About Assay
Assay is an independent commercial verifier of crypto and DeFi manager performance. We are modeled on the role that ACA Group, Confluence Technologies, and Alpha FMC play in traditional finance — but built natively for crypto markets. We compute Time-Weighted Return per the Global Investment Performance Standards, enforce pre-registered benchmarks, and publish a Manager Universe that is the canonical reference for LP discovery of verified crypto managers.
To bring the credibility infrastructure that hedge funds use in traditional finance to crypto for the first time. Pre-register your benchmark, connect your accounts, turn your track record into something LPs can trust.
Founded in 2026 by a CFA charterholder with a Waterloo math background and eight years of operating crypto and AI ventures across Southeast Asia. The founder previously directed the Thai-Canadian Chamber of Commerce and currently serves as Executive Director of OpenWorm.
The thesis: the post-FTX trust collapse created allocator demand for verification that didn't exist before 2022; CFA Institute has not extended GIPS to crypto, leaving a wide standards gap that a commercial verifier can fill; and the operational infrastructure to do this work at scale — exchange APIs, custody integrations, wallet-clustering tools — is finally mature.

We're hiring across verification engineering, methodology authoring, and allocator coverage. Open roles are listed once published. In the meantime, if you have crypto-native fund administration experience or have built quant/risk infrastructure at an institutional manager, [email protected] wants to hear from you.
