Yield-as-a-Service for Exchanges and Custodians

Earn products drive retention — but running strategies is not your business. Neutral Trade powers exchange earn programs with professionally managed, on-chain strategies under your brand.

Yield-as-a-Service for Exchanges and Custodians

For an exchange or custodian, an earn program is table stakes: users compare platforms on what idle balances can do. But most earn products look identical — simple staking or lending passthroughs with rates that compress as every venue offers the same thing. Building differentiated yield in-house means becoming an asset manager, with all the operational and risk overhead that implies.

Neutral Trade gives exchanges and custodians a third option: embed a curated marketplace of quantitative trading strategies directly in your platform.

How it works with Neutral Trade

Neutral Trade runs non-custodial smart-contract vaults on Solana, each operated by an independent professional trading firm — funding-rate arbitrage, market making, systematic trend following, and lending strategies. Users have deposited more than $200 million since launch.

Your exchange integrates these vaults as white-labeled earn products. Users move funds in and out inside your existing interface; strategy execution, reporting, and fee accounting happen on Neutral Trade's infrastructure. You control the product surface and keep the customer relationship.

What you get

Commercial

  • A visibly differentiated earn offering: professionally managed strategies rather than the same staking rates every competitor lists.
  • Revenue share on distributed products — your earn tab becomes a profit center.
  • Stickier balances: capital allocated to a strategy with a redemption period stays on your platform instead of chasing the next promo rate.

Product and operations

  • Integration through Neutral Trade's API and SDK (documented at https://docs.neutral.trade), designed to slot into existing exchange and custody stacks.
  • Granular, real-time performance data from on-chain vaults for your UI, statements, and reporting.
  • Clear fee mechanics your users can audit: an annual service fee plus a commission charged only on profits above each user's individual high-water mark — no profit, no commission.

Trust and transparency

  • Non-custodial vault architecture: trading firms receive trading authority only and cannot withdraw user funds.
  • On-chain verifiable balances, with institutional custody infrastructure where strategies access trading venues.
  • Published risk profiles, fees, and redemption periods for every vault. All trading strategies carry risk and deposits are not insured — the difference is that with Neutral Trade, users can see exactly what they hold.
