Bastian built Calypso, an AI-powered autonomous agent system that spawns trading bot swarms across Stellar DEXes using x402 micropayments. The hackathon project serves as the technical foundation for Hoops Finance's next phase, enabling realistic testnet market conditions and agent-native DeFi strategy execution.
Calypso is a three-endpoint x402-gated API that uses autonomous agents to spawn coordinated trading bot swarms across multiple Stellar DEXes. The system uses AI to plan bot configurations, simulate multi-DEX trading in real time, and analyze protocol health. Built in 48 hours for Stellar Hacks: Agents, Calypso addresses a critical gap left by deprecated tools like Kelp and Rockfish by providing AI-tuned, multi-DEX market simulation for testnet. The architecture separates agent execution from API logic, enabling autonomous operation after initial user funding. Calypso is open source and serves as the foundation for Hoops Finance's agent smart accounts, automated yield strategies, and x402-based monetization layer.
