Baum: a trading desk you can text

Baum is an AI agent that runs an onchain account for you. You tell it what you want in Telegram or by text message; it swaps, lends and rebalances inside limits you set, and asks before it moves money. Behind it sits a launchpad: tokens start on a bonding curve and graduate to a pool with the liquidity locked. Matthew Jurenka built the trading terminal, the trading itself, the contracts for bundled launches and the texting.

624accounts opened.

15screens in the trading terminal, from markets to portfolio.

2 daysto move every screen onto live data.

The baumai.xyz landing page: the headline "Your stocks and crypto, run by one agent over SMS" beside a mock Telegram chat in which Baum proposes launching a token and asks for confirmation. — Plate 1. baumai.xyz. We rebuilt the marketing site, including the chat on the right, which shows the agent asking before it acts.

The terminal

We designed a trading terminal in the spirit of a Bloomberg screen: dense, keyboard first, a command line across the top that takes the same sentences you would text the agent. Markets, social, copy trading, portfolio, leaderboards, a basket that mirrors a member of Congress's filed trades, and a page for every token.

It started on 3 November as a prototype seeded with real Baum launches and users. By 6 November every screen read live data, and the terminal now runs at launch.baumai.xyz with one sign-in shared with the main site.

The charts are drawn by hand in SVG, with no chart library, so they look the same as the rest of the terminal and stay legible on a phone.

The terminal markets screen: a dark list of trending tokens with price, market cap, progress to graduation and a green buy button on each, and a panel showing what top traders are buying. — Plate 2. Markets. Each token shows how far its curve is from graduating; one tap buys at the size chosen above. Prototype, sample data.

A token page in the terminal: a live price chart, a progress bar reading 94% to graduation, a buy ticket and the latest trades with copy buttons. — Plate 3. A token page on desktop and on a phone. The ticket says plainly how much of the curve is sold and what happens at graduation. Prototype, sample data.

The same token page on a phone: the chart, the graduation bar and the buy ticket stacked, with the command line and tab bar at the bottom. — Plate 3. A token page on desktop and on a phone. The ticket says plainly how much of the curve is sold and what happens at graduation. Prototype, sample data.

The copy trading screen: a list of traders with their 30-day returns and copier counts, each with a copy button, and a panel of the traders you already copy with their profit and loss. — Plate 4. Copy trading: pick a trader and every trade they make is made for you at your size. Prototype, sample data.

The trading underneath

Buying and selling: $BAUM trades through Uniswap with a 15 basis point fee, and launch tokens trade on their Pons bonding curves straight from a Baum wallet. Each token page shows the curve's tape: every buy and sell, as it happens.
Bundled launches: A group can pool money to launch a token together. We moved the pool out of a hot wallet into an escrow contract, deployed before anyone pays, and wrote BaumLocker, which holds the creator's tokens for 72 hours after launch. It is verified on Blockscout.
Baskets: One purchase that buys several tokens at set weights, across chains.

Texting an agent that holds money

We built the consent flow, in which a person agrees to be texted and proves they hold the handset, made every message one that carriers will deliver, identified Baum in each one, and moved sending from Twilio to Sendblue.

Baum's founder built most of the agent, the launchpad and the Deed Deck.

Need screens like these?

We build the contract and the interface that trades on it, and we draw the charts ourselves.
