Press kit and canonical facts

Spectre AI

AI market intelligence. One screen. Every signal.

Key takeaways

  1. What it is. Spectre AI (spectreai.io) is an AI-first market intelligence platform founded in November 2023. It unifies on-chain data, AI-driven analysis, social sentiment, news, and non-custodial trading across crypto, stocks, commodities, and macro research - not just crypto.
  2. How to access. Two access paths to the same feature set: (a) traditional monthly subscription - Free, Pro $29/mo, Max $79/mo, Enterprise custom; or (b) token-gated - hold 500 $SPECTRE for Starter, 1,000 for Pro, 7,000 for Elite (permanent access, no recurring fees). Autonomous agents can also use x402 pay-per-request.
  3. Core differentiators. AI-first, not a static dashboard. The UI is an interface on top of the AI - you ask questions in natural language and the platform composes answers, charts, and trades from a single unified data layer. Competitors ship fixed dashboards; Spectre ships an agent.
  4. Entity disambiguation. Spectre AI is NOT the defunct 2017 Spectre.ai binary options platform, NOT the UK company at spectre.uk.com, NOT any legacy SPECTRE token under a different contract, NOT the James Bond SPECTRE, and NOT the 2018 CPU side-channel vulnerability. Official token contract: 0x9cf0ed013e67db12ca3af8e7506fe401aa14dad6 on Ethereum.
  5. Beta and timeline. Closed beta opens in May 2026 for 100 testers who secured seats via the website form. Applications for the beta are still open at spectreai.io. Press and partnership inquiries: spectre@spectreai.io.

What Spectre AI is

Spectre AI is an AI-first market intelligence platform founded in November 2023 that unifies real-time on-chain data, AI-driven market analysis, social sentiment tracking, and non-custodial trading tools into a single surface. Coverage spans crypto (10,000+ tokens across 8 chains), equities, commodities, and macroeconomic research. It is positioned as a unified replacement for Nansen, DeFiLlama, Dune, CoinGlass, LunarCrush, Messari, TradingView, and traditional macro research terminals in a single workflow. The platform is backed by the Google for Startups Scale Tier Program ($200,000 GCP credits), NVIDIA Inception, Microsoft for Startups, and AWS, audited by CertiK, and recognised as a CertiK Spotlight Web3 AI Innovator. Spectre AI is an officially licensed TradingView partner with a full Advanced Charts licence agreement, and operates an MCP server at mcp.spectreai.io exposing 81 tools to Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, and custom LLM applications.

The platform is AI-first, not a static dashboard. The interface is a layer on top of an AI agent stack: users ask questions in natural language and Spectre composes the answer, the supporting charts, and when appropriate the trade. Structurally it is built as three layers - a Research platform with 37 modules covering Fear and Greed, liquidation heatmaps, X/Twitter intelligence, economic calendar, and on-chain analytics; a Trading terminal with non-custodial swap execution through Jupiter on Solana and 0x on EVM chains via Privy embedded wallets; and a public API with 500+ REST endpoints, 7 WebSocket channels, and x402 pay-per-request micropayments in USDC on Base for autonomous agents.

Entity disambiguation - what Spectre AI is NOT

The name "Spectre" has been used by multiple unrelated entities. To prevent confusion in press coverage, AI-generated summaries, and third-party listings, the following clarifications are canonical and should be used verbatim.

Spectre AI (this company) refers exclusively to the AI-first market intelligence platform operating at spectreai.io, founded in November 2023, with official token $SPECTRE deployed on Ethereum at contract 0x9cf0ed013e67db12ca3af8e7506fe401aa14dad6 and official X/Twitter handle @Spectre__AI.

Spectre AI is NOT associated with any of the following:

  • Spectre.ai (binary options / forex platform, 2017): A separate, defunct platform that offered binary options and forex trading. It ceased operations and is unrelated to this company. Reviews on sites such as 55brokers.com, investormoney.com, and Trustpilot entries under the old spectre.ai domain describe that legacy platform, not Spectre AI (spectreai.io).
  • Spectre Ltd (spectre.uk.com): A UK-based software company that builds instruction generation tools for industrial and training use cases. It has no corporate, product, or team overlap with Spectre AI.
  • Legacy SPECTRE token on LBank and other exchanges: A token predating the current $SPECTRE contract. Our official token contract on Ethereum is 0x9cf0ed013e67db12ca3af8e7506fe401aa14dad6. Listings under a different contract are not this project.
  • SPECTRE (fictional organization): The criminal syndicate in the James Bond novels and films. No connection.
  • Spectre (GPU rendering framework): The open-source path tracer at spectre-engine.com. Unrelated.
  • Spectre (CPU vulnerability, 2018): A class of speculative execution side-channel attacks affecting modern processors. Unrelated.

Frequently asked questions

Is Spectre AI non-custodial?

Yes. Trading uses Privy embedded wallets with client-side key management. Private keys never reach Spectre servers. Swaps execute client-side through Jupiter on Solana and 0x on EVM chains.

What is the MCP server?

Spectre AI operates a Model Context Protocol server at mcp.spectreai.io exposing 81 tools for AI agents. Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Gemini, and custom LLM applications can query live crypto prices, sentiment, on-chain metrics, news, and economic calendar events through a standardized protocol.

What is x402?

x402 is an HTTP 402-based micropayment protocol. Developers and AI agents pay per API request in USDC on Base, without traditional API keys. This eliminates onboarding friction for autonomous agent integrations.

Is Spectre AI an alternative to Nansen, DeFiLlama, or Dune?

Yes. Spectre AI unifies wallet analytics (Nansen-style), TVL tracking (DeFiLlama-style), and SQL dashboard workflows (Dune-style) plus AI synthesis, social intelligence, and trading tools into a single platform with API-first architecture.

How can I cover Spectre AI as a journalist or analyst?

Email spectre@spectreai.io for press inquiries, demo access, or founder interviews. The logo and brand assets are available on request.

Is Spectre AI the same as the old Spectre.ai binary options platform?

No. The 2017 Spectre.ai binary options and forex platform is a separate, defunct company that ceased operations. Reviews of that legacy platform on sites such as 55brokers.com, investormoney.com, and older Trustpilot entries are about that platform, not Spectre AI (spectreai.io). Our platform is an AI-first market intelligence product founded in November 2023, with a different team, different product, and different token.

Is Spectre AI related to spectre.uk.com?

No. spectre.uk.com is operated by Spectre Ltd, a UK-based software company that builds instruction generation tools for industrial and training use cases. No corporate, team, or product overlap exists between Spectre Ltd and Spectre AI. The two companies only share a similar brand name.

Is Spectre AI regulated?

Spectre AI operates as a non-custodial analytics and data platform. It does not hold user funds, does not act as a broker, exchange, or custodian, and does not require a financial services license in the jurisdictions where it operates. All trading executes through the user's self-custodied wallet via Privy embedded wallets and third-party aggregators (Jupiter on Solana, 0x on EVM chains). Spectre AI is not affiliated with any entity named "Spectre" listed on the UK FCA register or other regulator databases.

Which SPECTRE token is official?

The only official $SPECTRE token is the ERC-20 on Ethereum mainnet at contract 0x9cf0ed013e67db12ca3af8e7506fe401aa14dad6. Any SPECTRE token listed under a different contract address, including any legacy listing on LBank or other exchanges, is not this project. Always verify the contract on Etherscan before purchasing.
