# About

Midas is an AI-synthesized markets workspace for discovering, analyzing, and trading crypto spot and perpetual markets from one account.

* **Markets in context** — Midas brings market data, live intelligence, portfolio state, and execution into one workflow.
* **Built around AI** — Ask Midas helps explain market movement, summarize analysis, and prepare user-confirmed actions.
* **Execution-ready** — Wallets, balances, swaps, bridges, and perps routes are connected to the same product surface.

## What Midas combines

Midas combines a trading terminal, wallet, AI analyst, live market feed, and execution router. The product is designed so a user can move from discovery to analysis to action without switching tools.

* Dashboard for headlines, market sectors, trending assets, and The Wire.
* Portfolio for cash, positions, orders, transaction history, and rewards state.
* Markets for crypto spot assets and supported Hyperliquid perpetuals.
* Chat for Ask Midas, account-aware explanations, and pending action confirmations.

## Product principles

Midas should make markets easier to understand without hiding risk. It prioritizes explicit routes, visible confirmations, and context-rich explanations.

The system should fail loudly instead of guessing when it cannot safely determine a chain, token, amount, wallet, or trade direction.

## Where to start

Sign in at app.midasmarkets.xyz, complete onboarding, fund your account, then use Dashboard, Markets, Portfolio, or Ask Midas depending on whether you want discovery, execution, account review, or analysis.

**Not financial advice**

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```

```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
