New here? The fastest path from nothing to a running account is five pages long: Create an account → Secure your account → Verify your identity → Fund your account → Choose a signal plan.
Where to go
The short version
Each step is a page in Getting started. Nothing in the chain is optional except the last one.What BlackQuant never does
These are structural guarantees, not policy promises — they follow from how the system is built, and the custody model explains why.- It never holds your private keys.
- It never has withdrawal permission on your wallet.
- It never places an order from the signal engine. The engine measures and publishes; it cannot move money. See Signal Engine.
- It never pays referral commission on a deposit — only on a purchase. See Referral Hub for why that distinction matters.
Status and transparency
- Audits — the full third-party reports are published unedited, with the scope each firm actually reviewed, at Audit reports.
- Uptime — the public status page is published by an external monitor watching
/api/health, deliberately hosted off this infrastructure. - Contracts — the on-chain contracts are open source at github.com/Blackquant-labs/blackquant-contract.
- Changelog — every notable change is recorded in the changelog.
