Differentiation
Rumor is not just another aggregator; it is an infrastructure layer designed for composability. While others offer closed products, we provide the tools to build them.| Feature | Vault Aggregators (Yearn, Beefy) | Single-Protocol Automation | Rumor Strategy Engine |
|---|---|---|---|
| Core Unit | Opaque, static vaults | Specific separate tasks | Transparent, forkable graphs |
| Scope | Single strategy per vault | Usually single-chain/protocol | Multi-protocol & Multi-chain |
| Control | ”Set and forget” | Manual triggers | Long-running jobs with circuit breakers |
Business Model
We prioritize adoption and transparency over token speculation. Our initial phase has no native token, relying instead on a clear, value-based revenue model.Protocol Fees
We charge an execution fee on net inflows into strategies, scaled by risk complexity (e.g., 0.25% for Green/Amber strategies, 0.35% for Red). Additionally, a small cross-chain orchestration fee (basis points on bridged notional) covers the operational costs of monitoring and secure messaging.PRO Subscription
As the platform matures, we will introduce a PRO tier for power users and teams.- Private Strategies: Keep your alpha secret. Strategy graphs remain private in the UI, with only a
planHashcommitted on-chain for verification. - Creator Fees: Strategy authors can attach their own performance or management fees, enforced via on-chain attestations.
- White-label SDK: We enable wallets, neobanks, and funds to embed Rumor’s execution engine directly into their products under their own brand.
Go-To-Market Strategy
Who is Rumor for?
Crypto Funds & Family Offices need programmable automation but struggle with the overhead of maintaining bespoke DevOps infrastructure. Rumor gives them an audit-ready execution environment. DAOs & Protocol Treasuries require transparent yield generation for their idle stablecoins. They need logic that is governance-friendly and inspectable by their community. Power Users want the precision of a custom bot with the ease of a modern UI. They value reusable tools and one-click execution.Adoption Channels
Design Partner Program
We are working directly with select funds and DAOs during our MVP phase. Their feedback helps us calibrate risk classes and refine our governance controls before opening the floodgates.
Embedded Distribution
Rather than just fighting for eyeballs, we integrate where the users are. We ship Rumor-powered strategies inside wallets and frontends that need better yield products but lack the backend infrastructure.
