The founding idea behind Cirify was born over ten years ago — long before the technology or regulatory landscape made it viable. The vision was clear: build an automated, AI-driven trading system that could operate independently across financial markets, removing the emotional and logistical barriers that hold most traders back. From the very beginning, the goal was not a quick product, but a lasting, institutional-grade solution.
Over the course of several years, the team developed, tested, and discarded countless approaches. Multiple bot architectures were built and evaluated across different market conditions. Strategies were backtested over two decades of historical data — covering bull runs, crashes, sideways markets, and black-swan events. Countless conversations were held with market participants, technical experts, legal advisors, and potential partners. Many paths were explored. Many did not work. Every failure brought the team closer to what did.
The journey was not linear. There were periods of strong results and periods of adversity — market-wide downturns, shifting regulatory environments, technical setbacks, and the broader challenges of building a company with a long time horizon in a fast-moving industry. Through it all, the core team remained committed to the original vision and used each challenge as a source of data and refinement. The volatility of the crypto markets tested every model rigorously — and the systems that survived became stronger for it.
By 2024, the systems had reached a level of maturity that warranted extended live-market runs. The bots were deployed in real market environments — not just simulations — and monitored rigorously across crypto markets, prediction markets such as Polymarket, and additional asset classes. The results confirmed what the backtests had suggested: the strategies were robust, adaptive, and capable of operating without manual intervention across diverse market regimes. The platform was market-ready.
In 2026, Cirify is formally incorporated and licensed under the Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) as a regulated broker-dealer for virtual asset services. The platform enters its PRE Phase in May 2026, with registration opening to the public in June and the full Beta launching in September. After more than a decade of development, the marketplace for AI trading bots is finally open.
