merrymen is a trading bot you run yourself. It works the market for you on Robinhood Chain — but your keys stay on your machine, and the spending limits you set are enforced by the blockchain itself, so it can never spend more than you allow. Name it, chat with it, and steer it from Telegram.
Anyone can ship a trading agent. The hard thing — the thing merrymen is — is an agent you don't have to trust: it runs on your machine, holds keys that never leave it, and trades inside caps the chain itself enforces. Everything else on this page is built on top of that wall.
No strategist, Telegram message, or voice note ever constructs calldata, moves funds, or touches your PC without passing a closed, typed command set and — for money — the on-chain policy wall. Trades pass caps enforced by the account contract. Transfers are amount-capped and confirm-gated. PC actions are off by default, allowlisted, and confirmed. A prompt-injected “send everything to 0xevil” can at worst produce a confirmation card you will see and cancel.
And you don't take our word for it: your dashboard shows the account contract, the session key, and every cap with explorer links — and a prove the wall button that fires malicious intents through the live policy so you can watch each one bounce.
A first-party agent is custodial by construction: their servers, their keys, their discretion — the safety story is a terms-of-service. If the platform, its model, or its prompt gets compromised, so does your account. You trust; it trades.
The agent lives on your machine and holds a session key whose caps — per-trade, daily, ops/day, drawdown, expiry — are enforced by your account contract on-chain, verifiable in the explorer. Even a fully compromised agent cannot spend past the wall. You verify; it trades.
The strategist proposes; deterministic code disposes. Nothing the model outputs — a trade, a transfer, a command — reaches your funds or your machine without passing a typed, closed command set and the on-chain policy wall.
One npm install, a local dashboard, and a worker that trades on a schedule. No servers, no sign-up — your data and your keys live in~/.merrymen and never leave it.

Link a bot and chat with your merryman in plain English or slash commands. Check the book, trade, transfer with a confirm, set price alerts, get a daily report — all inside the same permission walls. It even speaks first.
Screenshots, “what am I looking at?”, open apps, browse files, allowlisted shell, keystrokes, reminders and watchers — from Telegram. Off by default, one capability at a time, sharp edges always behind a confirm.
Give it a name. It keeps its own markdown files, learns who you are, writes a journal at campfire time, and grows attached the longer you ride together — from new companion to sworn brother-in-arms. Memory is context, never capability.
Claude proposes typed buy/sell/hold at decision windows; deterministic code validates and disposes. The model never sees an address.
steady-basket DCA, weekend-gap that trades the close→open gap, or a hot-reloaded bot you write yourself.
Per-trade, daily, ops/day, drawdown breaker, key expiry — enforced by the account contract on every operation.
Every swap gets a live quote before it is signed. Minimum-out is met, or nothing moves.
Send USDG out from Telegram — off by default, amount-capped on-chain, and always behind an explicit confirm.
Rejections shown with the same weight as wins. A simulation receipt attached to every trade.
Trades landing, drawdown, gas and expiry warnings, your price alerts, a daily report at your hour.
Send a voice note; ask what is on your screen. Powered by your own Anthropic key.
One command destroys the grant; the worker stands down next tick. On-chain expiry is the backstop.
Install, create an agent, watch it trade on paper. Real money is optional and comes later. No Node yet? The one-line installer handles it.
The one-click app — double-click to install, no terminal, no Node. Same dashboard + agent, with a tray icon to pause or quit. Windows 0.1.7 · 147 MB. Unsigned for now, so Windows SmartScreen shows a warning → More info → Run anyway. On macOS / Linux, use the command-line install below.
# Linux / macOS curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/millw14/merrymen/main/install.sh | bash # Windows (PowerShell) irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/millw14/merrymen/main/install.ps1 | iex # already have Node 22.12+ ? (any OS) npm install -g merrymen && merrymen start
Runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows — one Node package, no Docker, no clone. The installers set up Node for you; with Node 22.12+ already, npm i -g merrymen works anywhere. Your band starts in paper mode (live prices, simulated fills, zero funds), so you can watch it trade in a couple of minutes. Upgrade any time with merrymen update.
One command installs merrymen and opens your dashboard. No accounts, nothing to connect.
Pick a spending-limit preset and go. Your agent starts trading at real live prices with pretend money, so you watch it work before risking a cent.
When you're ready, paste one free key and the same agent trades for real — inside the exact same limits. Steer it from Telegram if you like.
/newbot → copy the token/link <code> — you're the owner— an early code reviewer, unprompted, after reading the source
Riding with the band? Tell us what broke and what sang — the beta group on Telegram, @MerrymenAI, or a GitHub issue. Real words from real riders end up here.
Free, open source, and yours. Install it, name your merryman, loose the first arrow.
The beta group is open — early builds, rough edges, and a direct line to whoever broke it. It's a room with other riders in it, so keep your bot token, grant link and private key out of it. Nobody there ever needs them.
