Quantitative SMA, run in the client's own exchange account
zenAsset is a systematic trading service for HNW individuals and funds. Strategies run under delegated order authority on the client's account, and every figure is reported against exchange fill records. Built by AYC Fund — Y Combinator W22.
Ranked #1 over frontier AI and institutional teams — tallied by the exchange
Bybit's AI vs. Human: 1-on-1 Trading Showdown was an exchange-run AI trading contest. Frontier AI squads (ChatGPT · Gemini · Claude · DeepSeek) and institutional teams (AWS SageMaker, Alibaba Cloud, and others) competed live on real accounts from 6–27 March 2026.
AYC Fund finished AI rank #1 at +14.82% PnL. Rankings and returns are on Bybit's official contest page — exchange-tallied figures, not self-reported marketing numbers.
Contest results reflect a specific period and conditions and may differ from client-account performance. zenAsset runs validated strategy families from the same infrastructure, configured to each client's risk profile.
Four steps from connection to reporting
Connect an account
Connect API credentials for an exchange account in the client's name. Keys are encrypted with AWS KMS and are never shown again.
Verify permissions
A permission checklist and automatic preflight run immediately. Only accounts that pass verification become eligible to trade.
Run the strategy
Choose Conservative, Balanced, or Aggressive — or book a 1:1 call for risk-profile-based configuration.
Evidence-based reporting
Every figure is reconciled to exchange fills. Unconfirmed values are shown as UNKNOWN — never coerced to zero.
The operating stack is the trust surface
ARisk presets + tailored setup
Start from three validated presets. Tailored parameters require a 1:1 call — clients do not free-form edit numbers in self-serve.
BGlobal kill switch
One control to halt or resume trading across every connected account, held by the client.
CKey security · mandatory 2FA
API credentials are encrypted with AWS KMS. Every account requires two-factor authentication.
DTruth-based reporting
Reporting is grounded in what the exchange API can prove — not an internal ledger alone. Unreconciled states stay UNKNOWN.
EFour venues
Bybit · Bitget · Binance · Hyperliquid. No hard cap on connected accounts.
FRealized PnL only
Performance figures in reports use realized PnL. Unrealized marks are not used to inflate results.
We report realized PnL only
Figures below are realized PnL verified against exchange fill records.
