Find the answer to your task
- Where is everything?: a screen-by-screen navigation map.
- Deposit money, withdraw, move funds or get gas.
- Buy or sell, perpetuals, practice in Paper.
- Build a strategy, understand a backtest, save/deploy/stop.
- Charts and indicators, market research, community feed.
- Account and billing, notifications, connect another AI client.
The assistant can explain documented product behavior, research markets, change charts and author supported strategies. Its action tools and your current account state govern what it can actually perform. A question such as “How do I buy?” is a request for instructions, not authorization to place an order.
Astral is a workspace for discovering on-chain tokens, inspecting market context, building explicit strategies, and testing them against available history.
Start with the token
Find a token in discovery or search an exact Solana mint. Check its network and address: a ticker alone does not uniquely identify a token. Inspect the data returned for that token, including price, liquidity, trading activity and holders where available.
From research to rules
Describe an entry, exit and position size in Terminal. Review the generated code and verify that the strategy uses supported inputs. A metric displayed in a research panel is not automatically available as an executable strategy condition.
Run a backtest and inspect its effective history, warmup, cost assumptions and completed trades. Save a version before making further changes.
Choose a mode deliberately
Research and backtesting do not need trading capital. Paper execution uses simulated funds where supported. Live activity requires an eligible account, supported execution path and its authorization. Subscription access does not guarantee that a token supports every operation.
Where enabled, Astral wallets are linked to your Astral account and can include Solana and supported EVM networks. Read Wallets and funding before using them. Hyperliquid perpetuals have separate account preparation and eligibility.
