El Dorado Platform: the Self-Custody Crypto Markets Terminal.
A local-first crypto trading terminal built in Rust. Bring your own AI. A multi-agent system handles whale tracking, token research, and rug-pull detection. Control it from anywhere over Telegram. Your keys, your data, your AI.
Built in Rust · Local-first · Telegram-controllable · BYO AI
Cloud terminals see your trades. Subscription bots see your wallet.
Most crypto trading software is a SaaS dashboard that watches what you do and a subscription bot that holds your API keys. Convenient. Also a data product whose customers are not you.
El Dorado is the other model. The terminal runs on your machine. The AI provider you choose runs in your account. The on-chain queries fly out of your network. localfile.studio is the vendor of the binary, not the operator of your trading floor.
What you get for signing up.
In development. Signup gets you the launch day announcement and a price-locked early-bird slot if we offer one.
02
Multi-agent system
Research, alerting, scam-check, and trade-prep agents collaborate on every request. You ask one question; the agents fan out and report back with the answer plus the evidence trail.
03
Whale tracking on demand
Ask in plain English: "what did whales buy in the last 8 hours," "show me wallets that opened large positions on this token today." The terminal pulls on-chain data and the agents summarize it.
04
Token research and rug-pull detection
Paste a contract address. Get liquidity, holder distribution, mint authority status, top-10 concentration, recent transfer patterns, and a plain-English risk assessment from the scam-check agent.
05
Telegram-controllable
The terminal runs in the background on your machine. Talk to it from your phone via Telegram. "Watch this token for a 2% move." "Alert me if my watchlist hits a 24-hour high." Never miss a trade because you stepped away from the desk.
06
Built in Rust
Compiled binary. No garbage collector pauses. Memory-safe by default. The terminal stays responsive when on-chain queries fan out and AI agents are reasoning in parallel.
How El Dorado stacks up.
vs. cloud terminals (CryptOn, HyperData, TradingView)
Cloud terminals are faster to start and easier to share. They also stream your view of the market to a vendor server. El Dorado runs on your machine and keeps your queries local. The tradeoff: less convenience, more sovereignty.
vs. subscription bots (3Commas, Cryptohopper)
Subscription bots ask for exchange API keys and execute trades on your behalf. El Dorado does not hold custody and does not sign transactions. It surfaces information; your wallet stays your wallet.
vs. one-off Telegram bots
Telegram bots are one interface. El Dorado is a desktop terminal with Telegram bridged in. You get the dashboard at home and the conversational interface on the go, without picking between them.
vs. paper research and screenshot threads
A multi-agent system that researches tokens, watches whales, and flags rug-pull markers is faster than reading ten Twitter threads. The agents cite their sources; you keep the final call.
Built in Rust, for speed and memory safety.
Compiled binary. No garbage collector pauses while the agents are working. No null-pointer crashes in the middle of a whale-watch fan-out. The terminal stays responsive when on-chain queries hit a dozen RPC providers in parallel and three AI agents are reasoning at the same time.
Rust is the unsexy infrastructure choice. We picked it because the product needs to be the kind of thing you trust to run for weeks in the background.
A team of agents instead of one chatbot.
A single chatbot trying to do whale tracking, token research, scam detection, and trade prep is a chatbot that does none of them well. El Dorado runs a small team of specialized agents who collaborate on each request and report back together.
Ask “research this token for liquidity and any potential scams.” The research agent pulls on-chain data. The scam-check agent runs the rug-pull heuristics. The trade-prep agent looks at recent flow and sizing. You get one structured answer with the evidence trail attached.
Talk to your terminal from anywhere.
El Dorado runs in the background on your desktop. You bring your own Telegram bot token, and the terminal pairs with it. Ask the bot “tell me what tokens whales bought in the last 8 hours” from the train. Get an alert on your phone when your watchlist token hits a 24-hour high. Tell it to pause alerting for two hours when you go to dinner.
Telegram is the transport. The terminal is the thing doing the work. No third-party server in between.
Your keys, your machine.
El Dorado does not hold custody. It does not sign trades. It does not upload your watchlists, your queries, or your AI prompts to localfile.studio. The product is a binary you install and a SQLite database that lives on your machine.
Telemetry is opt-in and off by default. There is no “account” to forget the password to. If localfile.studio disappears, your terminal keeps working with whatever providers you have configured.

Pricing announced at launch.
El Dorado is in active development. We are calibrating pricing against AI provider costs, data costs, and the value the agent system delivers. Drop your email and we will tell you the day the price is final.
Frequently asked questions.
When does El Dorado ship?
+
In development. Sign up with your email and we will tell you the day it goes on sale. No newsletter, no progress drip emails, no spam.
Why Rust?
+
Compiled binary, no garbage collector pauses, memory-safe by default. The terminal needs to stay responsive while it fans out on-chain queries and runs AI agents in parallel. Rust holds up under that load without surprises.
How does bring-your-own AI work?
+
El Dorado does not include AI compute. You provide an API key (OpenAI, Anthropic, Codex subscription, or a local Ollama endpoint). The terminal calls the provider you chose; you pay them directly. No keys, no prompts, and no responses pass through localfile.studio.
Which chains and exchanges are supported on launch?
+
TBD. The architecture is chain-agnostic. We will publish the launch-day list before pricing goes live so you can verify the coverage matches your portfolio.
Does it hold my keys or sign transactions?
+
No. El Dorado is a research and alerting terminal. It reads on-chain data, talks to your AI provider, and sends Telegram messages. It does not hold custody and it does not sign trades. Execution stays in your existing wallet or exchange.
How does the Telegram integration work?
+
You provide your own Telegram bot token; the terminal talks to it. One-way alerts ("watchlist token hit a 24-hour high") and two-way commands ("research this contract") both work. The bot lives on your machine; Telegram is just the transport.
Where does my data live?
+
A local SQLite database on your machine. Watchlists, alert rules, agent conversation history, and cached on-chain queries. Export anytime. The terminal does not phone home.
Is this an investment advisor?
+
No. The agents surface information and structure it; the trading calls are yours. The scam-check agent will flag risk markers; it will not tell you to buy or sell.
How much will it cost?
+
Pricing is announced at launch. We are still calibrating against AI provider costs, exchange data costs, and the value the agent system delivers. Sign up and you find out before anyone else does.
Will there be a free trial?
+
TBD. The localfile.studio pattern is one-time pricing with a refund window. We may keep that, may switch to a metered model if AI costs require it. The signup page will be updated when the model is locked.
What if I do not have a Telegram account?
+
Telegram is optional. The terminal runs locally as a desktop app with its own UI; the Telegram bridge is for users who want remote control. You can ignore it entirely.
How is this different from CryptOn or HyperData?
+
Cloud terminals stream their view of your trades to a vendor server. El Dorado runs on your machine. The AI calls go through your account. The on-chain queries originate from your network. If the localfile.studio website disappears, your terminal keeps working with whatever data sources you have configured. That is the tradeoff: less convenience, more sovereignty.
