About

Verified records, shown whole, nothing else.

CTFY is a transparency layer for DEX traders. We read the whole account from the exchange — from the day it opened, not from the month that looked good — and publish a record anyone can check against the venue it came from.

How it works

Three steps, and the third one is permanent.

Step 1

Connect your DEX

A public wallet address on Hyperliquid, a read-only API key on Extended. We pull every fill from account creation forward.

Step 2

Get measured

Return, max drawdown and the length of the record are computed from the full history, the same way for every account.

Step 3

Build trust

Your profile goes on the leaderboard as a link you can hand to anyone, and readers can subscribe to your live book.

The guarantee

There is no version of this a trader can edit.

The data comes straight from the exchange. A trader cannot delete a losing trade, backdate an entry, pick a start date or quietly begin again: partial imports are rejected at ingestion, and disconnecting an account never returns the lifetime slot it spent. Three accounts, for life, and a disconnected one still spends its slot.

The mechanics of that, in full, are on how verification works.

What is shown

Three figures, and the ledger behind them.

CTFY does not pick a winner. It shows the whole record and you decide. Every figure is recomputed from source on every sync, from the account's first fill, the same arithmetic for everyone.

Return

MAX DD 44%
OPENEDTODAY
Return
Realised profit and loss, net of fees, over the capital the account had at risk: what it started with, plus the most it ever took in net of withdrawals. A deposit lifts the base, so topping up cannot pass for performance.
Max drawdown
The deepest fall of the equity curve from a peak to the low after it, as a share of that peak, across the whole history. A hole that was climbed back out of still counts.
Length of the record
From the account's first fill to its latest, and the closed trades inside that span. Ten trades on a new account does not read like two years, and CTFY leaves you to weigh that.
Beside them
Win rate, Sharpe, trade count and volume, computed from the same fills. None of them is blended into another.
How to read it

Each figure is read next to another.

Return, then drawdown
A large return says little until you see what it cost. Read the drawdown next to it.
Drawdown, then time
A shallow drawdown over a quarter is a quiet quarter. Over years it is a habit.

Questions

What is CTFY?
CTFY is a transparency platform for DEX traders. We pull your full trade history directly from the exchange — from account creation, not just the profitable months — and publish a verified, unfalsifiable track record anyone can check.
How does verification work?
We connect to your DEX account via public wallet address (Hyperliquid) or read-only API key (Extended). Every closed trade, open position, and equity snapshot is synced directly from the exchange. There's no way to cherry-pick or fabricate data — we see everything, from day one.
What does CTFY show for an account?
Return, max drawdown and the length of the record, with win rate, trade count and volume beside them. All of it is computed over the full account lifetime, from the first fill, and none of it is blended into a single mark. CTFY does not pick a winner. You read the record and decide.
Can traders fake their record?
No. The data comes straight from the exchange API. Traders can't delete losing trades, backdate entries, or start fresh. The 'full history from creation' rule is enforced at the protocol level — we reject partial imports.
What does it cost to use CTFY?
Platform access is $2.99/mo per user (trader or viewer) in USDC. Pay from any of 9 EVM chains — Arc, Base, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, Avalanche, Unichain, Linea — and Circle's CCTP settles the payment on Arc, Circle's stablecoin L1, in ~15 seconds. Connecting a DEX trading account is free and counts as one of your 3 lifetime slots.
How do trader subscriptions work?
On top of the $2.99/mo platform access, traders can set a monthly price for their own profile. Subscribers pay in USDC (from any of the 9 supported chains) to unlock the full open-position book, complete trade ledger, and updates as they change. 95% goes to the trader, 5% platform fee. No recurring billing — you choose whether to renew each month.
Which exchanges are supported?
Currently Hyperliquid and Extended (on StarkNet). Both are perpetual DEXs with on-chain settlement. We plan to add more venues over time.
Is my API key safe?
We only accept read-only API keys (Extended). For Hyperliquid, we use your public wallet address — no key required at all. We never have permission to place trades, withdraw funds, or modify your account in any way.
What happens if I disconnect an account?
The profile goes offline but the slot is consumed permanently. This is intentional: it prevents traders from connecting a winning account, building reputation, then disconnecting and reconnecting a different account to hide losses.

More questions — safety, payouts, supported venues, blown accounts and refunds — are answered at length on the FAQ. What it costs is on pricing — $2.99 a month in USDC, payable from any of nine chains, with connecting a trading account free. Anything still missing goes to hello@ctfy.app.
