The book

Beta is what you are given. Alpha is what you take.

One systematic strategy: trend following on the market's fastest names, sized to volatility and tilted by funding. No discretion, no committee.

The mechanism

A fund that pays its own way.

A cut of every trade

Buy or sell the token and a fixed slice is taken at the source. It goes straight to margin.

Traded by rules

Cross market trend following on Lighter, vol targeted and funding tilted. The model decides, nobody overrides.

Profit is booked

Every close lands on chain and can be checked against the live book. Nothing is claimed the desk did not earn.

Paid to the bearer

At each epoch, realised profit is split pro rata across holders and settled in USDG. Hold it, collect it.

The meaning
α=rp[rf+β(rmrf)]

The portfolio's return, less the return the market's own beta would have paid for free.

Beta is the part the market handed you for being there, up with the tide and down with it. Alpha is whatever is left once that tide is subtracted.

A desk that publishes its alpha every hour against a live book has nowhere to hide. That exposure is the discipline, and the discipline is the name.

Have an edge? Put it on the book.
