# Deltearing

*/Startups/Deltearing*

## Startup Overview

This financial infrastructure platform normalizes and clears digital asset trade deltas instantly. Institutional trading desks and crypto-native asset managers face constant settlement risk when forced to manually reconcile high-volume transaction data across fragmented exchanges. Rather than waiting hours to identify execution discrepancies, operations teams use this system to match and verify trade data the moment a transaction completes.

Competing platforms like Lukka and Cryptio rely on delayed batch processing, while traditional back-office teams default to error-prone spreadsheet reconciliation. Built as an API-native engine, this solution ingests raw exchange feeds continuously, calculating and clearing deltas without manual intervention. By eliminating the latency of legacy reconciliation tools, trading firms close out exceptions in real time and unlock capital previously trapped in settlement limbo.

## Startup Offer

**Proof**:
- Targeting zero-latency margin visibility for mid-frequency proprietary trading shops.
- Aims to eliminate batch-reconciliation bottlenecks during periods of high crypto market volatility.
- Designed to normalize over 50 distinct exchange and OTC data formats into a single unified clearing stream.
**Tiers**:
- Name: Growth Routing · Price: ~$0.02–$0.05 per trade delta · Inclusions: Up to 250,000 monthly cleared transactions, read-only connectors for major spot exchanges, standard REST API access.
- Name: Institutional Stream · Price: ~$0.008–$0.02 per trade delta · Inclusions: Up to 5,000,000 monthly cleared transactions, OTC desk parsing capabilities, sub-second websocket streaming access.
- Name: Dedicated Node · Price: Custom quote (typically targeting ~$40k–$80k/yr) · Inclusions: Unlimited clearing volume, isolated compute instances, custom proprietary ledger integrations, uptime SLA.
**Guarantee**: Guarantees sub-second data normalization latency for all supported spot exchange feeds, or your clearing volume costs for the affected hour are fully credited.
**Business Function**: ProvideService
**Objection Handlers**:
- Objection: We already rely on Cryptio or Lukka for our accounting sync. Rebuttal: Deltearing acts as a live clearing layer for active risk management, designed to feed pre-normalized data into those retroactive accounting tools.
- Objection: OTC desk trade tickets are too messy for instant automated clearing. Rebuttal: The ingestion pipeline aims to instantly parse unstructured chat and email tickets into the standard delta schema.
- Objection: Real-time API polling will hit our exchange rate limits. Rebuttal: The system is designed to utilize lightweight websocket streams rather than aggressive REST polling, preserving your exchange API limits for execution.

## Startup Buyer Chain

**Chain**: Deltearing → Digital Asset OTC Desks & Prime Brokers → Institutional Crypto Funds
**Gtm Motion**: Acquires initial pilot customers through direct technical sales to middle-office heads, running parallel real-time reconciliations against their existing batch processes. Expands by upselling volume-based API tiers as trading frequency and exchange-connection counts increase.
**Agent Channel**: Intended to list its real-time clearance endpoints in structured integration catalogs like the LangChain tool registry and AgentProtocol schemas, allowing autonomous middle-office agents to discover and call the reconciliation API directly.
**Primary Channel**: Direct outbound targeting COOs and CTOs at digital asset trading firms, supplemented by capturing high-intent search traffic for 'real-time crypto reconciliation API' and 'Lukka API alternatives'.

## Startup Proof Points

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

**Pilot Goals**:
- A 14-day shadow pilot with a mid-frequency trading firm, aiming to process 250,000 live trades in parallel with their existing systems to prove the sub-second normalization latency guarantee.
- A 30-day proof-of-concept with a crypto OTC desk, targeting the successful automated ingestion and parsing of 500 unstructured chat and email trade tickets without manual intervention.
**Target Metrics**:
- Target: Sub-second data normalization latency across all supported spot exchange feeds.
- Aim: 100% elimination of REST API rate limit breaches previously caused by retroactive accounting syncs.
- Target: Reduction in OTC trade ticket parsing time from manual minutes to automated sub-second ingestion.
- Aim: 5,000,000 cleared transactions per month per institutional client with zero batch-processing delays.
**Target Case Studies**:
- A mid-frequency proprietary trading shop that eliminates batch-reconciliation bottlenecks during high crypto market volatility to achieve zero-latency margin visibility.
- A crypto OTC desk that replaces manual trade entry by using the ingestion pipeline to instantly parse unstructured chat and email tickets into a standard delta schema.
- An institutional digital asset fund that unifies 50 distinct exchange data formats into a single clearing stream while preserving execution API limits via websocket connections.
**Testimonial Targets**:
- Chief Risk Officer at a proprietary trading firm expressing that the live clearing layer finally enables real-time active risk management rather than just retroactive accounting.
- Head of Trading Operations at an OTC desk validating that the automated parsing of unstructured chat tickets completely unblocked their settlement pipeline.
- CTO of a digital asset fund confirming that the shift to lightweight websocket streams protected their exchange API limits for crucial trade execution.

## Startup Top Risks

**Risks**:
- Severity: existential · Description: Major digital asset exchanges revoke or severely rate-limit real-time API access, nullifying the instant clearing differentiator. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: high · Description: Normalization algorithms misinterpret edge-case trade parameters across different liquidity pools, causing cascading clearing failures. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: moderate · Description: Incumbent batch-processing competitors like Lukka or Cryptio release real-time API clearing modules to their existing institutional client base. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: low · Description: Institutional trading desks require custom on-premise deployments instead of the cloud-native API, significantly delaying sales cycles. · Mitigation Status: mitigated
