01The case for active conviction

HODL is noble. Unmanaged, it is also naive.

Your intimate enemy is not the market. It is your own emotions.

The problem

You believe for 10 years.

But you endure every −70% drawdown doing nothing. Conviction is not a strategy for volatility.

The trap

Every easy fix hurts.

Pure HODL absorbs it all. Hand-trading sells the bottom in panic. Fixed-amount DCA buys the same at the euphoric top as at the capitulation low.

The third way

Conviction plus discipline.

Tactical DCA: Regime Vault reads on-chain behavior and adjusts exposure to the cycle. Discipline without emotion.

02How it works

Tactical DCA, driven by an on-chain regime model.

A proprietary model reads real on-chain behavior and resolves it into a single regime, from deep value to euphoria. Exposure follows the regime, not our mood. The model itself stays private. New to the concept? Start with what market-aware DCA is or browse the learn hub.

03Simulated backtested track record

Beats mechanical DCA. Matches Bitcoin at half the drawdown.

A full market cycle, Jan 2020 to Jun 2026, net of every fee. Against the two simplest ways to dollar-cost-average into Bitcoin, a fixed weekly buy and a 50/50 rebalance, the vault finishes with more than double the capital of either (2.1× ahead). It even edges out simply holding Bitcoin, while taking less than half the drawdown.

Past results, not a forecast. The live vault starts in cash and only adds Bitcoin when the strategy signals it, so right now it holds far less than the long-run average shown above. It's early in its first cycle.

* Fixed-rate DCA deploys 1% of capital per week from 100% USDC, taking ~2 years to fully invest, so it structurally lags in a rising market.
Backtest over the Jan 2020 to Jun 2026 reference window, the model-calibration period with full on-chain-data depth, net of all fees (0.5% mgmt, 10% performance on a perpetual high-water mark, 0.1% per trade); idle USDC earns Aave yield (3.5% APY).

04Security & custody

A risk-averse audience trusts honesty over upside.

We are transparent about how the vault holds funds, decides, and protects them.

Built on Lagoon

Regime Vault is built on Lagoon's audited vault contracts (ERC-7540 async vault standard), reviewed by Nethermind. We use Lagoon's battle-tested infrastructure for deposits, withdrawals, and accounting, so our work focuses on the strategy, not on reinventing custody plumbing.

3-of-4 multisig custody

Your funds sit in a public Gnosis Safe on Base, not on an exchange. Moving anything takes 3 of the 4 keys, held on separate devices, so no single person can act alone. Every balance and permission is public.

Aave circuit breakers

Idle stablecoins earn yield on Aave V3, one of the largest and most battle-tested lending protocols in DeFi. We monitor the USDC pool continuously: if utilization crosses a safe threshold, an automated circuit breaker proposes an exit back to the custody Safe before conditions can deteriorate.

0.5% annual management · 10% performance, charged only on new highs (high-water mark, never reset). No deposit or withdrawal fees.

05Questions

Answered plainly.

Tactical DCA, also called market-aware DCA, is dollar cost averaging that adjusts how much it buys to where the market sits in its cycle, instead of investing a fixed amount blindly. Regime Vault implements it with an on-chain regime model that classifies the Bitcoin market into five zones, updated weekly. Read the full explainer.

A proprietary on-chain regime model reads Bitcoin network behavior each week and classifies the market into one of five zones, from deep value to euphoria. Target Bitcoin exposure follows the zone: the vault buys more in value zones and reduces exposure in euphoria. It is a systematic process, not a prediction or a trading-signal service. See how it works.

Straight answer: we do, through a 3-of-4 multisig. Your funds sit in a Gnosis Safe, not on an exchange, and moving anything takes 3 signatures out of 4, held on separate devices by the founder, two associates, and one shared operational key. That group also settles your withdrawal each week, so it is worth knowing what bounds it. The bound is structural: the weekly rebalance does not run through that group at all. It runs through a second, deliberately underpowered 2-of-4 signer set whose scoped on-chain permissions (Zodiac Roles) let it swap between bitcoin and stables on whitelisted venues and settle the weekly cycle, and nothing else. It has no permission to transfer funds out, to any address, so no weekly co-signer can take the money and walk away. The automation that prepares those weekly cycles holds no on-chain power at all: its role was revoked, it can propose and nothing more. Every permission and transaction is public on-chain, and our Telegram group is open if you would rather ask us directly.

Partly, and we would rather be precise than reassuring. The vault contracts are Lagoon Finance's ERC-7540 implementation, audited by Nethermind. Our own integration layer runs off-chain and is not separately audited, so we do not wear an audited badge we have not earned. Instead we removed its power: the automation holds no on-chain role at all (it was revoked), it can only propose, and a human has to co-sign every weekly operation through narrowly scoped permissions. Custody is a separate question from audits: your assets sit in a Gnosis Safe held by the team under a 3-of-4 multisig, public and checkable at any time.

cbBTC is bitcoin held by Coinbase and tokenized 1-to-1 on Base, redeemable 1-to-1 for bitcoin. We use it because it is the most liquid, native way to hold bitcoin exposure on Base. It carries Coinbase counterparty risk, which we accept in exchange for deep liquidity and clean settlement.

When the strategy holds stable assets instead of bitcoin, those stables earn lending yield on Aave V3. The bitcoin side is about cycle-timed exposure, not yield.

Base offers low fees, deep liquidity for the assets we use, and native access to cbBTC and Aave. It lets the vault settle efficiently every week.

Two safeguards. The Aave circuit breaker exits stable positions if pool utilization tightens past a safe threshold. And because custody sits behind multisigs with scoped, on-chain permissions, signers can step in to secure funds at any time.

No. The vault never borrows. It only shifts between bitcoin exposure and stable holdings.
