Assay

Manager Universe

Verified crypto and DeFi managers, on a single methodology layer.

Each row shows performance computed by Assay; the muted row directly beneath shows the manager's locked-in benchmark over the same horizons. Filter by tier, strategy, AUM bucket, or raising status.

Illustrative — pre-launch sample data, not actual manager performance.

Methodology note. All returns are Time-Weighted (TWR) per GIPS Provision 2, computed from primary sources where the tier permits (read-only API and on-chain). 1Y, 3Y, 5Y, and 10Y figures are annualized; we only annualize windows of 12 months or longer. Risk metrics (Sharpe, Sortino, Max DD) are reported over the trailing 36 months where available.

Benchmark policy.Each manager's benchmark is locked at engagement scoping. We do not retroactively change benchmarks. Where a manager runs a multi-asset book without a clean off-the-shelf benchmark, the engagement memo specifies a custom blended benchmark.
