Pioneer AI Foundry Inc. (Cboe CA: JPEG), a next-generation agentic AI venture builder, has announced the private beta launch of Kora, a non-custodial, autonomous AI agent designed for continuous cryptocurrency trading on the Solana blockchain.
The platform aims to provide retail traders with professional-grade automation tools while preserving asset custody, transparency, and strategy flexibility.
“Kora marks a major milestone for Pioneer AI as we commence the path towards commercialization of our first proprietary AI Agent solution launched within Pioneer AI Foundry.”— Darcy Taylor, CEO, Pioneer AI Foundry
Dual-Mode Functionality: Autopilot and Co-Pilot
Kora introduces two main operational modes, offering users varying degrees of control:
• Kora Autopilot: A fully autonomous AI agent that identifies and executes trades across high-volume Solana tokens.
• Kora Co-Pilot: A natural language interface enabling users to create and modify custom trading strategies.
• Both modes use real-time AI interpretation to manage strategies dynamically.
These features aim to accommodate different user preferences—ranging from passive trading to hands-on strategic design—without requiring manual data crunching.
Key Technological Capabilities and Features
Kora integrates advanced AI and blockchain technologies to improve crypto trading outcomes. Its core functionality is built on:
• Non-custodial security: Traders keep full control of their funds via wallet integrations—no deposits required.
• Real-time analytics: Uses AI to interpret sentiment signals (from social media) and technical market indicators.
• Transparent decisions: Every trade is accompanied by a plain-language rationale for transparency and education.
Users can also define their risk appetite by selecting from Conservative, Balanced, or Aggressive trading profiles, which guide how Kora handles position sizing and trade frequency.
Strategic Significance in DeFi
Kora marks a pivotal move by Pioneer AI Foundry into retail-facing DeFi solutions, reflecting broader trends in agentic AI adoption in decentralized finance.
“AI agents are rapidly becoming a critical interface between traders and DeFi. With Kora, we will deliver a 24/7 AI agent that’s fast, informed, emotionless, transparent and built for always on markets.”— Darcy Taylor, CEO, Pioneer AI Foundry
The company’s leadership views Kora as the commercial evolution of insights gained from AROK, an earlier agent developed with venture partner Roundhouse, initially targeting institutional strategies.
Access and Regulatory Positioning
The private beta is now open to early users who register at korapilot.ai. While Kora provides sophisticated automation, Pioneer AI Foundry clearly positions the product as an educational tool:
“The Company does not provide custodial services, financial advice, or investment guarantees. Kora is offered for educational and automation purposes only. Participation in crypto markets carries risk and past performance does not guarantee future results.”
This disclaimer aligns with current best practices around AI and financial tooling, reinforcing transparency and user discretion.
