A foundation that protects, a tier that searches
Capital works in the first. Only profits feed the second.
If the second tier is wrong, it loses profits. Never your stake.
How delta-neutral carry works
Delta-neutral carry, or funding rate arbitrage, means buying a crypto on the spot market and selling the same quantity as a perpetual contract. The position no longer depends on the price, and it collects the funding paid by leveraged traders. QuietCrypto runs it for you, on your own Bitget or Hyperliquid account.
QuietCrypto is built on two tiers, following a Barbell model. The first engine puts your capital to work without ever betting on price direction. The second seeks performance, but only with gains already made by the first: your initial stake never goes into it.
The vault (Carry)
Delta-neutral funding arbitrage
No position is taken on the direction of price. The engine holds a long spot position and a perpetual short position of equivalent value. Your capital bets on nothing: it collects the periodic rent that leveraged traders pay.
Simulation over 30 pairs, from September 10, 2019 to October 5, 2026. This is not a guarantee.
- Price-neutral. No prediction, no direction.
- Your initial capital is not exposed to price direction.
- Return collected whether the market rises or falls.
The laboratory (Gamma)
Directional engine, funded only by your profits
An aggressive directional engine, funded only by the profits already made by the vault. The client's initial capital stays untouchable: it never enters this second tier.

Risk is capped at 1% of capital per trade, which sets the position size. Leverage ranges from 1 to 23 depending on the stop distance: the tighter the stop, the larger the position, for a constant dollar risk. 912 trades over the tested period, from February 2025 to November 2026.

The Carry, simply explained
The Carry is delta-neutral: for each pair we buy the asset on the spot market and sell the same quantity in a perpetual contract. Price exposure is therefore neutralised, and the gain comes from the funding paid by leveraged buyers. A visible short is not a bet on a price fall.
Leg 1: Spot buy

Leg 2: perpetual sell

Carry engine fees: what we refund
To open its positions, the Carry engine pays fees to the exchange. These fees are paid once, when the strategy starts.
It then takes about one month of funding to absorb them. A negative net result at the start is therefore normal: funding builds up day by day, while the fees are paid all at once.
So that you do not start your journey at a loss, QuietCrypto covers part of this cost.
Initial setup fees: refunded
We give them back as credit on your QuietCrypto account. This credit is not withdrawable money: it cannot be refunded in cash, it cannot be transferred, it is personal to you, and it is used only to pay your subscription. It is consumed automatically by the subscription, after your mined Quiet.
Resizing fees: not refunded
When you add capital, the engine must resize its positions so that funding tracks your new capital. This resizing generates new fees, and those stay at your expense, because they result from your own capital move. This is comparable to brokerage fees you would pay elsewhere.
Exit fees: not refunded
When a position is closed, the exit fees are paid to the exchange and they are never refunded, even when their amount is known in advance.
Refund: all of your setup fees
We refund the full amount of your initial Carry setup fees, as a credit on your internal balance. This credit can never exceed the setup fees you actually paid, and it covers neither resizings nor exits, which remain at your own cost.
Example: for USD 1,000 of capital, the subscription is USD 2.50 per month. The Carry strategy setup fees are refunded as credit, which goes towards paying that subscription.
The golden rule
Your initial capital never goes into the lab. Only gains already accumulated by the Carry feed the second tier: if it loses, it loses profits, not your stake. The Carry itself is not risk-free: its risks are detailed just below.
The tier that protects and the tier that searches are separate. Performance cannot threaten the capital that funds it.
The risks of carry, precisely
A delta-neutral position does not bet on price, but it is not risk-free.
Zero or negative funding
Funding changes with the market. When it is zero, the position earns nothing; when it turns negative, the short position pays it, and the return falls.
Entry fees
Opening the positions costs fees to the exchange, paid all at once. It takes about a month of funding to absorb them: a negative net result at the start is normal.
Liquidation of the short position
The perpetual short is backed by margin. A sudden price rise can make that margin insufficient, up to the liquidation of the position: neutrality is then broken and the loss is real.
Exchange failure
Your funds stay with Bitget or Hyperliquid. An outage, a withdrawal freeze or the exchange going bankrupt would affect you directly: QuietCrypto has no control over this risk.
Lab losses
Gains handed to the lab can be lost: it is a directional engine. Your initial stake never goes into it, but those gains are not guaranteed.
What we do not promise
We would rather tell you beforehand, not afterwards.
Past performance does not guarantee future performance.
A backtest is not reality: it simulates a strategy on past data and certifies no future result.
The lab went through a 16.5% drawdown in its backtest. You need to be able to bear that without selling at the worst moment.
Trading carries a risk of loss. Never invest capital you need.
No withdrawal access API security
Your capital stays in your exchange account. The API key is limited to trading, never to withdrawals: we cannot transfer your funds.
AES-256 encryption
API keys are encrypted with AES-256 on a proprietary server, with a key tied to your sign-up.
Continuous monitoring
Every order is monitored and logged continuously. The log lets nothing slip through.
No manual intervention
Execution is entirely algorithmic. No human hand places an order on your behalf.
Which platform
Hyperliquid
- Round-trip fees: about 0.23% per pair.
- Accessible starting capital, one pair at a time.
- High maintenance margin on small pairs: the distance before liquidation is shorter, and the engine trims the position to keep it.
- Suited to those who want the best rate and accept active monitoring.
Bitget
- Cross margin across the whole futures wallet: the distance before liquidation runs in the hundreds of percent.
- Several pairs at once, none exceeding a fraction of the capital.
- Spot-to-futures transfers are signed by the API key, with no action from the client.
- Suited to those who deposit and do not want to think about it.
In both cases the funds stay on your account: we cannot withdraw them.
