Quant developer
Write, backtest, go live — develop online in Labs, or build locally on your own and connect through the open API.
Your path
1
Pick how you build
Labs online workbench: nothing to install, write and backtest in the browser. Or build locally: pip install nova-strategy-sdk (MIT) — your editor, your repo.
2
Backtest
Both routes share the same deterministic engine: real Hyperliquid / Polymarket / on-chain history + walk-forward validation.
3
Go live
Publish as a trading program: platform-hosted, or download the runner and self-host — orders reach the platform executor through the open API.
Requirements & cost — Development and backtesting are free and need no wallet; the operator path only starts when you bind a pool to go live.
Note — The open API used for self-built / self-hosted programs is exactly the same one AI agents use — same endpoints, same permission model.
