Why launch trading?
Canopy focuses on discovery, understandable trade costs and exits. Customers choose trades; the product helps them execute and track those decisions.
The opportunity
A trading product can charge for useful execution without needing to prove an investment strategy outperforms. The LP-vault concept still requires evidence of fee entitlement, net returns and reliable redemptions.
Our snapshot found zero core fees in all 90 checked pons v2 launches. Trading charges elsewhere in the protocol are not automatically income for outside LPs. LP research
Earn the right to charge
The proposed business model is a transparent execution fee. The demo uses 0.5%; live pricing is undecided. Validate repeat use, execution quality and contribution margin after operating costs before scaling.
Competition already exists. Canopy must improve the workflow rather than rely on being another bot: exact token identity, complete fee disclosure, lifecycle-aware routing and useful exits.
Product boundaries
The current web app supports real data reads and paper trades. Real execution and Telegram integration are later stages. The LP deposit concept remains available separately from the trading product.
