# An open, on-chain-settled compute market — for capital that wants verifiable diversification

## The shape of the problem

A growing share of global capital wants **diversification that does not depend on a single
banking channel or a single jurisdiction's market hours.** Not tax evasion. Not sanction
evasion. Simply: an allocation that settles transparently, audits easily, and does not sit
behind one correspondent bank.

## What we run

An **open, experimental compute-futures market**, settled in USDC on-chain.

- **On-chain settlement.** Positions settle to a USDC pool whose address and balance are
  publicly verifiable. You can check the venue's books yourself.
- **Two-pool isolation.** User balances/margin sit in a segregated liability ledger,
  separate from venue revenue. The treasury endpoint publishes the reconciliation:
  `user_liability_usdc` vs `onchain_usdc` — anyone can audit solvency.
- **24/7, no close.** Compute is a global asset; the market never closes for a weekend
  or a holiday in any one country.
- **No expiry, no funding rate.** You are not modelling roll costs or perpetual-funding
  drag — the instrument has neither.
- **Open index.** A BF16-normalized general compute index across 23 platforms with a
  published, auditable construction.

## What this is NOT

- **Not a sanctioned-jurisdiction workaround.** We do not help any specific person or
  entity evade the capital controls, exchange restrictions, or sanctions of their own
  country. That is illegal and we will refuse it.
- **Not a bank substitute.** This is an experimental derivatives venue. Position size
  accordingly.
- **Not custody of your fiat.** Only USDC on-chain. You hold your own keys for deposits
  and withdrawals.

## What it IS

A venue where a globally-mobile, legally-compliant allocator can take compute-price
exposure with:

| Need | How |
|---|---|
| Verifiable solvency | treasury endpoint publishes liability vs on-chain pool |
| No single-jurisdiction market close | 24/7 settlement |
| No hidden roll cost | non-expiring, no funding rate |
| API-first access | REST + MCP, no manual desk required |
| Segregated accounting | user liability ledger separate from venue revenue |

**Participation is open to funds and allocators that comply with the laws of their own
jurisdiction.** You are responsible for your own KYC/AML obligations. We publish the
market; you decide, with your counsel, whether you may use it.
