Our project features a bespoke non-custodial smart contract vault, enabling user capital deposits during specifically timed funding epochs. These epochs are tactically aligned with the current opportunity landscape, setting us apart from the typical offerings in the DeFi vault sector that often rely on static strategies. This dynamic approach positions us to stay ahead, effectively navigating the markets where static strategies ( what other DeFi vault protocols are currently offering) may become less effective over time.\n\nThis capital is then actively managed and traded by our adept D2 quant trading team, which boasts extensive experience in multiple top-tier hedge funds, including pag.com 1. Following each trading epoch, users can withdraw their USDC deposits along with the corresponding profit or loss.\n\nEach of our options-based vaults employs a distinctive trading strategy, meticulously designed to take advantage of diverse market inefficiencies. This approach allows for exposure to varying levels of risk. Additionally, we\u2019re poised to offer customized solutions, such as a-la-carte beta (ETH exposure), coupled with absolute return strategies. This flexibility will be contingent on the prevailing opportunity set, ensuring adaptability and responsiveness to market conditions.\n\nOur approach to quantitative signal generation leverages in-house machine learning and modeling expertise. These signals are then qualitatively refined by human traders, extracting optionality and exposure at a discount by capitalizing on the inelastic behaviors of options end-users (e.g., convenience yield, barriers to entry). This results in a hybrid model that amalgamates quantitative and qualitative inputs, providing a true Quant Hedge Fund experience on-chain.", "hidden": false, "question": "Application detail", "questionId": 1}, {"type": "number", "answer": "100000", "hidden": true, "question": "Amount requested", "questionId": 2}, {"type": "dropdown", "answer": "ARB", "hidden": true, "question": "Payout token", "questionId": 3}, {"type": "paragraph", "answer": "Updated agreed milestone\n\nMilestone 1 - Dec 22nd - Launch of Vaults for Public :: 12.5K ARB\n\nMilestone 2 - Jan 15th - Target TVL 40k , Target Volume 200K in GMX for the period (22 Dec 19Th January):: 12.5k ARB\n\nMilestone 3 - Feb 15th - Target TVL 1M, Target Volume 3M in GMX for the period ( 19th January / 16th February):: 75K ARB", "hidden": false, "question": "Milestones", "questionId": 4}, {"type": "paragraph", "answer": "Head of Trading- Luca  ( Portfolio manager in Volatility Strategies for Multiple Billion Dollar AUM Hedge Funds)\nGrowth - Frank (also Rodeo)\nCommunications/Community - Vate (also Mithical)\nPlus 5 contributors with payments at delivery ( also Jpeg / Rodeo / Umami)", "hidden": false, "question": "Team Members and Qualifications: [List team members and their qualifications, roles, and responsibilities]", "questionId": 5}, {"type": "number", "answer": "8", "hidden": false, "question": "Team Size", "questionId": 6}, {"type": "short-answer", "answer": "NA", "hidden": true, "question": "Grant Matching:", "questionId": 7}, {"type": "paragraph", "answer": "NA", "hidden": true, "question": "Grant Breakdown", "questionId": 8}, {"type": "short-answer", "answer": "3/5 Multisig", "hidden": true, "question": "Funding Address Characteristics: [Enter details on the status of the address; eligible address must be an MPC wallet\u00a0or 2/3 multisig with private keys securely stored]", "questionId": 9}, {"type": "short-answer", "answer": "0xe7eb925300075e49fc5caad5d408a50dd22f92d6 ", "hidden": true, "question": "Distribution Contract Address: [Enter any specific address that will be used to disburse funds for grant recipients]", "questionId": 10}, {"type": "short-answer", "answer": "0x31ff6ccef7f82057c382ee19ca853101bccd3a5e", "hidden": true, "question": "Incentivised Contract Addresses: [Enter any specific contract addresses that will be incentivised in your program (Pool addresses, contracts, etc.)]", "questionId": 11}, {"type": "paragraph", "answer": "D2 will utilize the grant incentives to attract liquidity into our managed vaults.
