Project Description

Aura is the first voice-native portfolio manager built specifically for the Sui blockchain. Instead of navigating complex dashboards or manually signing distinct transactions, users can simply speak their intent—"Long SUI with 5x leverage" or "Rebalance my portfolio to 60% SUI"—and Aura executes the strategy in real-time.

Aura is designed for privacy and speed. By running entirely on local GPUs, it ensures that your financial strategies and voice data never leave your hardware. It lowers the barrier to entry for DeFi by turning complex trading operations into a simple conversation. Whether you are building a long-term portfolio or executing a quick swap, Aura acts as your sovereign, AI-powered hedge fund manager that lives on your desktop and settles on-chain.

How it's Made

We built Aura by orchestrating a low-latency, local AI pipeline that connects directly to the Sui network.

The AI Stack:

Brain: We are running a GPT-OSS-20B model locally. We fine-tuned the system prompt to understand DeFi terminology and output structured JSON transaction intents rather than just chat.

Voice: For the voice interface, we used XTTS Streaming. This allows us to generate high-quality, realistic voice responses with sub-second latency, making the conversation feel natural and interruptible.

The Blockchain Integration:

pySui: The core of our Python backend uses pySui to handle all interactions with the Sui blockchain. It serves as the bridge that converts our LLM's JSON intents into actual on-chain commands, managing the RPC communication and wallet signing securely on the local machine.

Dipcoin SDK: To enable advanced trading strategies beyond simple swaps, we integrated the Dipcoin SDK. This allows Aura to execute perpetual trades and manage leverage directly on the Dipcoin protocol. When a user requests a levered position, Aura utilizes the Dipcoin SDK to construct the correct liquidation and margin parameters instantly.
