Approach
Our teams
Innovation and mathematics are the foundation and passion behind our approach to the markets. Here, curious people come together to focus on deep problems in crypto.
Risk
In a market that never closes, drawdown control is the edge that lets us stay in the game. Robust infrastructure and security define our discipline.
Research
On-chain data, market structure, and patterns help meld our understanding and positioning.
Have a hunch, bet a bunch.
Strategies
Four ways we find return.
We run a diversified book with directional conviction balanced by market-neutral strategies that compound in any regime.
Liquid
Directional
High-conviction long and short positions in major tokens, sized and managed to strict risk limits.
Market Neutral
Statistical Arbitrage
Machine learning models deployed to programmatically capture systematic dislocations in an inefficient market.
Onchain
Defi Yield
Programmatic liquidity deployed and structured onchain positions, underwritten with the same risk discipline as everything we trade.
Early Stage
Venture
Selective token and equity positions in protocols early, where deep research and understanding rewards asymmetric bets.
