❔FAQ

What is Calculum?

Calculum is a DeFi protocol aiming at democratizing access to professional-grade quantitative trading strategies. Calculum offers a series of vaults deploying various systematic trading strategies servicing different risk appetite and views on the market.

Can the Calculum team access users’ funds?

No, Calculum vaults are non-custodial, permissionless vaults. This means that only the user that deposited from his wallet into a vault is able to withdraw his share of that vault' assets back into his wallet.

However, during the first stages of development there will be an emergency multi-sig access to the funds. This is a security measure to avoid scenarios where the cash in the vaults could end up locked due to unforeseen circumstances. Once the vaults are audited (by at least two reputable audit firms) and battle-tested for a few months, this feature will be eliminated and NO one (apart from the user) will have access to the funds.

Does Calculum have a token?

No, Calculum does not have a token yet. Any plans to launch a token will be announced on our official channels. In the meantime, if you see anyone mentioning a token or an airdrop, do not engage, it must be a scam!

Has Calculum been Audited?

Not yet. Our vaults follow the ERC-4626 standard and our code has been written by our lead dev who has 4+ years of full-time experience as a solidity developers (and 6+ years as full-stack before that). Our code will be peer-reviewed by at least one recognised builder in the space before going live on mainnet, but there is no guarantee that the code will be security-proof. We aim to have our smart contracts audited by at least two reputable security firms before any meaningful TVL scaling.

How to use Calculum?

Please refer to the user guide.

What are the protocol fees?

The protocol currently charges a 1.5% annual management fee (charged pro-rata every epoch) and a 15% performance fee. The management fee helps us bootstrap the protocol, but we aim to reduce it overtime and move towards a model relying exclusively on a performance fee, in line with our goal to maximize interest-alignment between the protocol, the strategists and the users.
