​
What are Clusters?

Clusters are strategic groupings of multiple long and short positions packaged into a single tradable unit. This allows traders to express directional views on broader market narratives or trends, rather than individual assets.

​
Key Features

Narrative-Based Trading: Express views on market narratives like “BTC Dominance,” “Ethereum L2 Growth,” or “AI Tokens” through unified positions. Long-Short Combinations: Gain exposure to relative price movements by simultaneously going long on certain assets and short on others. Pre-Made Clusters: Choose from professionally designed Clusters or create your own custom combinations to match your market thesis. Customizable Weights: Adjust the weighting of individual assets within a Cluster to fine-tune your exposure and risk profile.

​
How Clusters Work

Clusters allow you to express complex market views through unified positions: For example, if you believe in Bitcoin dominance increasing:
  1. Create a Cluster that goes long on Bitcoin
  2. Add short positions on altcoins you expect to underperform
  3. Set your preferred weights for each position
  4. Trade the entire Cluster as a single unit

​
Example Clusters

​
BTC vs Blue Chips

BTC (Long)50%
ETH (Short)25%
SOL (Short)25%

This Cluster expresses a bullish view on Bitcoin’s dominance relative to leading altcoins.

​
Ethereum L2’s

ZK (Long)33%
OP (Long)33%
ARB (Long)34%

This Cluster expresses a bullish view on the Ethereum Layer 2 ecosystem.

​
Dynamic Funding Strategy

BERA (Long)25%
Trump (Long)25%
OSMO (Short)25%
TIA (Short)25%

This Cluster capitalizes on funding rate differentials across various assets.

​
Benefits of Cluster Trading

  • Narrative Exposure: Gain exposure to thematic market movements rather than individual assets
  • Simplified Management: Manage multiple positions through a single interface
  • Reduced Transaction Costs: Execute complex strategies with fewer individual trades
  • Balanced Risk: Diversify within a theme while maintaining directional exposure
  • Capital Efficiency: Deploy capital across multiple positions with a single transaction

​
Creating and Using Clusters

Define Narrative: Identify the market trend or thesis you want to express → Select Assets: Choose which assets to go long and short → Set Weights: Determine capital allocation for each position → Deploy Capital: Execute your strategy with a single transaction and monitor performance

​
Use Cases

Sector Rotation: Create Clusters that express views on one sector outperforming another, such as DeFi vs CeFi or NFTs vs Gaming. Market Hedging: Establish hedge positions against your existing portfolio by creating inverse Clusters to specific market segments. Trend Following: Capitalize on emerging market narratives by creating Clusters aligned with developing trends.
