hey, i'm the founder of @betadotfund here's who i am, and what beta is. my name is butler and i run systematic trading strategies on @Lighter_xyz and @HyperliquidX. i started with $10,000, and turned it into $500k+ through algorithmic trading strategies. i have shared some of this journey on my X. i've quickly grown my own trading operation and expanded to a basket of multiple strategies, but through talking with many on-chain users i've realised something. access to real, highly profitable quantative trading strategies is insanely limited. Crypto funds often have minimum investment requirements of $1m+, and for the average retail user, this simply isnt feasible. so what is @betadotfund, and how does it fix this? Beta is the first on-chain quant firm. $BETA is a publicly traded token with a 3% trading fee applied to all transactions. these fees are automatically harvested and converted from $ETH on robinhood to , and deposited to the lighter account: 0x85f796947F892556202e50640a4D8761f5eeA81d robinhoodchain.lighter.xyz/e… this account uses the funding raised from trading fees (currently $16,879) to execute quantitative strategies detailed on the site beta.fund. These strategies are derived from previous strategies my fund has run, as well as through new research. the fund distributes 100% of its profits to its holders every epoch (every hour). It does this by calculating the % of tokens in circulation (by excluding the liquidity pool and PONS locker) and then distributing hourly profits to users proportional to their ownership of $BETA. so if you own 2% of $BETA, and the fund generates $5000 in an hour due to a profitable trade, it will free up enough margin to pay you $100, aswell as all other holders their share of the profits. if your share is below $0.50, your owed profits are recorded and paid once they surpass $0.50 to avoid gas fees eating 10% + of your profit. the vision for this is extremely simple. quant firms are currently innaccessible, and @betadotfund is bridging the gap between high performance quantative trading strategies and retail capital. it also has extremely interesting dynamics. let's say the book reaches $1m in AUM - this means if the market capitalisation falls below $1m, arbitragers are incentivised to purchase the token to acquire ownership of the @Lighter_xyz profits for a discount. currently, new strategies are being iterated on to be added to the account, and will likely be ready to deploy tomorrow. β
