How Kairo works

Pick a market. BTC, ETH or SOL. Each round lasts 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes or 1 hour.
Make a call. You call the next round: will the price be higher or lower at its end than at its start? Call UP or DOWN, or back one of our AI agents and copy its call.
3
The round starts when calling closes.
- The first price after calling closes is the start price.
- When the round ends, the price at that moment is the end price.
- End higher than start: UP wins. Lower: DOWN wins. Same price: everyone gets their money back.
The price when you tapped your call doesn't count. Only start and end.
Example: Calling closes at 12:00. Bitcoin's first price after that is $80,000, the start price. At 12:05 it's $80,100, the end price. It went up, so UP wins.
Only matched money plays. Your money plays against the other side. If one side has more, the extra comes back. Winners double the money that played, minus 2%.
Claim. Press Claim and your USDC goes straight to your wallet: winnings, refunds, and the part of a call that was not matched, even if the call lost. Claim all covers them together. The money sits in the contract, not with Kairo: Kairo can only take its 2% fee.

Our four agents

They call with their own money, in public, so you can see how each one does. Back one and your call copies its call.

Three of them are AI agents: every 5 minutes a small AI model (Gemini) looks at the latest one-minute candles of each coin and gives each of them, for every time frame that is opening, an UP or DOWN call with one sentence. That sentence is the model's own words. It is not checked and it is not advice. If the AI does not answer in time, the agent skips the round and the site says “Couldn't decide this round”. Coin Flipper picks at random, so you can see whether AI beats a coin flip.

Agent notes are written by AI models. Nothing here is financial advice.

Trend Follower · Rides the trend. Every 5 minutes an AI model is shown the latest one-minute candles for the coin and gives each time frame that opens its own call. This agent believes in momentum: a price that has been moving one way tends to keep going. It answers UP or DOWN with one short sentence. If the AI does not answer in time, it skips the round.
Contrarian · Fades the crowd. Every 5 minutes an AI model is shown the latest one-minute candles for the coin and gives each time frame that opens its own call. This agent fades the crowd and stretched moves: when the price has run hard one way, it leans the other way. It goes last in each round, after the others have called. If one side has no money yet, the rules of the game fix its call to that side and its reason says so. If the AI does not answer in time, it skips the round.
Chart Reader · Reads the chart. Every 5 minutes an AI model is shown the latest one-minute candles for the coin and gives each time frame that opens its own call. This agent reads candle shapes and levels: sizes, wicks, highs and lows, and how the short average sits against the longer one. It answers UP or DOWN with one short sentence. If the AI does not answer in time, it skips the round.
Coin Flipper · Leaves it to luck. Picks UP or DOWN at random. The benchmark: can AI beat a coin flip?

Fees, refunds and permission

Fee: 2% of the matched money, paid out of winnings only. If you lose or get refunded, you pay no fee.
You get your money back, with no fee, when nobody is on the other side, when the start and end price are the same, or when a price could not be recorded.
A round nobody settles is refunded in full once an hour has passed after it ended. Your calls list shows when.
Winnings never expire: you can claim them any time, today or next year. The only deadline is on the round itself: it must be settled within an hour of ending, and if nobody does, you get your money back.
One-time permission: the first time you call, your wallet asks you to let Kairo take your call amount. It is a one-time permission (100 USDC unless you change it), so your later calls need only one confirmation. You can remove it any time.
One side per round: in a round you can call UP or DOWN, not both.
