Minds Investment Programme backs early-stage teams building agentic products with Minds as core product layer‍

‍Animoca Brands, a global digital assets leader building and investing in impactful technologies and ecosystems to reimagine future economies through AI and the agentic web, today announced a US$1 million co-investment in Superior.Trade, a protocol layer for agentic trading teams that is building on Minds by Animoca Brands (“Minds”). The co-investment was made by Animoca Brands, under the recently launched Minds Investment Programme, and its affiliates.

Launched on 5 May 2026, the Minds Investment Programme commits up to US$10 million in investment capital to support teams building with Minds, Animoca Brands’ persistent AI agent platform that enables anyone to run sovereign, always-on agents without local servers or hardware.  

‍

Superior.Trade was one of the earliest teams to adopt Minds and reflects the type of builder and use case the Minds Investment Programme was designed to support. Deploying and maintaining a crypto trading strategy often requires manual monitoring or dependence on third‑party systems with limited flexibility and control. By integrating Minds, Superior.Trade is building a workflow in which a user can define trading parameters and allow an AI agent to assist with strategy development, backtesting against historical data, and live execution when defined conditions are met.

‍

Superior.Trade combines automation with user control that enables users to define parameters and objectives while agents execute within those precise limits. By using Superior.Trade’s trade-only agent wallets connected to Hyperliquid, Minds are able to segregate execution and custody, ensuring that Minds can execute trades but not withdraw user funds.

‍

Yat Siu, co-founder and executive chairman of Animoca Brands, said: “The agentic economy will not be defined by raw intelligence alone, but by whether AI agents can operate within systems that preserve user control, transparency, and security. As the first recipient of investment under our up to US$10 million Minds Investment Programme, Superior.Trade demonstrates how persistent, permissioned agents can translate user intent into real on-chain execution. By making complex platforms like Hyperliquid accessible without sacrificing safety, this model of constrained, user-aligned autonomy is what we believe will unlock scalable, real-world adoption of agentic systems.”

‍

Mohamed Ezeldin, head of Animoca Labs, the innovation team within Animoca Brands that is developing Minds, said: “Our goal is to back the best builders who are already leaning into the agentic future and building with Minds. Superior.Trade stood out by using Minds to automate a challenging process, and then making it accessible to consumers. We are therefore very excited to welcome Superior.Trade as the first recipient of investment under the Minds Investment Programme.”

‍

Jason Kwok, co-founder and CEO of Superior.Trade, said: “We are extremely excited and honoured with this investment by Animoca Brands. Superior.Trade is building the intelligence infrastructure for autonomous capital. Minds by Animoca Brands is highly aligned with this direction: sovereign, always-on agents that remain customizable and under the user’s control. This investment marks an important step in accelerating deployment and use of Superior.Trade’s agentic trading infrastructure and bringing autonomous financial intelligence to a broader global market, and we hope to greatly improve the financial autonomy of all Minds through the use of our skills and platform."

‍

The Minds Investment Programme is open to early-stage teams that demonstrate a clear product thesis, strong execution capability, and a practical path to building deployable products and scalable businesses with Minds as a core product layer. Apply at build.hellominds.ai/program.
