuously without manual intervention.
Automation tools are becoming increasingly common across decentralised finance, though their effectiveness often depends on market conditions and user configuration. While on chain execution may offer transparency and verifiability, automated trading still carries familiar risks, including volatility exposure, software errors and poorly configured strategies. Projects introducing such systems typically face scrutiny over reliability and security once real trading volumes increase.
SneedDAO positions its ecosystem as wallet controlled infrastructure operating entirely within the Internet Computer environment, with management handled through Sneed Hub. Supporters argue that keeping execution on chain reduces reliance on external servers, though wider adoption will likely hinge on usability and sustained performance under live market pressure.
The release places SneedDAO among a growing group of developers exploring autonomous financial tooling built directly into blockchain networks. Whether coordinated bot systems become practical tools for everyday users or remain niche automation experiments will depend on how participants respond once the bots move beyond early access testing.
