MintLocke

The brutal truth is that 716 million people own crypto but only 70 million are actually doing anything with it — not because they're not interested, but because on-chain portfolio management is genuinely painful and requires constant babysitting. MintLocke is basically an autopilot for self-custody portfolios: you pick a strategy, deposit funds, and it handles the on-chain execution automatically, currently running a BTC 100/20 EMA crossover on cbBTC on Base with Claude API execution coming soon. The no seed phrase plus Google sign-in is a smart UX move that lowers the barrier significantly for people who want automated exposure without becoming a DeFi power user, and I appreciate that they're staying self-custody rather than just building another glorified exchange wrapper. The traction numbers (24 followers, 66 Product Hunt points) suggest they're very early and still in testing, but the core thesis — automating the gap between ownership and action — is the right one.
