Grvt (pronounced “gravity”) recently announced the launch of “Grvt Strategies”, the world’s first compliant peer-to-peer on-chain investment marketplace. This new addition to Grvt’s crypto product suite addresses the hurdles that exist in the contemporary investment landscape for the ordinary retail investor.
Designed as a peer-to-peer on-chain investment marketplace, Grvt Strategies enables everyday investors to seamlessly discover, access and invest in top-performing strategies. The platform supports the creation of “Strategies” that are professionally curated and managed by some of the top institutional funds, market makers and acclaimed individual traders in the digital asset market.
Retail investors can seamlessly access these strategies through the “Invest” feature on Grvt’s website, making it much easier for them to get started. More importantly, Grvt Strategies is based on the core fundamentals of blockchain technology such as transparency, automation and self-custody, as we will highlight in the next section of this review.
Read on to get a full picture of why Grvt Strategies matters, what investment options are currently available, early adoption incentives and more.
Why Grvt Strategies Matters
According to the 2024 Global Retail Investor Outlook report by the World Economic Forum, there has been an increased market participation by retail investors post-covid, with the number of global stock app users surging by 20% annually.
However, despite this increase, three key challenges have continued to persist; non-participation, under-participation and under-performance. Most individuals are still hesitant to start their investment journey for several reasons, including the awareness of reliable methods to start investing in capital markets and lack of confidence.
There are also those who would be more confident in increasing their exposure if they had more learning opportunities on how to invest, trust in their investment platform or had an AI assistant to guide them through. Inaccessible private markets, high cost barriers and opaque investment products have further compounded the issue, making it difficult for everyday individuals to take meaningful steps toward wealth creation.
This is where Grvt Strategies comes in; a secure blockchain solution powered by ZKsync technology, using smart contract logic to automate the entire investment lifecycle. Every step of the investment process, from depositing to profit distribution, is designed to operate transparently based on smart contract programmable rules. As such, Grvt Strategies eliminates the need for complex manual processes or intermediaries.
Here’s how it works; the platform allows Strategy Managers to deploy their strategies, making them publicly visible through the blockchain. Investors can easily track where their funds are being deployed thus removing the opaque nature of traditional investment platforms. Above all, the Strategies are curated on-chain and are non-custodial, meaning that retail investors directly engage with Strategy Manager without an intermediary and remain in full control of their funds.
Grvt Strategies is also going a notch higher to ensure that only vetted managers qualify to list their offerings – not anonymous DeFi wallets.
What You Can Invest In
What stands out about Grvt Strategy Managers is a mix of solid Tradfi experience, crypto natives and DeFi participation. The platform launched with a cohort of 6 Strategy Managers, all focused on different approaches. This section will highlight the top 4 Strategies that retail investors can readily access:
- AI Alpha Strategy
First on the list is b-cube.ai, an AI-driven crypto quantitative trading platform whose core function is to democratize access to sophisticated algorithmic trading strategies. This service has been traditionally reserved for hedge funds, but with Grvt Strategies, it is now accessible to retail investors. As of writing, this AI Alpha Strategy has already hit an AUM of $253K, with the estimated APR at 70%. The management fee is set at 0%, performance fee at 20%, reward split at 50% while the redemption period is between 7-14 days.
How they trade – the team follows a Quantamental strategy — AI-generated signals, but human-verified. Unlike fully automated systems, they trade only when confident in the signals, adding a layer of scrutiny to maximize profits.
- AllDeFi Quant Directional Strategy
This is another key strategy which is managed by AllDeFi, an alpha strategy provider led by seasoned quants from a top crypto fund with a 7+ year track record. The team has accomplished several milestones, including 18–204% returns in 2024, up to 16% in 2025, and 15–50% APR from arbitrage & momentum strategies over 5 years.

Ampersan’s AUM on Grvt Strategies is at an impressive $500K as of press time while the estimated APR stands at 30%. Similar to the rest, this Strategy Manager has also set the management fee at 0%, the performance fee is at 25% while the reward split is 75%. Notably, there is a shorter redemption period of between 1-7 days.

- Rogue Trader Discretionary
This final strategy is a conception of Rogue Traders, a group of professional, full time traders, running a BTC Options Hedge Fund and a trading academy. The team boasts over 25 years experience across complex market instruments such as derivatives, futures, equities trading and FX structuring. As for the AUM, it is currently hovering around $33K with the estimated APR set at 50%. The management fee is 0%, performance fee 20% while the reward split is anchored at 75% and a redemption period of 4-8 days.
How they trade – The team trades a wide range of markets full time, along with running a BTC options hedge fund – designing and executing sophisticated, systematic volatility strategies.
Strategy Transparency
As you can see from the different investment strategies, Grvt Strategies features a level of transparency that is missing in Tradfi investing. Retail investors can track the different Strategy Managers’ historical performance, methodology and allocation through the blockchain. This is because all operations take place on-chain, increasing the level of transparency.
Grvt Strategies is also set to add 15+ Strategy Managers later this year, with the total value locked (TVL) on the platform expected to hit the $100 million mark by the end of 2025.
How Grvt Strategies Works
Getting started on GRVT Strategies is a seamless endeavour, whether one is a crypto native or completely new to the world of investing in digital assets. Here is step-to-step video guide on how to navigate the platform
Alternatively, you can follow this written format which includes relatable screenshots;
Getting Started
The first step is to visit the official Grvt website; if you don’t have an account, the onboarding process is very simple – it involves an email, password and a picture of a government issued document such as passport or national ID for KYC purposes. Once onboard, the next step is to connect a supported non-custodial wallet such as Metamask or Base and then navigate to Strategies through the ‘Invest’ icon.
Browse Strategies
The second fundamental step is to browse the available strategies. Grvt Strategies enables prospective retail investors to filter their search by key factors such as the risk level, historical returns, asset class and manager credentials.
Analyze a Strategy
Most retail investors may not be pros when it comes to market analysis, Grvt Strategies makes this step simple by allowing users to easily view the strategy profiles of different managers as well as important comparison metrics such as the AUM, APR and sharpe ratio. Beyond this, sophisticated retail investors can consider more technical stats like estimated max drawdown and the specific digital assets that a particular manager trades.
Make an Investment
Once convinced on a certain strategy, the next process is to allocate some funds towards the investment. This involves choosing a specific amount to invest, reviewing the APR to estimate the amount of yield one’s investment is likely to generate. Finally, you have to confirm the allocation through a non-custodial wallet and smart contract interaction.
Track Your Investment
The final and continuous step is to keep track of your investment once the position is locked in. This means tracking real-time performance dashboards, active management by withdrawing funds anytime based on the set withdrawal terms and monitoring the distribution of returns based on the automated smart contracts.
Time-limited Rewards for Early Adopters
Grvt Strategies has also pioneered an incentive program; the initiative targets early adopters and will be running until July 29th. It entails a 20% APR boost on eligible strategies, with all the featured Strategy Managers currently offering this reward.
