# Duon Labs > Capital That Thinks for Itself. An autonomous AI research company, on-chain, for markets. Duon Labs is a Delaware corporation founded in 2025. We build an autonomous AI research company for financial markets: Voyons (our probability layer) generates calibrated scenario distributions via API, vaults like HEP (Hyperliquid) and ARC (MegaETH) deploy capital on-chain using that intelligence, and the full machinery runs publicly at live.duonlabs.com. Compute is the workforce. ## Product surfaces - **Voyons** (the probability layer): a learned market simulator that generates calibrated scenario distributions, regime metrics, and stress maps. REST API, Python SDK, and x402 pay-per-request for autonomous agents. - **Flywheel** (the autonomous research loop): public dashboard at live.duonlabs.com surfacing the live narrator, training, arena rankings, and kanban pipeline. Manages on-chain vaults, ranks champions, ships releases. - **Permissionless Capital** (vaults + networks): HEP on Hyperliquid (live since September 2025), ARC on MegaETH (Genesis launched April 26, 2026), and Synth, Voyons simulations on Bittensor, scored on-chain daily. Each deployment is sponsored by Duon Labs and operates autonomously on third-party infrastructure. Non-custodial, verifiable on-chain. ## What is Voyons? Voyons is a specialized deep learning system for financial markets. It learns market dynamics directly from raw data without predefined assumptions. Given market inputs, it generates thousands of plausible future price paths (scenario distributions) with calibrated probabilities. The output is a probability surface covering regime dynamics, tail risks, and directional confidence. ## What is Duon Labs? Duon Labs Inc is the Delaware research corporation that builds and holds the IP. It employs the team and runs the research infrastructure. Vaults are sponsored by Duon Labs but operate autonomously on third-party chains; Duon Labs does not custody capital or operate the vaults directly. ## Key Facts - 1M+ users via CoinStats integration (founding partner) - ~1M monthly Voyons API requests - 14M+ scenarios served in the last 30 days (Voyons production) - 24 supported crypto assets including BTC, ETH, SOL, BNB, XRP, ADA, DOGE - Monthly model releases with Glicko-2 head-to-head evaluation (Arena) - HEP research vault live on Hyperliquid since September 2025, sponsored by Duon Labs, non-custodial - ARC Genesis launched on MegaETH mainnet on April 26, 2026 via Backed's Agent Raise infrastructure (ERC-8004 identity, ERC-4626 vault token) - Synth: Voyons simulations on the Bittensor Synth subnet, validator-scored on-chain daily - HEP backtest (Feb-Aug 2025, out-of-sample): +29.3% return, 3.54 Sharpe ratio, -5.0% max drawdown ## Payment All paid endpoints support the x402 payment protocol (HTTP 402, v1). No API key required for agents. Facilitator: Meridian (mrdn.finance). Supported networks: - Base (chain 8453): USDC, 6 decimals. Native EIP-3009, no approval needed. - MegaETH (chain 4326): USDm, 18 decimals. Uses EIP-3009 forwarder. One-time ERC-20 approval of the forwarder contract required before first payment. Flow: request a resource, receive 402 with per-network pricing, pick a network, sign payment, retry with `Payment-Signature` header, receive data + settlement proof. Append `?quote=true` to any paid endpoint to get the price per network (no auth required). Authenticated users with an API token can also pay via pre-purchased credits. ## API Base `https://api.duonlabs.com/v1/` ## Endpoints ### Scenario Generation (paid) `POST /v1/scenarios/generation/` Generate scenario distributions for any supported asset. Returns thousands of simulated price paths. Cost depends on model, number of scenarios, and time steps. Parameters: `model` (string), `n_scenarios` (int), `n_steps` (int), `inputs` (object with `asset`, `timeframe`, etc.) ### Metrics (paid) Pre-computed intelligence derived from Voyons scenario distributions, updated every 8 hours. - `GET /v1/metrics/latest/`: Latest metric per (pair, frequency). All fields returned by default. Filter by `pair`, `frequency`. Add `?include=trend_metrics` to include per-step trend data. `model_handle` defaults to `best`. - `GET /v1/metrics/timeseries/`: Historical time series (max 1000 rows). Requires `fields` (numeric metrics only), `pair`, and `frequency`. `model_handle` defaults to `best`. ### Metrics (free) - `GET /v1/metrics/summary/`: Available assets, buckets, and metric fields (metadata only) - `GET /v1/metrics/sample/`: Sample of recent metrics (no auth required) ### Models - `GET /v1/inference/models/`: Browse available models and access levels - `GET /v1/inference/routes/`: Named routing handles that map to models ### Usage - `GET /v1/usage/`: Credit usage history (authenticated) - `GET /v1/usage/by_month/`: Monthly usage aggregates (authenticated) ### Users - `GET /v1/users/me/`: Current user profile and balance (authenticated) ## Authentication - **x402**: `Payment-Signature` header with signed stablecoin payment (no account needed) - **Token**: `Authorization: Token ` header (get a key at https://platform.duonlabs.com) ## Supported Assets 24 major pairs including BTC, ETH, SOL, BNB, XRP, ADA, DOGE, DOT, LINK, LTC, AVAX, SUI, and others. Use `/v1/metrics/summary/` for the full current list. ## Frequently Asked Questions **How is Voyons different from an LLM applied to markets?** LLMs are language models optimized for text. Markets are numerical, temporal, and non-stationary. Voyons is built from scratch for time-series data: it learns from raw market data, outputs calibrated probability distributions, and does not hallucinate numbers. **What is x402?** x402 is an open HTTP payment standard backed by Coinbase. It lets autonomous agents pay for API calls with stablecoins (USDC on Base, USDm on MegaETH) without needing an account or API key. Duon Labs is an early probabilistic market data provider on the x402 ecosystem. **What is extropy?** Extropy is an information-theoretic metric used to evaluate simulation quality. It measures how much predictive information a model captures compared to a baseline. Higher extropy means the model's probability distributions are better calibrated to actual market outcomes. **What asset classes does Voyons support?** Currently 24 major crypto pairs. The architecture is asset-class agnostic, and expansion to commodities (metals, energy, agriculture) is in progress. ## Documentation - [OpenAPI Schema](https://api.duonlabs.com/api/schema/): Machine-readable API specification - [API Docs](https://api.duonlabs.com/api/redoc/): Interactive documentation (ReDoc) - [Python SDK](https://github.com/duonlabs/duonlabs): Official client library - [Playground](https://playground.duonlabs.com): Interactive sandbox with x402 payment testing - [Platform](https://platform.duonlabs.com): API key management and usage dashboard ## Website - [Homepage](https://www.duonlabs.com): Company overview - [Voyons](https://www.duonlabs.com/voyons): Probability layer capabilities - [x402](https://www.duonlabs.com/x402): Agent payment integration - [Intel](https://www.duonlabs.com/hyperextropy): Live probabilistic market intelligence - [Benchmarks](https://www.duonlabs.com/arena): Model performance leaderboard - [ARC](https://www.duonlabs.com/arc): Autonomous Research Capital, an agent that pays for intelligence via x402 and allocates capital on MegaETH - [Research](https://www.duonlabs.com/research): Open-source research ## Topics and definitions - [Audit-grade AI for finance](https://www.duonlabs.com/topics/audit-grade-ai/): Audit-grade AI is decision-grade AI whose inputs, outputs, and executions can be verified by a third party without trusting the operator. - [The autonomous research loop](https://www.duonlabs.com/topics/autonomous-research-loop/): An AI system where capital buys compute, compute trains models, and returns from deployed vaults fund more compute.
