How It Works

A deep dive into Farmtardio's automation technology and architecture.

System Architecture

Farmtardio is built on a modern, scalable architecture designed for reliable automation:

Core Components

• Next.js Frontend - Server-side rendered React application for the dashboard and docs
• Prisma + PostgreSQL - Database layer for user data, runs, and execution history
• Worker Queue System - Background job processing for trade execution
• Exchange Connectors - Modular adapters for each exchange (Pacifica, Lighter)

Automation Engine

Session-Based Trading

Unlike traditional bots that run 24/7, Farmtardio uses session-based trading to mimic human behavior:

• 3 Sessions Per Day - Trading happens in discrete sessions, not continuously
• Random Timing - Session start times vary by ±30 minutes
• Variable Length - Sessions last 60-105 minutes depending on risk level
• Occasional Skips - Sometimes a session is skipped entirely to look natural

Trade Execution

Each trade follows a sophisticated execution pattern:

1. Market Selection - Rotate through approved pairs based on risk level
2. Position Sizing - Randomized within configured bounds (e.g., $20-$50)
3. Order Placement - Market or limit orders with natural-looking slippage
4. Risk Management - Automatic stop-loss and take-profit on every position
5. Exit Strategy - Close positions after 5-15 minutes or on stop/target hit

Budget Enforcement

Multiple layers ensure you never exceed your limits:

• Daily Volume Cap - Stops trading when daily notional limit is reached
• Position Size Limits - Each trade is capped at configured max size
• Leverage Limits - Maximum leverage enforced per risk level
• Balance Checks - Verify sufficient collateral before each trade

Human-Like Patterns

The automation includes several techniques to avoid detection:

Randomization

• Trade sizes vary randomly within bounds
• Time between trades is randomized (8-20 min depending on risk)
• Market rotation differs per wallet
• Session timing has ±30 minute jitter

Natural Behavior

• Not every trade is profitable (stop-losses hit naturally)
• Sometimes positions are held longer due to market conditions
• Occasional "mistakes" (slightly off entry/exit prices)
• Session breaks mimic meal times and sleep

Exchange Integration

Pacifica.fi

• Connection: Direct account linking via OAuth
• Execution: WebSocket for real-time order updates
• Settlement: Instant on-chain Solana transactions
• Points: Tracked via Pacifica's API

Lighter.xyz (Coming Soon)

• Connection: API key authentication
• Execution: REST API for order placement
• Settlement: Ethereum L2 (Arbitrum)
• Points: Tracked via Lighter's dashboard

Monitoring & Logging

Every action is logged for transparency and debugging:

• Execution Logs - Every trade attempt, success, and failure
• Balance Tracking - Real-time collateral and PnL updates
• Error Handling - Automatic retries with exponential backoff
• Audit Trail - Complete history of all automation decisions

IP Diversity

Each wallet routes through unique proxy IPs to enhance privacy:

• Residential proxies from diverse geographic locations
• Sticky sessions (same IP per wallet for session duration)
• IP rotation between sessions
• No shared IPs between different wallets
