Questions and answers

What is Zenko Research?

The public record of an automated trading system run by SF4L S.R.L. for its own account. It publishes how the system is tested and how it performs against holding Bitcoin, not how it trades.

Why do this at all?

To gather data, analyse it, and maybe one day turn what holds up into a service. The order matters: first the proof, then the claim. Until the record is long enough to mean something, the honest thing is to publish the method and the failures and say nothing about success.

Is this investment advice? Can I invest?

No and no. Nothing here is advice, a signal service or an offer. The system is not open to outside capital.

Why is Bitcoin the benchmark?

Because it is the thing a crypto investor could simply have held. Every result on this site is a multiple of holding Bitcoin over the same window, after fees. 1.000 means no better than holding.

What is pre-registration?

Every hypothesis, its prediction and its pass/fail rule are written down and hashed into Bitcoin before the test runs. The result cannot be re-framed afterwards.

What is a shadow book?

A paper book replayed every night through the same engine from go-live, on the same data. Independent rules are judged against holding Bitcoin; variants of the live system against the live book. None is promoted automatically.

What is Kitsunebi?

The proof ledger: a SHA-256 of every batch, verdict and daily snapshot, timestamped into Bitcoin through OpenTimestamps. Anyone can verify a proof with public tools, without trusting us.

What stays private?

The rules, the sizing, the coin universe and the live positions. What is public is how we know, and where we were wrong.

How often is the site updated?

Every day at 00:30 UTC, from the ledgers. Nothing on the site is typed by hand; the data behind every page is downloadable as JSON and JSONL.

Who runs it?

SF4L S.R.L., Bucharest, Romania. Contact [email protected].
