Company profile
researched Aug 2026Pilot3 is a non-custodial crypto trading hub that combines decentralized finance with artificial intelligence (described as "DeFAI"). The platform is built around adaptive AI agents that analyze markets, simulate strategies, and autonomously execute trades across multiple blockchain networks. Stated capabilities include real-time market data and sentiment forecasting, predictive analysis, personalized trade recommendations, and automated portfolio management in which allocations are adjusted based on AI-driven analysis.
The platform is positioned for both experienced and inexperienced traders and emphasizes cross-chain compatibility across several blockchain ecosystems. Its native utility token has traded under two tickers: PTAI, issued on the Base network via the Virtuals platform, and PILT, the ticker used after a rebrand and contract migration on Base.
Business model
Pilot3 operates a non-custodial trading platform paired with a native utility token. The token ($PTAI, later $PILT) is described as providing access to premium platform features, governance participation in decisions about the platform's development, and incentives or rewards for ecosystem contributions such as providing liquidity or referring new users.
Traction
Onchain and market-data indicators are the only publicly reported traction measures: the PTAI token recorded 9,896 holders, 941.8 million of 1 billion tokens circulating, roughly $3.3 thousand market capitalization and about $603 of liquidity as of August 2026. The rebranded PILT token showed a fully diluted valuation of about $31,700 and 24-hour trading volume of $1.62, aggregated from one exchange and one market.
Latest developments
Following the rebrand from PTAI to PILT and the migration to a new Base contract, market-data pages report very low trading activity and valuation for the token: a fully diluted valuation of about $31,700 and roughly $1.62 in 24-hour trading volume, with the PILT price approximately 95% below its December 2025 all-time high. The predecessor PTAI token showed a market capitalization of about $3.3 thousand and roughly $600 in liquidity as of August 2026.

Market position
Pilot3 describes its distinguishing elements as AI agents that learn and adapt to changing market conditions, the combination of decentralized finance tooling with AI analysis, cross-chain operation, real-time market and sentiment data, and automated portfolio rebalancing driven by those agents.
Technology
The platform's core technology is a set of adaptive AI agents that ingest market data, run strategy simulations, generate predictive sentiment analysis and trade recommendations, and execute trades autonomously across multiple blockchains without taking custody of user assets. The associated tokens are deployed on the Base network.
Go-to-market
The token is distributed and traded through decentralized venues rather than centralized listings. PTAI was made available through the Virtuals platform, and PILT trades on decentralized exchanges, with Uniswap V2 on Base cited as the most active venue via the PILT/VIRTUAL pair. The project maintains a website, a blog (blog.pilot3.ai), and Telegram and X community channels.
Crypto traders across experience levels, from newcomers to experienced traders, seeking automated or AI-assisted trading and portfolio management.
History
The project's token, PILOT3 by Virtuals (PTAI), was created on the Base network in April 2025 and was made available via the Virtuals platform. The token was subsequently rebranded from PTAI to PILT, with a migration from the original contract to a new contract on Base; the earlier token is listed on market-data sites as "Pilot3 [OLD]".
Risks & controversies
The PTAI token is flagged as unverified on at least one wallet platform, and the predecessor token shows minimal liquidity (about $603) and market capitalization (about $3.3 thousand). The successor PILT token records negligible trading volume and a fully diluted valuation of roughly $31,700, trading about 95% below its all-time high. Publicly available documentation does not identify the project's founders or team members by name.
