  • • Users can connect a wallet, execute trading strategies, and purchase data feeds on demand through x402 APIs.
  • • The source provides no fund size, performance figures, or fund-level financial terms for the strategy.

Summary
Base, the Ethereum layer-2 network, now supports full deployment of an AI-driven hedge fund, according to Jesse Pollak. The open-source build was created by Virat Singh and is designed to let users connect a crypto wallet, execute investment strategies, and purchase data feeds via x402 APIs on demand. The x402 protocol enables pay-per-request access to APIs, so the fund's data inputs are paid for as they are consumed rather than through a fixed subscription.

The primary source does not disclose assets under management, capital commitments, fund structure, strategy specifics, or performance history. Its coverage is limited to the deployment announcement and the functional description of the software, so institutional allocators should treat this as a technology and infrastructure development rather than a investable product with verifiable track record.

The article also includes a technical analysis of ether (ETH). As of the report, ETH traded at $2,423.18 on the 4-hour chart, with the 50-period EMA at $2,303.58 and the 200-period EMA at $2,423.81. Price was testing upper Bollinger Band resistance at $2,390.69, the 14-period RSI stood at 73.07 (overbought), and MACD showed a bullish crossover. The author suggests a retracement toward the $2,303.58 support is probable before further movement toward lower band support at $2,192.18. These are the author's technical observations and do not constitute a forecast attributable to any fund.
