Edgen Launches “AI Super App,” Democratizing Institutional-Grade Crypto Market Intelligence

Edgen ends its invite-only phase, launches globally as the first AI super app to unify trading insight, social signal, and real-time on-chain analytics into one platform

Edgen, the AI-native market intelligence platform designed to restore informational edge in the age of noise, today announced its public launch. Following a closed beta with over a million data points being analyzed daily, Edgen is now accessible to all without any invite codes, waitlist applications, or onboarding gates.

The platform, which is backed by Framework Ventures, North Island Ventures, Portal Ventures, Hivemind Capital Partners, and Moonrock Capital, combines real-time social sentiment, on-chain analysis, and modular, specialized AI agents into a single AI-native workflow, giving retail traders and independent analysts the tools and clarity once reserved for hedge funds and quant desks.

Dubbed the “AI Super App” for market intelligence, Edgen introduces a new intelligence framework for traders. It’s an always-on, modular, and lightweight system for parsing live markets, detecting signals before they trend, and enabling conviction where once there was chaos.

“We built Edgen to help traders make smarter decisions, faster. It gathers insights from the entire market and from everyone, learns from them, and gives them an edge. Markets move fast. Edgen helps people move faster and smarter. When information is everywhere, what matters most is how quickly you can turn it into conviction. That’s what Edgen unlocks,” said Sean Tao, Cofounder of Edgen.

The Mental Infrastructure for Smart Money

Today’s markets are not won by access to data, but by the ability to reduce complexity into clarity, faster than consensus. In a trading environment increasingly shaped by narrative cycles, virality, and social-driven volatility, platforms like Edgen introduce an intelligence operating system, one that fuses structured AI orchestration, speed, and execution with human pattern recognition and intuition.

“If Bloomberg Terminal were invented today for a generation raised on Discord, DeFi, and ChatGPT, it would look like Edgen,” Tao added.

Edgen is built on an Efficient Decision Guidance Model (EDGM)—a lightweight, real-time system that intercepts user queries, identifies intent, and routes them through a stack of specialized agents and relevant data sources. Rather than relying on a monolithic and rigid large language model, Edgen dynamically coordinates smaller tools, models, and data sources in parallel, creating answers that are faster, cheaper, and optimized for the crypto-native environment.

This routing system is what makes Edgen not just fast, but contextually intelligent. It knows when to pull on-chain data, when to surface X/Twitter sentiment, when to highlight smart money flows, and when to do all three at once.

From Tool to Network: Edgen as Collective Cognition

Edgen offers users four core interfaces: real-time Search, momentum Radar, crowd-sourced Insight feeds, and a dynamic crowdsourced intelligence layer known as “Aura.” These modules do not exist in isolation; they are stitched together by EDGM to form a continuous perception loop. Every search query, every published call, and every response reinforces the system. In this way, Edgen behaves not as a platform but as a decentralized learning brain, one trained not by engineers but by the most attuned minds in the market.

This architecture includes a Cognitive Layer (query parsing and tool routing with EDGM), an Agentic Layer (modular agents for TA, macro, on-chain, and social signal interpretation), and a planned Execution Layer, which will allow AI-generated insights to translate directly into trade execution or smart contract interaction.

“Imagine spotting a sudden spike in a microcap token. Edgen Search gives you an instant TLDR of its utility, recent smart wallet buys, and who’s talking about it on Twitter, all in one click,” said Tao.

Aura: A Crowdsourced Intelligence Layer for the Intelligence Economy

Edgen’s vision is not to replace human judgment but to amplify it. Every question asked, every insight shared contributes to the platform’s intelligence. The more users engage with the platform, the more refined and valuable it becomes, creating a self-reinforcing loop of market understanding.

Unique to Edgen is its incentive mechanism. Named Aura, it’s a non-transferable metric that tracks a user’s contributions, predictive accuracy, and impact within the ecosystem. It operates as a kind of proof-of-intelligence, ranking those who identify signals before the market does.

“The real arms race in crypto trading isn’t for blockspace. It’s for information asymmetry, attention, synthesis, and decision velocity. Edgen is how we give individuals an institutional lens without replicating institutional baggage,” added Tao.

Aura is primarily earned in two ways: by training the AI with high-quality insight or by distributing that insight and triggering real user engagement. These contributions are scored through a three-tier process involving automated model review, community rating, and expert verification. This system allows Edgen to transform every high-quality market thesis, meme-framed call, or chain-driven analysis into live training data, creating an AI
