# Overview

Traders can now turn their edge into a fund. Trade at scale, attract capital, and build a verifiable track record.

Launch a fund, configure its rules, deposit capital, and execute across integrated venues.&#x20;

Contributors deposit capital to become a member, and receive proportional ownership via non-transferable SHARES tokens.&#x20;

### How it works

Each fund is a standalone entity with its own treasury and rules. Fund assets are held in a smart contract wallet over which Admins have control.

Admins execute trades through the fund's execution layer. Supported venues include Hyperliquid (perpetuals), Polymarket (prediction markets), and ERC-20 token swaps. Trades route from the fund treasury, not your personal wallet.

Funds can be configured with allocation limits, drawdown thresholds, protocol whitelists, and duration constraints at the vault level. These policies are enforced by smart contracts and cannot be overridden during execution.

### What operators do

* Create a fund&#x20;
* Set configurations (fees, min. pledge, lock-ups, etc.)
* Deposit capital to seed the treasury
* Trade through integrated venues
* Manage vaults with independent strategies and risk parameters
* Raise capital from your network or attract capital from the Rayze ecosystem

### What this builds over time

Your fund's performance, positions, and governance activity are visible in real time. This is your track record - permanent and verifiable.

Operators who perform well attract contributors. Contributors bring capital. Funds that grow can collect management and performance fees, configured at the fund level. The better your record, the more capital flows to you.
