Phase 1 - Personal backtest
Use the current Strategy Arena backtester now. The local WASM version remains the next technical layer, without server compute.
Strategy Arena GPU Proof Network
GPUs search. Rust replays. The holdout decides. The network signs the evidence.
The 3-phase roadmap
The local benchmark and browser worker exist. Arena Grid remains a private alpha; distributed raids remain a roadmap.
Phase 2 - GPU Benchmark Contest
Browser worker, non-sensitive micro-workloads, and replicated consensus. This prototype is not yet a certified V2 hardware benchmark.
Phase 3 - Cooperative Themed Raids
Raids of 10 to 50 GPUs validate one pre-registered hypothesis. Each raid targets a publishable paper, with contributor credits.
Why it matters
Anti-2CV at scale
Every raid publicly pre-registers its hypothesis before spending compute. Negative results remain part of the record.
Reproducibility native — see desktop client →
Important slices are replicated across contributors; median consensus rejects outliers.
Citizen science
Passive paper trading becomes active contribution: benchmark, validation, audit, then open paper.
Useful precedents
Folding@home
Distributed compute for biology.
SETI@home
Distributed radio signal analysis.
Numerai Tournament
Market-focused data science tournament.
Kaggle
Standardized public ML benchmarks.
Strategy Arena Research Network combines these precedents with one central constraint: pre-registered, reproducible and falsifiable financial research.
Themed raids preview
These raids are public drafts. They are not active today.
| Raid | Hypothesis | Quorum | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bear Market Survivor 2022 | Which strats survived Q2-Q3 2022 crash? | 10 GPUs | Roadmap draft |
| Halving Cycle 3x | Same strat across 2016/2020/2024 halvings? | 25 GPUs | Roadmap draft |
| Brier vs Sharpe correlation | Does ML calibration predict trading edge? | 50 GPUs | Roadmap draft |
| Vol Regime Crossover | What works in VIX>30 vs VIX<15? | 15 GPUs | Roadmap draft |
| Smart Money Stress Test | SME on 36 months walk-forward strict | 30 GPUs | Roadmap draft |
BROWSER WORKER ALPHA
Try the private alpha
Your browser receives short, non-sensitive public micro-workloads. Outputs are compared through replicated hashes; they do not become a verdict or GPU Proof without Rust replay and holdout.

We notify you when Phase 2 opens. We only collect email, GPU model and estimated availability.
The local benchmark is active. The distributed worker is a private alpha. Raids are a roadmap, not a reservable offer today.
FAQ
Is my data private?
Yes. Computation runs locally; only aggregated metrics needed for consensus are shared.
Will I be paid?
Co-authorship credentials, contributor badges, Pro Researcher credits. No cash/crypto payments for now.
What hardware?
RTX 30/40 ideal, Apple Silicon supported, AMD ROCm coming, CPU fallback for small workloads.
Anti-cheat?
Each critical slice is replicated 3x. Median consensus, outliers rejected, post-raid audit.
