Arbitrage plans
The three plans are not three rates of return. They are a protection ladder: the fee is identical, and the only thing that changes is what you trade for what — the more of the upside you give up, the more protection you get.
Four investment tiers
From 5,000 USDT, terms of 1-5 年, and one flat 2% annual management fee across all three plans, taken from returns. What differs is only how much protection you take and how much of the upside you give up.
5,000+ USDT · 1-year term
100% principal guarantee plus a 7% floor APR (take-home); the entire excess goes to the platform
5,000 – 20,000 USDT · 1-year term
100% principal guarantee plus an excess split of 7:3, platform first, switchable to the unprotected plan
20,000 – 100,000 USDT · 3-year term
100% principal guarantee plus an excess split of 7:3, platform first, switchable to the unprotected plan
100,000+ USDT · 5-year term
100% principal guarantee plus an excess split of 7:3, platform first, switchable to the unprotected plan
Three plans
Tiers are set by how much you put in; plans are set by how much protection you take, and the two cross. All three arbitrage tiers can switch between Protected 7:3 and Unprotected 3:7 — what changes is whether principal is guaranteed, not the strategy, the term or the fee. All three custody funds in a dedicated platform account and all three charge 2% annually. The protected-growth tier has no alternative: it gives up the entire excess in exchange for a 100% principal guarantee plus the 7% floor, and any plan with a split removes that consideration.
Capital and yield protected
Custodied · 2% annual management fee taken from returns · 7% floor APR (take-home) · 100% principal guarantee
- The platform carries all strategy risk
- Funds custodied in a dedicated platform account
- Take-home is fixed at 7%; the entire excess goes to the platform
- Annual distribution plus return of principal
- Principal can be returned early, credited within 7 business days, with no penalty
- Only the 2% annual management fee is charged
- Suited to risk-averse investors
Custody and what can be verified: Funds are custodied in a dedicated platform account with separate bookkeeping: balance, per-fill transaction detail, positions, the return curve and withdrawal progress are all visible in real time on the investor side. The 100% principal guarantee and the floor APR on this plan are honoured by the platform itself, so both carry platform credit risk.
Tiers that can choose this plan: Protected growth (1-year term)
Principal protected, 7:3 split
Custodied · 2% annual management fee taken from returns · 100% principal guarantee · excess split 7:3 (platform first)
- 100% principal guarantee, returned in full at maturity
- Excess split 7:3: seven tenths to the platform, three tenths to you
- No cap on the upside — the better the market, the thicker your three tenths
- Funds custodied in a dedicated platform account, strategy executed by the platform
- Only the 2% annual management fee is charged
- Quarterly settlement for steady cash flow
- Period-by-period detail is inspectable and the split formula is public
- Suited to investors who want principal safety and will give up most of the upside
Custody and what can be verified: Funds are custodied in a dedicated platform account with separate bookkeeping: balance, per-fill transaction detail, positions, the return curve and withdrawal progress are all visible in real time on the investor side. This plan carries a 100% principal guarantee but no floor APR: principal comes back in full, while what it earns in a given year moves with the strategy. The principal guarantee is honoured by the platform itself, so it carries platform credit risk.
Tiers that can choose this plan: Starter arbitrage (1-year term), Balanced growth (3-year term), Wealth management (5-year term)
Unprotected, 3:7 split
Custodied · 2% annual management fee taken from returns · no principal guarantee · excess split 3:7 (you take seven tenths)
- Excess split 3:7: three tenths to the platform, seven tenths to you
- No principal guarantee — principal moves with strategy performance
- Funds custodied in a dedicated platform account, strategy executed by the platform
- Only the 2% annual management fee is charged
- Monthly settlement, credited quickly
- Dedicated account manager
- Early access to new strategies and features
- Suited to investors who can carry principal risk and want the larger share
Custody and what can be verified: Funds are custodied in a dedicated platform account with separate bookkeeping: balance, per-fill transaction detail, positions, the return curve and withdrawal progress are all visible in real time on the investor side. This plan carries neither a principal guarantee nor a floor APR. Both principal and return move with strategy performance and may result in a loss. Custody is honoured by the platform itself, so it carries platform credit risk.

- Ownership of funds: all three plans custody funds in a dedicated platform account with the strategy executed by the platform — the floor and the principal guarantee are honoured by the platform, and custody is the precondition for honouring them.
- The protection ladder: plan one gives a 100% principal guarantee plus a 7% floor APR (take-home) with the entire excess going to the platform; plan two gives a 100% principal guarantee without a yield guarantee and splits the excess 7:3; plan three guarantees neither and splits the excess 3:7 — the figure written first is the platform's. The more upside you give up, the more protection you get.
- Management fee: all three charge 2% annually, deducted directly from returns rather than billed to the investor. In a year when returns do not cover it, the platform collects less; it is never back-billed.
- Custody and verification: funds are booked separately in a dedicated platform account, and balance, per-fill transaction detail, positions, the return curve and withdrawal progress are visible in real time on the investor side. Custody, the floor and the principal guarantee are all honoured by the platform, so platform credit risk exists; the arbitrage plans themselves still carry market risk, and plan three has no principal guarantee, so principal may lose value.
- Terms run 1-5 年, with principal plus return released automatically at maturity for the tier chosen; longer tiers carry an explicitly written early-exit clause.
How the excess is split
What gets split is the excess, not the gross return: the floor for that plan is paid first (only the capital-and-yield-protected plan has one), then the 2% management fee is deducted, and whatever is left is divided in the ratios below. The ratio depends on the plan, not the amount— how much you invest determines the tier, the term and the service level, not the split. The more the platform takes, the more protection you get back; those are two sides of one trade.
Plan one · Protected + floor
Platform 100% · you 0% (the platform's share is written first) · in exchange for a principal guarantee plus the 7% floor
Plan two · Protected 7:3
Platform 70% · you 30% (the platform's share is written first) · in exchange for a 100% principal guarantee
Plan three · Unprotected 3:7
Platform 30% · you 70% (the platform's share is written first) · in exchange for no principal guarantee
Return calculator
The rate is pre-filled with a conservative assumption, not a promised return. Try setting it to 7.873% — the worst year in the record, against an average of 124.296% over 2021–2025. On the capital-and-yield-protected plan the take-home figure still stops at 7% and the shortfall appears as its own line, topped up by the platform; on the other two it thins out with the market. That is what "the floor is a term, not an extrapolation" means, and it is what the other two plans are paid for in extra upside.
This plan carries a 100% principal guarantee but does not guarantee yield, with the excess split 7:3 (platform 70% · you 30%), settled quarterly. This amount falls in the 20,000 – 100,000 USDT tier, which maps to Balanced growth.This plan does not guarantee yield: the 2% annual management fee (taken from returns) comes off first, everything left counts as excess, and that is divided in the ratio above — so the rate above directly determines what you take home.

Custody and what can be verified: Funds are custodied in a dedicated platform account with separate bookkeeping: balance, per-fill transaction detail, positions, the return curve and withdrawal progress are all visible in real time on the investor side. This plan carries a 100% principal guarantee but no floor APR: principal comes back in full, while what it earns in a given year moves with the strategy. The principal guarantee is honoured by the platform itself, so it carries platform credit risk.
The excess is a linear extrapolation: it assumes the same annual rate repeats in each of these 3 years — while the weakest year in the record returned just 7.873%. It does not model funding moving period to period, does not model positions being reduced mid-term, and does not deduct the five cost lines again (the rate itself is already net of them). This plan has no floor, so the whole figure is an extrapolation: the lower the rate, the lower the take-home. Returns do not compound: all three plans settle returns out quarterly without rolling them into principal, so 3 years is simply one year times 3.

Charged on entry and on exit, against filled notional
Both legs are recorded, not just the futures one
The multiple comes from exchange position rules, not from a loan
Measured as average fill price against the mark price at order time
