Explanation of the JLP Delta Neutral (DN) Strategy

The JLP Delta Neutral (DN) Strategy is a cutting-edge, high-yield solution designed to deliver consistent, stable returns by fully hedging market exposure using advanced quantitative and systematic techniques. What sets this strategy apart is its ability to generate steady returns by continuously collecting fees from Jupiter perpetual contracts (perps) every hour.

Here’s why it outshines traditional stablecoin yield options:

  1. Lending Yields on Aave (USDC): Typically, 3–4% APY
  2. Ethena (sUSDe): ~4.5% APY, doing funding rate arbitrage on BTC and ETH on multiple exchanges
  3. Kamino JLP Market (USDC): Offers around 7.5% APY, with the risks of bad debt if liquidations are not performed quick enough
  4. Other Yield Vaults : Yields range from 3–10% APY, but much of this is artificially boosted by reward tokens, or some are even losing money

In comparison, the JLP DN Strategy delivers an impressive real yield of 30% APY without leverage (In practice we are using 1.5x), primarily generated from trading fees, borrowing fees, and liquidation fees earned from traders engaging with Jupiter perps.

Our quants have optimized trading in several areas, including perfectly hedging JLP’s delta, fine-tuning strategy entries and exits, and collecting funding fees from shorting assets in the JLP index. Afterward, we leveraged it up to 1.5x to enhance the fees.

By leveraging established platforms like Drift and Jupiter, both of which are known for their rigorous auditing and reliability, the JLP DN Strategy stands out from traditional yield farming options.

Unlike other opportunities that carry risks such as bad debt from lending, slashing risks from restaking protocols, or exposure to liquidity issues, impermanent loss, and smart contract vulnerabilities, the JLP DN Strategy actively mitigates these risks, providing a secure and dependable way to achieve high returns.

The trading dilemma: Why your money deserves expert hands

This is a game where everyday traders often lose.

Why? Because you’re up against professional traders and quants — the math wizards of the financial world who leverage advanced algorithms, data, and strategies that most people simply don’t have access to.

As referenced in The Big Short, these “quants” are the specialists who move markets behind the scenes, using complex models and data analytics to outsmart the average trader. They know the ins and outs, the market inefficiencies, and how to execute trades with precision.

That’s where we come in:
We don’t just trade — we have our own team of quants, building strategies that consistently outperform. When you entrust your capital to us, you’re not just getting a service; you’re gaining access to the expertise of financial engineers who design systems to minimize risk and maximize returns.

In a world where every advantage matters, the edge belongs to those with the right team.

What Sets Us Apart

At the core of our system, you remain in control of your assets.

Non-custodial means that only you hold the keys. We don’t take custody, we just execute trades on your behalf, ensuring complete transparency. With no third parties involved, our approach is not only cost-effective but also cuts out unnecessary middlemen, giving you the best value.

Earn yields that traditional markets simply can’t offer. This is not the standard financial system — our strategies allow you to tap into returns far beyond what banks or traditional assets can provide.

And because we’re global, there are no borders to entry. Just connect your wallet, deposit your funds, and start earning. It’s that simple — anytime, anywhere.
