How 24-7 Markets works.

Autoresearch

Autoresearch is the engine that selects your portfolio. Inspired by Andrej Karpathy's approach to training neural networks — run many experiments, keep the winner — it continuously tests different portfolio configurations against real market data.

How it works

1. Generate candidates — Different combinations of assets, weights, and risk profiles are created as portfolio candidates.
2. Replay-test — Each candidate is simulated against recent historical market data (typically 30 days). Performance metrics like return, drawdown, and turnover are measured.
3. Promote the winner — The best-performing candidate becomes the active portfolio for that slot. This evaluation cycle runs regularly.

When you complete the onboarding questionnaire, your answers determine which portfolio slot fits you. The portfolio you see is the current champion from the latest Autoresearch cycle for that slot.

24/7 Market Intelligence

24-7 Markets continuously ingests market data to surface real-time signals alongside your portfolio. Currently powered by Polymarket prediction markets, with Twitter/X sentiment and additional data sources coming soon.

What you see

• Market signals — Current market outlook and confidence indicators relevant to your portfolio holdings.
• Drivers — The key factors moving your portfolio right now, with positive/neutral/warning indicators.
• Recent changes — What changed since the last evaluation cycle and how it affects your holdings.

Data sources

• Polymarket — Real-time prediction market data for macro and sector sentiment (live now).
• Twitter/X — Social sentiment analysis for individual holdings (coming soon).
• On-chain analytics — Token flow and liquidity signals from xStocks and DeFi protocols (coming soon).

Portfolio construction

Each portfolio is a basket of tokenized US equities (xStocks tokens) plus a USDC cash reserve. Every token is backed 1:1 by the underlying equity held by xStocks.

Asset roles

• Core holdings — The primary growth drivers of the portfolio. These carry the largest weights.
• Growth drivers — Complementary positions that add revenue breadth and diversification.
• Stability anchors — Lower-volatility positions that reduce overall portfolio drawdown.
• Cash reserve — USDC held for rebalancing liquidity and withdrawal readiness. This is always visible and never hidden.

Weights are set by the Autoresearch evaluation and only change when a new winning configuration is promoted.

Onboarding flow

The 7-question onboarding determines your risk tolerance, theme preference, rebalance style, and conviction level. Your answers narrow down which portfolio type fits you best.

After answering, you see a simulated replay showing how the portfolio would have performed over the last 30 days starting from $1,000. This is a backtest, not a guarantee of future performance.

You can review every holding, weight, and rebalancing rule before connecting your wallet or depositing anything.

Infrastructure

xStocks

Tokenized US equities on Ethereum. Each xStocks token represents a 1:1 backed position in the underlying stock. Settlement happens on-chain.

Privy

Handles wallet creation and authentication. You can connect with an existing wallet or create a new smart wallet through Privy. Your keys stay with you — 24-7 Markets never takes custody.

CoW Protocol

Executes trades with MEV protection. When the portfolio rebalances, CoW Protocol finds the best execution route and protects your trades from front-running.

1inch

DEX aggregation for optimal swap routing. Works alongside CoW Protocol to ensure you get the best available price across decentralized exchanges.

Chainlink CRE

Automation rails for rebalancing. Monitors portfolio drift and triggers rebalance reviews when thresholds are crossed. Runs on Chainlink's decentralized infrastructure.

Custody and control

24-7 Markets is non-custodial. Your assets stay in the wallet you connect through Privy. You approve all changes before they execute.

• Pause — Stop all rebalancing activity at any time. Your positions stay in your wallet.
• Exit — Withdraw your assets whenever you want. No lock-up periods.
• Transparency — Every holding, weight, route, and rebalance rule is visible before you fund.

Rebalancing

Portfolios are rebalanced based on rules set during the Autoresearch evaluation:

• Drift threshold — Rebalancing only triggers when asset weights drift beyond a set threshold (typically 2-3%).
• Scheduled checks — The system checks for drift on a regular cadence (monthly, biweekly, or weekly depending on your portfolio type).
• Your approval — You approve all rebalances before they execute. Nothing trades without your confirmation.

Risks and limitations

• Past performance shown in replays does not guarantee future results.
• Tokenized equities carry smart contract risk in addition to market risk.
• Rebalancing incurs swap fees and potential slippage.
• The cash reserve reduces full equity exposure — this is intentional for rebalancing liquidity.
• 24-7 Markets is in preview. Some features are simulated until full activation.
