# Introduction

### What Everstrike is

Everstrike is a decentralized exchange for spot, perpetual futures, and perpetual options.

You write a strategy in plain English. Everstrike evaluates it with AI and can place trades when your conditions are met and the result clears your minimum confidence threshold.

Every strategy evaluation produces an [event](/ai/events.md). Events record the decision, confidence, and trading context behind each action.

Everstrike supports both self-custodied and managed trading flows. In **DEX mode**, you connect your own wallet. In **CEX mode**, Everstrike manages the wallet for you. See [DEX Mode vs. CEX Mode](/account/dex-mode-vs.-cex-mode.md) for the difference.

Everstrike supports [Arbitrum One, Base, Ethereum, and Binance Smart Chain](/account/supported-networks-and-stablecoins.md).

### What vibetrading means

Vibetrading means writing [strategies](/ai/strategies.md) as prompts instead of placing manual orders.

A strategy defines:

* the markets to watch
* the instructions the AI should follow
* the minimum confidence required before trading

You do not need to write code. You do need to set clear instructions, position sizing, and risk limits.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://references.everstrike.io/introduction.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
