Almanak is a DeFi agent framework that helps developers develop, test, and deploy autonomous trading strategies. Its website positions the platform as a way to build 'institutional-grade trading strategies' either directly in an application or by using an open-source Python SDK. The product focuses on turning trading logic into an intent-based workflow: users express actions like Swap, LP, and Borrow, while the framework compiles and executes the underlying transactions.
Almanak also emphasizes comprehensive testing and production readiness. It describes features such as PnL simulation, paper trading on Anvil forks, Monte Carlo analysis, and parameter sweeps from the CLI. For execution, it highlights gateway security architecture, alerting, stuck detection, emergency management, and canary deployments. The framework integrates with multiple protocols across multiple chains (12 chains and 20+ protocol connectors are listed), and it states that strategy code is fully auditable with backtesting and stress testing before deployment. It further notes non-custodial operation using Safe smart accounts, with a gateway sidecar that mediates external operations.
