Verifiable performance.
Private history.
A protocol for turning a trader's real track record into public statements that anyone can check, without publishing a balance, a position or a trade.
Abstract
Financial performance is easy to claim and hard to verify. A screenshot can be edited and a spreadsheet can be curated; the only way to prove more is to hand over the account itself. Linvesther measures performance from read-only connections, expresses it only as ratios, and publishes narrow statements the owner authorizes one by one. Where a stronger guarantee is available, the calculation is proven with a zero-knowledge proof. Ownership and registration are anchored on a public blockchain.
The paper describes the technology and the guarantees it provides, and is explicit about the ones it does not.
Inside
- 01The problem
Why a track record forces a choice between an unbacked number and total exposure.
- 02Identity and ownership
Passkeys, password-derived keys and smart accounts on Base.
- 03Measuring performance
Read-only sources, time-weighted return, drawdown and combined accounts.
- 04Selective disclosure
Claims that reveal a threshold and nothing more.
- 05Zero-knowledge proofs
Showing a result is correct without showing the inputs.
- 06Trust model and limits
Five independent guarantees, and what the system does not defend against.
