# Overview Cortex is a persistent server-side execution engine for advanced order logic and triggers that stay live even when you're away. It moves order execution and algorithm management off your browser and onto Insilico's backend infrastructure. Orders and strategies remain active even when the browser is closed, you disconnect, or you switch devices. ### Key Capabilities * **Persistent server-side execution:** orders survive browser closure, disconnects, and network interruptions * **Conditional orders:** gate any order type behind real-time trigger conditions * **Long-duration algorithms:** run TWAPs spanning days, weeks, or even a year * **Cross-device control:** create orders on one device, monitor or cancel from another * **Full execution history:** fill visibility, error tracking, and lifecycle details for every task ### Supported Exchanges * **Hyperliquid** * Other exchanges coming soon ### Getting Started Cortex is enabled from the Settings sidebar. See the Setup guide to activate it.
