Introducing Argus ⚡ Get paid to trade on
@strikeperps
Most traders click “market” and pay a 0.05% taker fee on every trade. Limit orders are cheaper, but nobody wants to babysit them.
Argus babysits them for you.
How it works
Strike publishes its L3 order book: every resting order, in queue order. Argus rebuilds it live, so it knows how much size is ahead of you and how fast the line moves.
The engine
• Post-only orders: you never pay taker by accident
• Joins the best bid, or jumps it by a tick when the queue is slow
• Moves when outbid, never past your limit
• Deadline safety net: finish with a market order, or cancel
Honest reports
Every run shows average price, maker share, fees, and savings or losses against a market order at the start. Every fill gets fairness checks against Strike’s public trade tape.
Built deep on Strike
• Builder Connect: one signature from Phantom or Lace gives Argus a trade-only key that can never withdraw
• Builder Codes: a 2 bps fee on every order, charged by Strike on each fill
• In-app deposits and withdrawals
Tested on testnet

Built for the Strike Hackathon.
Most traders on
@strikeperps pay to trade.
Not because they have to, but because the cheaper way takes too much effort.
I’ve spent the last 30 hours fixing that for the Strike Hackathon.
Strike does something most exchanges don’t: it publishes its L3 order book. Every order, in queue order.
That means you can see exactly where you are in line, and how fast the line is moving.
I built something that uses this on your behalf.
No more guessing where to place your order.
No more watching it all day.
No more paying fees you didn’t need to.
