Sparkling – The Self-Custody Trading App with AI for Crypto Markets

Zero API Keys and Absolute Self-Custody

Standard automation tools require you to generate API keys on centralised exchanges and grant them trading permissions. This creates a persistent security vulnerability. Sparkling operates differently. We are a wallet-native assistant. You connect your existing self-custodial wallet (via Telegram Wallet or WalletConnect). We never see your private keys, and they never leave your device. The AI assistant prepares the transaction payload, but only your local device can sign and execute it.

Conversational Execution in Plain English

Configuring grid parameters or writing Python scripts creates a high barrier to entry. Sparkling utilises a chat-first interface. You interact with the assistant using plain English commands. You can type or dictate instructions such as: “Show my PnL”, “Swap 100 USDT to SOL at the best available rate”, or “Buy the stablecoin currently yielding the highest return”. The assistant parses the intent, calculates the optimal route, and prepares the execution.

Sparkling vs. Traditional Automation Tools

The distinction between a legacy automated script and an agentic assistant is fundamental.

Native Integration Without Additional Apps

You do not need to download a dedicated app to access Sparkling. By opening the Sparkling assistant inside Telegram, you gain immediate access to the full market interface. The onboarding process takes under two minutes. Sign in with your email or connect your wallet, and your account is ready in seconds.

Instant Notifications and Execution Control

An automated system is only as useful as the oversight you maintain over it. When you issue a command, the assistant does not execute blindly. It preps the research, checks liquidity, calculates slippage, and identifies the best venue. It then presents you with a detailed confirmation card showing the exact price, the routing path, and the network fees. You review the quote and confirm the transaction with a single tap.

Security Architecture Within Telegram

Using a Telegram-based assistant often raises questions about message interception or data privacy. In the Sparkling architecture, Telegram acts strictly as a communication layer and user interface. All cryptographic operations, including the generation of transaction signatures, occur locally on your device or within your secure wallet environment. The assistant transmits the prepared transaction data, but it cannot move your funds without your explicit, localised cryptographic approval.

Multichain Swaps with Automated Gas Optimisation

Moving assets across different blockchains usually requires manual bridging, which is slow and expensive. Sparkling abstracts this complexity. The assistant routes your swap through the best aggregator per pair, automatically calculating and optimising gas fees.

Perpetual Contracts and Prediction Markets*

Execute leveraged long and short positions via zero-knowledge perpetuals exchanges like Lighter. Additionally, you can take positions on real-world event outcomes through integration with Polymarket. (*Subject to regulatory restrictions in Australia — see local section below).

Access to Tokenised US Equities via xStocks

Gain exposure to companies like Tesla, Apple, and Nvidia using USDT — without an international brokerage account, without minimum deposits, and without traditional market-hour restrictions. Type “Buy $50 Tesla” and confirm with one tap.

Intelligent Preference Learning

The assistant improves its execution based on your historical behaviour. It memorises your acceptable slippage limits, your preferred decentralised exchanges, and your typical position sizing, turning repeated choices into safer, one-tap defaults.

⚠️ Regulatory Compliance Notice for Australian Users

Access to derivatives and prediction markets may be subject to strict restrictions under ASIC regulations and Australian law. Please review the full compliance notice in the local advantages section below.

Transparent Record-Keeping for CGT Compliance (ATO)

In Australia, capital gains from the disposal of crypto assets are subject to Capital Gains Tax (CGT). However, if you hold the asset for more than 12 months, you are entitled to a 50% CGT discount for individuals. Compliance requires meticulous record-keeping of every transaction, including acquisition dates, disposal dates, and cost bases. Because Sparkling executes transactions directly on-chain and provides a complete, transparent ledger of every action, it generates the exact data required for your tax return. Every confirmation card details the exact entry price, exit price, and network fees, allowing you or your accountant to accurately calculate your CGT obligations to the ATO (Australian Taxation Office) without relying on opaque centralised exchange reports.

Support for Networks with High Adoption in Australia

Australian traders heavily utilise Layer 1 and Layer 2 networks that offer excellent DeFi liquidity at low costs. Sparkling provides seamless, native support for Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, Base, Arbitrum, and TON. The assistant’s routing engine is optimised to find the most efficient paths across these specific chains, ensuring high liquidity and minimal latency for users in the region.

Minimisation of Execution Costs

For active traders, network fees and poor routing can severely impact profitability. Sparkling’s agentic routing continuously scans the decentralised exchange landscape. By aggregating quotes and optimising the transaction path before execution, the assistant minimises both slippage and the gas fees required to complete your trades, preserving your capital against the wide spreads often found on local platforms.

Privacy-First Architecture (Australian Privacy Act)

As a self-custody tool, Sparkling processes only the minimal data required. All transaction signatures occur locally on your device. We never store private keys and fully comply with the requirements of the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).

⚠️ Important Regulatory & Compliance Notice

Sparkling is a self-custody AI assistant, not a registered financial adviser, broker, exchange, or custodian. We do not hold user funds.

In accordance with the guidelines of the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), the marketing and sale of crypto derivatives (such as perpetual contracts or futures) to retail clients is strictly prohibited in Australia. This applies regardless of whether the provider is based domestically or overseas.

Additionally, prediction markets fall under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 and relevant state/territory gambling legislation. They cannot be offered as investment instruments to Australian residents without appropriate licensing.

Access to certain features, such as perpetual contracts (via Lighter) or prediction markets (via Polymarket), may be geo-blocked or restricted for IP addresses and users residing in Australia. Sparkling is provided strictly as a non-custodial software tool for informational and self-custody purposes. We do not process fiat transactions. You are solely responsible for ensuring your compliance with all applicable Australian laws and regulations, including reporting crypto gains to the ATO.

No Monthly Subscriptions or SaaS Fees

You can use the Sparkling assistant free of any recurring software charges. We do not lock advanced features behind a paywall or require a premium tier to access cross-chain routing, tokenised equities, or prediction markets. Access to the assistant, the interface, and the analytical tools is completely free.

Execution-Based Protocol Fees

Instead of a subscription, Sparkling applies a transparent, flat fee structure only upon the successful execution of a transaction. You pay the standard blockchain network fee (gas) plus a minimal protocol fee for the assistant’s routing and execution services. There are no hidden spreads or artificial markups added to the market price. You always see the exact market rate before you confirm.

Instant Access Without KYC Friction

Because Sparkling is a self-custodial application, we do not hold your funds. Therefore, there is no need to undergo lengthy Know Your Customer (KYC) verifications to deposit or trade. You connect your wallet, and you can begin executing commands immediately.
