How to use the Flywheel
We published the Crypto Flywheel as a public good so that anyone can learn it, use it, and build on it.
Built with our clients
The Flywheel began in 2024 as a simple loop on a whiteboard and evolved over two years of running it with our private members. In October 2026 we published the entire model for free.
Built on proven practice
The Flywheel takes what already works in other markets and brings it together in one system that runs on the blockchain.
Better in the open
A model in the open can be checked, backtested, and judged on its merits. We want the crypto industry to have a clear, written way to build portfolios that hold up as markets rise and fall.
