# Overview

Trade. Earn. Own. Repeat. The future of AI trading is here.

## Overview

### Welcome to Taco

**The trusted AI operating system for trading.**

Taco gives users a simple, secure way to let AI agents trade, earn, and predict — without managing AI models, skills, APIs, or running risky agents on their own devices.

We believe the future where crypto is the default execution space for AI agents has already arrived. Users now need an operating system they can trust to safely run anything: trading, predictions, automation, and research.

Taco is built for the next phase of **agentic finance** — where AI does more than answer questions. It acts.

#### How Taco Works

Taco separates **intelligence, memory, and execution** into a single coherent system:

* **A shared AI layer** handles reasoning, workflows, and integrations across every module
* **Durable sessions** preserve your context and task history so AI stays coherent across uses
* **On-demand secure sandboxes** run every action with protected credentials, so agents never compromise your assets
* **High-performance execution** — trading runs on **Lighter**, a zk-powered exchange layer with deep liquidity and low-latency matching
* **Self-custody preserved** — Taco never holds your keys

The result: AI agents in crypto that are easier to use, safer to trust, and ready to scale.
