# 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.
