# Balancelaunch

*/Startups/Balancelaunch*

## Startup Overview

This platform normalizes and categorizes fragmented digital asset portfolios for institutional allocators. It ingests raw transaction data across multiple custodians, exchanges, and wallets, and translates incompatible on-chain and off-chain records into a unified, audit-ready ledger.

Institutions managing crypto and tokenized assets struggle to reconcile positions using manual consolidation or disjointed spreadsheets. The system eliminates this data friction by applying standard financial categorization to disparate feeds. It delivers a continuous, normalized view of daily holdings, tax lots, and cost bases.

Unlike consumer-grade portfolio trackers like CoinTracker or legacy wealth management systems like Addepar, the architecture is API-native and built exclusively for digital asset data complexity. It operates on an outcome-priced model for institutional scale, ensuring funds pay for fully reconciled data delivery rather than rigid software seat licenses or per-wallet connection fees.

## Startup Offer

**Proof**:
- Aim to process over 1 million transactions daily for mid-sized crypto funds without requiring manual reconciliation interventions
- Target a 90% reduction in end-of-month portfolio reconciliation time for institutional wealth managers
- Aim to correctly map 95% of new DeFi smart contract interactions within 24 hours of protocol deployment
**Tiers**:
- Name: Standard Volume · Price: ~$0.15–$0.30 per categorized transaction · Inclusions: API access to top 50 blockchain networks and major exchanges, standard DeFi protocol categorization, and daily batch syncing for up to 100,000 monthly transactions.
- Name: Institutional Scale · Price: ~$0.02–$0.08 per categorized transaction · Inclusions: Automated NFT and liquidity pool token pricing, obscure L2 protocol support, priority mapping for newly deployed smart contracts, and real-time webhook updates.
- Name: Dedicated Infrastructure · Price: ~$4,000–$8,000/mo base + volume overages · Inclusions: Custom institutional categorizations, direct data-warehouse syncing designed for Snowflake/Addepar integration, and custom monthly transaction volume caps.
**Guarantee**: Guarantees 99.9% API uptime and a 98% transaction categorization success rate for supported networks; failures to meet these thresholds result in full refunds for the affected billing period's transaction fees.
**Business Function**: ProvideService
**Objection Handlers**:
- Data privacy: 'We cannot share client wallet mappings with an external API.' -> The system is designed to process raw public addresses only; account-to-client identity mapping remains securely isolated on your internal servers.
- Protocol coverage: 'DeFi protocols upgrade constantly, breaking standard categorizations.' -> The pipeline automatically flags unrecognized contract interactions and routes them to a 24-hour SLA mapping queue to prevent persistent errors.
- Cost predictability: 'Outcome pricing means our bill spikes during high-volatility trading months.' -> Institutional tiers are structured with absolute monthly billing ceilings to ensure cost predictability regardless of market activity.

## Startup Proof Points

_Illustrative — target and order-of-magnitude estimate figures, not an achieved track record (this Thing is concept-stage)._

**Pilot Goals**:
- 30-day historical data backfill pilot for a crypto fund aimed at proving a 98 percent categorization success rate across the top 50 blockchain networks before live webhook integration
- 60-day parallel run pilot alongside existing manual workflows for an institutional wealth manager to demonstrate a 90 percent drop in manual categorization hours while testing the direct Snowflake data-warehouse sync
**Target Metrics**:
- Target: 90 percent reduction in end-of-month portfolio reconciliation hours
- Aim: 98 percent transaction categorization success rate across supported networks
- Target: 24-hour turnaround time for mapping unrecognized DeFi smart contract interactions
- Aim: 1,000,000 daily transactions processed per institutional deployment
**Target Case Studies**:
- Mid-sized crypto fund target: Demonstrate processing over 1,000,000 daily transactions across major exchanges without requiring manual reconciliation interventions
- Institutional wealth manager target: Validate a 90 percent reduction in end-of-month portfolio reconciliation time by routing L2 protocol data directly into Addepar integrations
- DeFi accounting firm target: Prove the system maps 95 percent of new smart contract interactions within 24 hours of protocol deployment
**Testimonial Targets**:
- VP of Operations at a crypto hedge fund expressing relief that high-volatility trading months do not cause unpredictable billing spikes due to absolute monthly ceilings
- Lead Data Engineer at an institutional wealth manager confirming the API securely processes raw public addresses while keeping account-to-client identity mapping isolated on internal servers
- Head of Accounting praising the automated L2 protocol support and liquidity pool token pricing that eliminates manual spreadsheet mapping

## Startup Top Risks
