Discovery is a central theme of SZN0. While depositors are discovering talented traders to manage their capital, the Valio team has been discovering ways to improve the platform for all users. Refining UI, enhancing lines of communication, and expanding the list of trading venues have all been focal points in the development pipeline. The past month has seen several upgrades and initiatives go live, with more to come in the next few weeks. Time for a look back at what has been shipped and a preview of what’s in store.

Recent Upgrades

Featured Vaults

Featured Vaults on the home page went live last week, showcasing the highest-performing and most popular vaults to deposit with. Capital tends to flow where it is utilized most effectively, whether a new vault from a well-established CT trader or an anon consistently nailing market moves. This is your place to find a constantly evolving list of these top-tier managers.

The Trade Memos Feed

This brand-new feature is integrated directly into the Valio Discord. Memos allow managers to detail their trade reasoning as they enter and exit positions, giving depositors insight into whether they’re getting lucky or truly possess an edge. Smart depositors can now incorporate this feed into their due diligence process, so head over to the #memo-bot channel to get a real-time view of what all the managers are saying about their trades.

If you’re a manager who wants to get a lay of the land and see what other traders are doing, the memo bot is your new best friend: think of it as a constant feed of alpha.

Shipping Soon

Kwenta joins the roster of trading venues next, a much-anticipated integration that enables leverage trading on a litany of tokens. Spanning 75+ markets, Kwenta’s perp selection covers blue chips, altcoins, stables, and even RWAs like gold. Keep an eye on Twitter for the official announcement when Kwenta x Valio goes live.

New Initiatives

Trade Against the Machine

A vault actively managed by a GPT-generated TA bot came online last week. It examines metrics like RSI Divergence & Bollinger Bands to recommend trades, primarily for BTC & ETH. If your vault can outperform the bot (currently +1.3% returns) over the next 4 weeks, you’ll collect 4 extra Rewards Chest spins.

Manager Deep Dives

Last week we took a look inside PerfectGent’s top-performing D.I.T.R vault. Get insight into his entry/exit strategy, risk framework, leverage usage, and more in our Deep Dive. PerfectGent’s vault is an excellent example of how Valio allows depositors to leverage a trader’s expertise and research as he analyzes BTC liquidity conditions to identify high-leverage, short-timeframe trade opportunities. Expect a second Deep Dive with another top manager coming soon.

Coming Up

As you can see, we’re very busy working to make Valio the best experience possible for depositors and managers. Have something you’re eager to see implemented or improved? Let us know in the Discord how we can improve.

On the docket for the coming weeks is to build a better view for the “My Positions” page so that you can get a more holistic view of your holdings on Valio. Profile pages will give you all you need to know about a manager before depositing with them. And last but not least, the elusive private Telegram chat for manager-to-depositor communication.

Stay tuned with all of it on our Twitter, and keep racking those SZN0 rewards!
