Set it. Forget it. Let it run.

Capture the spreads
the market gives away.
Automatically.

machine is software that exploits structural inefficiencies in cryptocurrency markets — bid-ask spreads, cross-pair pricing loops, and inter-exchange price dislocations — 24 hours a day, with no ongoing effort from you after initial setup.

One-time license. Configure once. Your server, your exchange accounts, your capital — running continuously.

Why it works

Inefficiencies are structural.
machine harvests them.

Crypto markets are fragmented across dozens of venues, thinly quoted on mid-cap pairs, and open 24/7 without circuit breakers. This creates persistent bid-ask spreads, cross-pair mispricings, and inter-exchange price dislocations that a properly configured system can capture continuously — without making a single directional bet on whether prices go up or down.

01

Market Making — Earn the Spread

Every asset has a bid-ask spread: the gap between what buyers will pay and what sellers will accept. machine posts simultaneous buy and sell limit orders on both sides of this spread, earning the difference each time both sides fill. This is the same role institutional market makers play — providing liquidity in exchange for a small, consistent edge on every round-trip. On mid-cap pairs like SOL/USDC where order books are thinner, these spreads are wider and more frequent. Exchange maker rebates stack on top.

Your benefit: steady, recurring income without predicting price direction
02

Triangular Arbitrage — Capture Pricing Loops

On any exchange, the prices of interconnected pairs should stay mathematically consistent. If you convert USDC → BTC → ETH → USDC, the result should be exactly 1.000. In practice, it often isn't — fleeting mispricings emerge as order flow hits different pairs at different times. machine monitors these cross-rate relationships continuously and executes all three legs of the cycle in rapid succession when the loop yields a net positive after fees. This is a pure arbitrage: no inventory is held and no market view is required.

Your benefit: risk-limited profit from mathematical mispricings
03

Cross-Exchange Arbitrage — Exploit Price Dislocations

The same asset often trades at slightly different prices across exchanges. BTC on Coinbase and BTC on Kraken should be identical, but latency, regional demand, and liquidity fragmentation create momentary price dislocations. machine watches both venues simultaneously and, when the spread exceeds the combined fee threshold, buys on the cheaper exchange and sells on the more expensive one in parallel. No net market exposure. The only requirement is pre-positioned capital on both exchanges.

Your benefit: capture inter-venue inefficiencies the market naturally creates
Strategy detail

Three edges. Zero directional bets.

None of these strategies require you to predict whether crypto goes up or down. Each one captures a different type of structural inefficiency that exists because markets are fragmented, asynchronous, and always open. Configure once — machine handles execution around the clock.

Market Making

You become the liquidity provider. machine continuously quotes buy and sell limit orders on both sides of the bid-ask spread on mid-cap pairs where competition from institutional desks is thinner. Every time both sides fill, you capture the spread — the small price gap between the bid and the ask that exists on every traded asset. Coinbase also pays maker rebates on each fill, adding a second layer of income on top of the spread itself. This is the workhorse strategy: consistent, high-frequency, and non-directional.

Triangular Arbitrage

When three interconnected trading pairs on the same exchange fall out of mathematical alignment, a riskless profit opportunity briefly appears. For example: if USDC → BTC → ETH → USDC yields more than 1.000 after fees, the difference is pure profit. These mispricings are caused by order flow hitting different pairs at different moments and typically last fractions of a second. machine monitors these cross-rate relationships continuously and executes all three legs in rapid succession when the cycle is net-positive. No inventory is held between cycles — you start and end in USDC.

Cross-Exchange Arbitrage

The same asset should theoretically trade at the same price everywhere, but it doesn't. Latency, regional order flow, and liquidity depth differences create persistent price dislocations between exchanges — BTC on Coinbase might trade $5–$50 higher than on Kraken at any given moment. machine watches both order books simultaneously and, when the spread exceeds combined trading fees, executes a simultaneous buy on the cheaper venue and sell on the more expensive one. No net market exposure. You aren't betting on BTC going up or down — you're capturing the price gap between two venues.

FAQ

Common questions.

Everything you need to know before getting started.

What is machine exactly?
machine is set-and-forget trading software that captures structural inefficiencies in cryptocurrency markets — bid-ask spreads, cross-pair mispricings, and inter-exchange price dislocations — automatically, 24/7, on your own server. It is not a fund, platform, or managed service. You buy a license, install it on your VPS, connect your own exchange API keys, and it runs three non-directional strategies continuously without requiring daily decisions or active management from you.
Do you have access to my money?
No. Your capital sits in your own exchange accounts (Coinbase, Kraken). Your API keys are stored only on your server. machine never transmits your keys, balances, or trading data to our servers. The only communication is license validation.
How much capital do I need?
machine is configurable from $1,000 to $1,000,000+. Most users deploy $10,000 or more to see meaningful results from all three strategies. Use the cash flow model above to see modeled outcomes at any capital level.
What are the risks?
These strategies are non-directional — they don't bet on prices going up or down — but they are not risk-free. Market making carries inventory risk: you may briefly hold a position if one side of your order fills and the other doesn't. Triangular arbitrage carries leg slip risk: later legs in a three-trade cycle may execute at worse prices than expected. Cross-exchange arbitrage carries execution risk: the price gap may close between the time you send the order and it fills. You can still lose capital. See our full Risk Disclosure for details.
What server do I need?
Any Ubuntu 22.04 VPS with 1 vCPU and 1GB RAM. A $6/month droplet on DigitalOcean is sufficient. machine runs as a Docker container and includes everything needed. No manual configuration of dependencies.
Is Kraken required?
No. If you don't provide Kraken API keys, the cross-exchange strategy is disabled and capital automatically redistributes to 60% market making and 40% triangular arbitrage. You can add Kraken later at any time.
What happens if I cancel updates?
Your software keeps running indefinitely. You own the version you have. You just stop receiving new versions and new strategies. You can re-subscribe at any time to get the latest version.
Can I run multiple installations?
Each license key activates one installation. If you want to run machine on multiple servers, you'll need additional licenses. Contact support for volume pricing.
Are returns guaranteed?
No. machine is software, not an investment product. All figures in the cash flow model are modeled illustrations, not guarantees. Trading involves substantial risk of loss. Past performance does not guarantee future results. You are solely responsible for your trading decisions.
How do I get support?
License + Updates customers get priority email support at [email protected]. All customers have access to the community Discord. Documentation is available at docs.getmachine.io.
