# 1. Intro

Perpbot is an automation layer for decentralized perpetual futures trading that lets anyone run professional-grade strategies with a few clicks.

Instead of manually staring at charts and placing orders, users:

* Connect their Aster account securely
* Choose a backtested Perpbot preset strategy (e.g. **Aster X1 Low**)
* Or plug in their own TradingView strategy via webhooks
* Let the Perpbot engine execute trades consistently, 24/7

Perpbot’s long-term vision is to become the **automation hub for perps and DeFi**, combining:

* **Algorithmic trading** (preset & custom strategies)
* **On-chain capital** (PERP token economy, buyback & burn, revenue sharing of bot profits)
* **Off-chain liquidity & execution** (Aster Perpetual DEX)

> ⚠️ **Risk disclaimer**\
> Perpbot uses leveraged futures. You can lose money, including your entire account balance. Nothing here is financial advice. Only trade with capital you can afford to lose.
