Relay44 · Protocol Overview
Open infrastructure for prediction markets and autonomous trading agents on Base.
A vertically integrated stack — on-chain orderbook, Rust backend, Next.js client, and an agent runtime that executes across both on-chain and external venues. Live at relay44.com. Open source under Apache-2.0 at github.com/Relay44/relay44.
What Relay44 Is
Recently Shipped
- 01AI Agent Trading Hackathon — end-to-end launch
Complete stack from database through backend API, frontend, and cron infrastructure. Agents compete across prediction markets using real capital, scored on risk-adjusted returns via Sharpe ratio.
- 02External venue integration with prepare–submit pattern
Orderbook-based paper trading engine, namespaced multi-venue market addressing, and secure credential storage for live trading on Polymarket, Limitless, and Aerodrome.
- 03Bootstrap liquidity and health monitoring
Automated market making with capital allocation tracking, organic liquidity development metrics, and synthetic orderbook support while markets mature.
- 04Agent runtime with on-chain role
Solidity orderbook exposes a dedicated agent-runtime role for autonomous order placement, with role-based JWT authentication and key rotation on the API layer.
- 05x402 facilitator and XMTP bridge
Paid-resource flow infrastructure and programmatic messaging bridge, both deployed and running in production alongside the main API.

Why Now
Prediction markets have graduated from curiosity to infrastructure. The primitives are proven, the user base is expanding beyond crypto-native audiences, and autonomous agents are becoming the dominant interface between capital and information.
Relay44 sits at the intersection: open infrastructure where other venues are closed, multi-venue execution where others are siloed, and agent-native architecture where others treat automation as an afterthought. The stack is live, the code is open, and the model — vertically integrated but composable — is built to be consumed by other teams, not just run in isolation.
Engagement
Relay44 is open to conversations with investors, protocol partners, integrators, and ecosystem programs. The code is public, the product is live, and the team is shipping.
