Mission and scope

The concierge pilot focuses on desks that already operate with regulated custodians or tier-one exchanges. Our remit is to extend your command of automation without compromising the oversight frameworks you have already earned.

Problem we solve

Fragmented liquidity, compliance friction, and the lack of post-quantum safeguards make it hard for institutional traders to scale digital asset strategies without building their own stack. Desks juggling multiple custodians, settlement cycles, and reporting regimes lose hours reconciling data that should be automated. Botchemy reduces that drag by orchestrating execution, controls, and evidence inside one operating layer.

What is available today

Strategy orchestration, risk controls, integration dossiers, and real-time compliance artefacts. Full dashboard access is staggered while certification completes. We expose live sandboxes, reference architectures, and regulatory audit packages as soon as the concierge team verifies alignment.

Who is a fit

Family offices, hedge funds, prop desks, and corporate treasuries with $50M+ in deployable capital and a need for supervised automation. Teams must already operate with institutional governance, dual-control procedures, and willingness to engage in joint incident rehearsals.

Operational outcomes we target

Within 90 days we aim to replace fragmented runbooks with deterministic playbooks, reduce manual reconciliations by over 60%, and elevate time-to-decision for risk committees. Quant teams gain programmable guardrails while executives receive narrative reports grounded in verifiable telemetry.

Architecture in plain language

A layered system built on Rust microservices, Next.js experience surfaces, and zero-knowledge reconciliation pipelines. Each layer is independently observable, auditable, and resilient to partial failure.

Execution core

Latency-sensitive services written in Rust coordinate trading strategies, exchange connectivity, and failover logic with deterministic playbooks. Strategy modules are hot-swappable, versioned, and tested against historical market stressors before they are cleared for live deployment.

Vault protocol

A custody orchestration layer that applies post-quantum cryptography, hardware isolation, and programmatic approvals overseen by humans. Every withdrawal path requires quorum sign-off, device binding, and telemetry proof that authentication policies were respected.

Observation fabric

Telemetry, audit logs, and policy decisions stream into a data spine that compliance can download on demand. Reports are exportable in regulator-ready formats and include immutable evidence linking every trade to its authorisation context.

Governance orchestration

Policy engines align strategy behaviour with board-approved mandates. Approval workflows, escalation ladders, and red-team scenarios are modelled in the same system, giving your governance officers a single source of truth.

How onboarding works

A concierge-led flow designed to minimise operational risk and paperwork redundancy. Each stage has predefined deliverables and named Botchemy owners who stay with you through production cut-over.

Discovery call

We review mandates, liquidity providers, custodians, and regulatory requirements. If there is misalignment, we say so immediately. You receive an alignment memo that summarises what Botchemy can automate, what remains manual, and preconditions for launch.

Due diligence

Encrypted data room with SOC controls, insurance binder, incident retrospectives, and integration sandboxes for your engineers. We include sample policy mappings, redacted incident playbacks, and questionnaires pre-filled to accelerate your internal committees.

Pilot activation

Provisioned credentials with guardrails, weekly desk reviews, and direct Slack/Signal bridge with Botchemy engineering. The concierge team documents every change, coordinates tabletop exercises, and ensures your runbooks stay current.

Production graduation

Once your governance stack signs off, we extend connectivity limits, unlock reporting automations, and schedule joint retrospectives. Production status also unlocks direct access to our enterprise support rotation.

Operational principles

Transparency beats hype. Everything is observable, reversible, and staffed by humans when automation needs oversight. We publish internal SLAs and own incidents end-to-end, even when a partner caused the trigger.

Risk and compliance

Every strategy has predefined risk envelopes, kill switches, and segregation of duties. Compliance teams receive real-time attestations. You can schedule periodic control walkthroughs where our engineers demonstrate live guardrail tests.

Security posture

Post-quantum cryptography, hardware-backed secrets, and zero-trust segmentation applied to every service and integration partner. Third-party penetration tests, adversarial simulations, and shared threat intelligence are packaged for your security team.

Support cadence

24/5 concierge coverage, incident response rehearsals, and transparent roadmap updates with honest blockers when they exist. Leadership receives fortnightly executive readouts summarising performance, known risks, and the next milestones.

Data governance

Data residency, retention, and privacy settings are configurable per jurisdiction. Audit logs are immutable, access-controlled, and exportable for your regulators without relying on Botchemy staff.

Product modules in pilot

The concierge pilot exposes the same control plane we use internally. Each module ships with audited runbooks, service owners, and the guardrails to operate in regulated environments.

Execution automation

Deterministic schedulers orchestrate strategies across exchanges, enforce guardrails, and offer hot-warm failover. Strategy versions, circuit breakers, and approval trails are bundled so your quants can deploy without rewriting governance.

Risk and compliance automation

Policy engines evaluate pre-trade envelopes, position concentration, scenario stress tests, and jurisdiction-specific controls before orders leave the desk. Each breach generates evidence packs aligned to your auditors’ formats.

Telemetry and reporting

Live dashboards track P&L, liquidity, drawdowns, and counterparty exposure. Narrative compliance reports, regulator-ready exports, and board summaries are produced automatically and remain downloadable during audits.

Operations workspace

Runbooks, approvals, incident logs, and counterparty communications live in one workspace. Slack/Signal bridges, incident rehearsal notes, and executive briefings ensure every stakeholder tracks the same truth.

Connectivity and integrations

Botchemy sits between your liquidity venues, custodians, and internal systems. Connectors are monitored 24/5 and ship with playbooks for incident response.

Exchanges and liquidity venues

Prebuilt connectors cover tier-one exchanges, OTC desks, and dark pools with active monitoring for latency and market structure changes. Venue certifications and throttling policies are documented for your engineers.

Custody and settlement

We integrate with institutional custodians, MPC wallets, and on-chain settlement rails. Withdrawal policies, multi-party approvals, and reconciliation hooks are configurable per entity without code changes.

Banking and treasury

Treasury APIs reconcile fiat rails, stablecoin credit lines, and bank sweeps. Automated netting, FX conversion, and cash forecasting keep finance and trading aligned.

Internal systems

REST, GraphQL, webhooks, and SFTP interfaces bridge Botchemy to your risk engines, data lakes, and case-management tools. Service accounts are provisioned with scoped permissions and rotation policies.

Pilot roadmap and upcoming releases

The concierge program ships in waves so you can validate controls before widening access. Below is the current sequence our team is executing.

Certification milestones

SOC 2 Type II evidence window closes this quarter. ISO 27001 design review is underway, and annual red-team exercises are booked with external partners.

Feature unlock schedule

Advanced strategy simulator, expanded derivatives coverage, and automated treasury rebalance tooling move from gated beta to general pilot as soon as validation completes.

Enterprise controls

Granular role-based access, hardware token enforcement, and policy attestation workflows are being rolled out with early participants to ensure auditable change management.

Co-innovation programs

Partner desks can enrol in research sprints covering cross-venue inventory, tokenised assets, and permissioned DeFi. Co-authored playbooks and shared benchmarks become part of the pilot catalogue.

Glossary for non-technical stakeholders

Short definitions to align principals, risk officers, and developers. Use these primers to shortcut executive briefings and board updates.

Post-quantum cryptography

Security methods that resist future quantum attacks, protecting keys even after full launch. Botchemy implements NIST-selected algorithms and rotates materials ahead of mandated timelines.

Strategy orchestration

Coordinating multiple trading bots so they respect shared limits, liquidity windows, and compliance policies. The system enforces version control, approval gates, and post-trade analytics for each strategy.

Observation fabric

Our monitoring layer that records every action for audit, analytics, and regulatory evidence. Data can be mirrored into your secured lakehouse via streaming connectors or retained inside Botchemy-managed storage.

Concierge runway

The window where Botchemy staff shepherd your deployment, typically 6–12 weeks. During this period you receive white-glove change management, executive briefings, and tailored training for each desk.
