The internet is changing. We are rapidly transitioning from an internet of software used by humans to an internet of autonomous AI agents interacting with other machines.
If you build an AI agent today, it can write code, analyze data, and message clients. But the moment it needs to interact with capital markets, to hedge a position, spin up a yield strategy, or diversify into tokenized equities, it hits a wall. Traditional bank APIs require manual human approvals, and building custom code to connect an agent to multiple decentralized networks is a security nightmare.
Today, Compass Labs is changing that. We are launching the Compass CLI: DeFi in your terminal.
By packaging our institutional-grade on-chain capital markets API into a developer-first Command Line Interface and open-sourcing the compass-agent-skill, we are giving AI agents the ultimate financial toolkit.
Agents Sign. We Route.
The core philosophy behind the Compass CLI is simple: absolute non-custodial security combined with ultimate routing execution. Your AI agents generate and sign transactions locally in your environment. Compass never takes custody of private keys or funds.
Compass is the transaction architect for your agents. When an agent wants to act on on-chain capital markets, Compass does the heavy lifting under the hood: parsing the data, bundling complex multi-protocol actions into one, optimizing gas. The CLI hands back a structured, pre-optimized transaction payload. Your workflow signs and broadcasts it locally, inside your own secure environment. You keep 100% control over execution and custody, and Compass takes out the blockchain complexity.
What Your Agent Can Now Execute with a Single Command
With the Compass CLI installed, any developer or autonomous agent can instantly tap into vast, unified on-chain liquidity via platforms with billions in liquidity like Morpho, Aave, Pendle, Aerodrome, Hyperliquid, and Ondo across Base, Arbitrum, Tempo, and Ethereum:
- Yield: Scan and deposit across 25,000+ yield vaults.
- Credit: Borrow and lend natively against digital assets.
- Token Swaps: Route trades optimally across thousands underlying assets.
- Tokenized Stocks: Trade 250+ tokenized equities (like TSLA or NVDA) 24/7.
- Derivatives: Trade FX, commodities, and stocks across 80+ perpetual and spot markets.
- Live risk & position monitoring: Track active balances, open positions, and market exposure parameters in real time.
Drops Into the Tooling You Already Use
We built the Compass CLI to drop cleanly into the tools you already use every single day. Whether you are building custom workflows or running autonomous environments, the CLI features native integrations for AI agents, such as:
- Claude Code
- Hermes Agent
- OpenClaw
- Your native shell (zsh/bash)
Build the Future of Autonomous Finance
From asking an agent to "Deposit $5,000 into the highest-yield vault" to executing complex risk-assessment checks like "What breaks if cbBTC drops 30% on Base?", the interface between natural language and complex on-chain execution is now completely seamless.
The infrastructure is ready. The CLI is live.
