Investment Strategies
One Framework. Three Risk Profiles.
Same deterministic risk engine. Same non-overridable gates. Different allocations optimised for your risk tolerance. All APY figures are variable and not guaranteed.
Conservative
Capital-preservation focused yield
Target profile
Target profile — validation pending. Not paper tracked. Variable APY, not guaranteed.
Tier 1 protocols only. No looping, no leverage. Higher cash buffer. Stricter protocol eligibility. Validation pending — paper tracking has not started yet.
Who it's for
Allocators prioritising capital preservation over yield optimisation.
Yield sources
Balanced
Systematic, risk-gated DeFi yield — paper-tracked since June 2026
Target profile
Target band; current live paper APY ~3.6% (blended book ~4.5%). Variable, not guaranteed. Evidenced track since June 22, 2026.
Tier 1 + selected Tier 2 protocols. Deterministic risk-gated rebalancing. Public paper track record since June 22, 2026 (evidenced anchor).
Who it's for
Family offices and individual allocators seeking systematic, transparent DeFi yield.
Yield sources
Aggressive
Advanced mechanics for higher yield tolerance
Target profile
Target profile — validation pending. Not paper tracked. Variable APY, not guaranteed. Possible loss of capital.
Levered PT carry, points / incentive farming, and unhedged directional restaking. Real liquidation-cascade and depeg risk — paper-tested in the Aggressive Lab, refused for live capital. The tail is shown, not hidden.
Who it's for
Experienced allocators accepting higher volatility for yield upside.

How new strategies are vetted
Candidates compete in a tournament backtest → paper → live. Only credible-data winners promote — the fail-closed gate refuses on degenerate data. See the live leaderboard and promotion ladder.
The tiers, honestly — with the tail
Conservative targets up to 6% (evidenced, fundable; ~3.3% realized so far). Balanced (up to 12%) and Aggressive (up to 20%) are research/paper, shown WITH their real dated tail and refused for live capital. The higher the tier, the bigger the tail — measured, not hidden.
Beyond stablecoins — assessed, not held
Visual and honest: strategies the desk assesses (BTC) or refuses for live (leverage loops) — advisory, not what we hold.
APY figures are variable and not guaranteed. Past paper performance does not guarantee future results. Possible loss of capital.
Strategy Lab — research sleeves
What we test beyond the three product tiers
This is a paper backtest bench: research sleeves run through the same deterministic risk engine. The sleeves below are research, advisory, and not live. They are not offered products and are not part of our paper track record.
Honest finding
Crypto (ETH/BTC) yield sleeves are diversifiers, not floor-beaters: the neutral books are low-vol but don't clear the ~3.4% RWA floor; directional books take the full crypto drawdown. Only the stable engines (Engine A/B/C + RWA) clear the floor.
All figures are paper backtest on historical data, variable, not guaranteed, and not investment advice. β(ETH) is the estimated sensitivity to ETH returns. "Killed" means the deterministic risk gate closed the sleeve during the backtest (kill-switch, or fail-closed on missing data).
