For quants — prove the edge, never reveal it

§ 01What was impossible

Eight walls that stood for structural reasons — and no longer do.

Not one was ever about your honesty. Each existed because the information lived only on your machine, and proving it meant giving it away.

Prove the edge is real — without showing what it is.The trap that made everything else impossible

A zero-knowledge proof computes your Sharpe, drawdown, costs and out-of-sample behaviour on committed data and publishes only the verdict. Nobody sees inside it, and everybody can check it.

Own a record that belongs to you, not the pod.At a firm, the record belongs to the firm

The credential is minted to you, verifies forever with no dependence on any employer or on us, and travels with you when you leave. Nobody can keep your proof in their building.

Make the years before anyone watched finally count.Unwitnessed work priced at zero

A committed, anchored record is a record — whether or not anyone was watching when you built it. Pre-registration and Bitcoin anchoring turn private history into checkable history.

Prove you didn't fit until it worked."Out of sample" is a claim, not a fact

The split is committed before evaluation and enforced in-circuit. So are the costs. So is the number of strategies you tried — N becomes a Merkle leaf count you cannot shrink after the fact.

Encode a strategy the rules can't express.Bracket exits, ML models, black boxes

The sealed path: your bot emits its committed positions and the proof runs over those. Your code, your rules, your model — none of it leaves your machine. What it did becomes checkable; what it is stays sealed.

Grow a live record that can't be backfilled."Since 2021" is a sentence, not a fact

Chain it forward: each extension provably post-dates its Bitcoin anchor. The record shows a public pulse — LIVE while you keep extending it. A track record that can only have been built forward.

Be early on a wall that remembers.Seniority you can't buy later

The registry is append-only. Your number is permanent; earlier is worth more, forever. A competitor's wall would start you at zero, in their launch year — always.

Let a machine's record be trusted like a person's.AI trades now, on nobody's proof

A compact model's inference is recomputed inside the proof; any model's behaviour proves via the sealed path. Verifiable AI →

§ 02Your loop, end to end

Prove it. Go live. Get listed. Get allocated.

Minting is the start, not the finish. Here is the whole arc — and what is live for you today versus what runs on partner rails.

LIVE TODAY

Prove

Submit your strategy or your committed positions. It runs the locked gate inside a zero-knowledge proof and mints your credential. Free while open testing lasts.

LIVE TODAY

Go live

Keep running it; each period extends the record forward. The chain grows, the pulse reads LIVE — a record that can only have been built forward.

THE ROSTER

Get listed

Opt onto the roster every partner platform reads. List once, discoverable everywhere — your strategy stays sealed the whole way.

PARTNER RAILS

Get allocated

Capital finds what passed, on a partner's licensed rails — never through MIZAN. You keep your edge and your record; the venue moves the money.

What you never give up: your strategy, your code, your positions, your ownership of the record. What you gain by staying: seniority that compounds, a live chain that proves conduct, a rank that exists only on this wall, and a listing that reaches every venue at once. Enter for almost nothing; the value accrues only while you keep the record alive.

§ 03The honest part

It will probably refuse you.

The gate refuses most of what it examines. It refused Apple's +272,548% buy-and-hold, refused a neural net that returned +895% on NVDA, and refused its own maker's flagship — deflated Sharpe 0.68, not significant, published on the wall next to everything else. Of 77 credentials, it has said yes to a handful.

That is the point. A gate that passes everything certifies nothing. When your strategy passes, an allocator knows exactly what that is worth — because they know what it refused. And if it refuses you, you have learned in a day, for free, what most people pay eighteen months and a real allocation to find out. Your worst case is an honest no.

§ 04Take the first step

Bring the backtest you believe in.

Mint a credential on the strategy you are proudest of. It runs on your machine; nothing is revealed; the verdict is yours to publish or not. Minting is free while open testing lasts, and your number on the wall is permanent — the earliest credentials stay earliest for as long as the standard exists.

Research and verification artifacts. Not investment advice; no offer or solicitation. Backtested results are hypothetical performance, net of committed trading costs only, and are not indicative of future returns. Your strategy is never transmitted, stored, or revealed by MIZAN. · for allocators → · for platforms → · how it works →
