Who it is for

​

It fits you if

You want measured claims rather than screenshots. Every rate on the platform carries a credible interval and an unmeasured rate stays null. If that discipline is why you are here, the rest of the product will make sense to you. You want to keep your keys. The custody model is the reason this platform exists in the shape it does. If you are comparing it to a custodial exchange, that is the axis to compare on. You are comfortable verifying on-chain. Positions settle where you can check them independently. The platform is designed on the assumption that you will, and it publishes the contracts so you can. You can read a confidence interval. The numbers are honest, which means they are sometimes wide and sometimes absent. A platform that always shows a tidy number is hiding something; this one shows the untidiness.

​

It does not fit you if

You want someone to trade for you. Nobody at BlackQuant exercises discretion over your capital. The engine publishes; you act. If you want a managed product, this is not one. You want guaranteed returns. There are none, and any figure on the marketing site describing past volume or yield is a description of the past, not a forecast. You want custody handled for you. Losing your keys means losing access, and there is no support path that recovers them — that is the direct cost of the guarantee that nobody else can move your funds either. You need the platform in a jurisdiction it does not serve. Identity verification is required before withdrawal, and approval is jurisdiction-dependent.

Experience level

​

Before you commit money

1. Read The custody model so the guarantees and their costs are both clear.
2. Read Reading the numbers honestly.
3. Read the scope sections of the published audits rather than the headline that a firm audited something.
4. Deposit an amount you would be unbothered to lose, and run the full loop once — deposit, plan, signal, withdrawal — before scaling up.
