push Vaults Live, Rebuild vip service
Tradetomato Vaults are live on BSC mainnet and in active production testing right now. First access goes to vip clients, with a controlled rollout from there. In parallel, we're rebuilding the systems underneath our VIP Service.
Week 2
Building out Vault setup and analytics
Vaults
- Tradetomato Vaults are live on BSC mainnet in a production testing environment. As with our biggest releases, VIP gets hands-on first, ahead of a controlled wider rollout.new
VIP Service
- Rebuilding the VIP Service from the ground up. Having battle-tested our methodology across different markets and conditions, we started building new institutional-grade systems underneath them; faster, more powerful, and with access to far more data.building
Week 1
Vaults hit mainnet
Vaults
- We're strengthening every execution path before the Vaults take on capital at scale. Stress-testing the contracts and surrounding system against real on-chain conditions.building
- Building the bridge between our core strategy system and the Vault infrastructure. We're setting up the layer that turns a strategy signal into an executed on-chain trade automatically.building
May 2026
Sharpen VIP, push Vaults the last mile
May came down to two things: driving the Tradetomato Vaults forward through the final stretch towards mainnet and reimagining the systems underneath the VIP service towards being more capable of handling our methodologies.
Week 4
Sharpening the VIP client experience
VIP Service
- Clarified and codified how VIP fees apply under high-watermark accounting. Performance fees are charged only on profit above your previous peak, so after a drawdown you pay nothing until the service has recovered your losses and made new gains.improved
- Refined VIP onboarding so qualification and next steps are explicit. The flow now tells a prospective client whether they meet the criteria and exactly what follows, replacing back-and-forth with a clear path from interest to onboarding.improved
- Began mapping out the infrastructure under our VIP services with the focus of making it faster, more powerful, and capable of processing large sets of data.building
Platform, Insights & UX
- Ahead of building them, we mapped out the VIP and Vault reporting dashboards in detail defining the views (reporting, inventory, activity, risk, etc.) that clients will use to see how their capital is performing and where it sits.building
Week 3
Driving Vaults toward mainnet
Vaults
- Got the full Vault execution stack running end to end in a local environment, with swap instructions flowing through the live messaging system. This proved to us that the pipeline from strategy decision to on-chain swap works as one connected system, not just isolated parts.improved
- Testing the PancakeSwap adapter and router against the updated Vault execution flow; verifying Vault trades route correctly through PancakeSwap and settle at the expected price.improved
- Kept running continuous deployment tests on the Vault system as it approached mainnet; repeatedly deploying and exercising the full stack so that, by launch, the deploy path itself is proven to work as intended.building
- Set up the first-time deployment of Vaults to BSC mainnet; staging the exact launch process against real on-chain conditions so the live deployment is a rehearsed step.building
Week 2
Building out Vault setup and analytics
Vaults
- Began the groundwork to run Vaults across multiple chains, abstracting the execution layer so the same Vault logic can deploy beyond the BNB Smart Chain (BSC) later, opening more networks and markets to put capital to work.building
- Specified the Vault analytics you'll rely on (TVL, active vaults, transaction counts, volume, fees, etc.), defining exactly what gets tracked and shown before the dashboard is built.building
- Prepared the creator dashboard to connect directly to Vaults, setting up the flows a strategy creator uses to launch, fund, and manage a Vault.building
- Refactored the Vault creation flow and wallet chain-switching. Connecting a wallet and switching it to the right chain to spin up a Vault is now a clean, guided step instead of a manual juggle.improved
Week 1
Tightening up Service Insights reporting
Platform, Insights & UX
- Fixed the reliability issues that made Service Insights occasionally report inconsistent figures, the same query now returns the same numbers every time.fixed
- Corrected the styling of the VIP Service dashboard so that performance charts render consistently; fixed axes, scales, and formatting that varied between reports, so the same data always looks the same and reads the same way.fixed
April 2026
Faster Insights, steadier foundations
In April the updates ran quiet on the surface, but went deep underneath. We made the platform quicker where you feel it most, sharpened how VIP performance reads, and continued groundwork on the Vault infrastructure.
Week 4
Clearer VIP performance summaries
VIP Service
- Started pairing each VIP service result with a performance summary, alongside the raw numbers. Your VIP report now states how the service performed and why, so reading it doesn't require interpreting the figures yourself.improved
Week 3
Speeding up the reporting views you use most
Platform, Insights & UX
- Optimized the queries behind the most-used reporting views, rewritting the ones causing slow loads so key Insights dashboards return quickly, even on accounts with more history.fixed
Week 2
Getting Vault nodes production-ready
Vaults
- Continued strengthening the Vault deployment infrastructure toward production-ready nodes to improve reliabilitybuilding
Week 1
Sharper reporting, sturdier connections
Platform, Insights & UX
- Updated the Service Insights views so a performance review reads clearly at a glance.improved
Connections & Inventory
- Fixed service state handling to tolerate non-standard service behavior, when a connected service reports state in an unexpected way, the platform handles it gracefully instead of erroring, so one misbehaving service doesn't break the view.fixed
March 2026
A stability sweep
In March we rane a wide stability sweep across the surfaces you touch every day, taking the friction out of wallets and Insights, make every Vault action easy to watch, and training our strategy system to raise a hand before a problem ever reaches you.
Week 4
Earlier warnings on strategy health
Algorithms & Services
- Added health checks that monitor a live service's behavior and flag early signs of degradation. Any drift in its predictions or a break from expected patterns raises a warning before the service's decisions start costing you.new
Week 3
Safer wallets, smoother sign-in
Platform, Insights & UX
- Rewrote the slow queries behind Service Insights so the heavy reporting views load fast and stay responsive as your data grows.improved
- Built a clear wallet-management section in the user settings. Every connected wallet is listed and controllable on its own, so you decide exactly which wallets have access.improved
- You can no longer remove the wallet you're currently signed in with. The action is blocked for your active wallet, so you can't accidentally lock yourself out of your own session.fixed
- Fixed the sign-in failure paths that could strand you mid-login. A failed signature or dropped handshake now recovers gracefully and returns you to a clean retry instead of a dead state.fixed
- Hardened wallet sign-in with domain whitelisting. Sign-in is only valid on our approved domains, closing a "man-in-the-middle" phishing vector where a look-alike site could spoof the wallet prompt.fixed
Algorithms & Services
- Optimized the backtest scan speed so that large backtests are faster and allow for rapid iterations during the strategy review process.improved
Week 2
Easier wallet access
Vaults
- Brought the Vault creation flow onto the same wallet-connection experience as the rest of the app.improved
Platform, Insights & UX
- Moved wallet access to a fixed entry point in the app header. Your wallet is in the same place on every screen, one click away, instead of tucked into different menus.improved
Week 1
Clearer Vault activity, steadier Insights
Vaults
- Made Vault activity across the whole execution flow more visible, so you can follow exactly what a Vault is doing rather than seeing only the end result.improved
- Standardized how we read and decode on-chain events across every supported contract, so Vault activity is captured the same accurate way no matter which contract emitted it.improved
Connections & Inventory
- Validating orders against real exchange behavior in a controlled rollout before going live. Checking if what we expect an exchange to accept matches what it actually does, so that invalid orders are caught by us instead of rejected mid-trade.building
Algorithms & Services
- Extended the optimizer's forward-looking volatility capability with a probability-matrix model. This makes it so that strategies can anticipate shifting marketing conditions earlier and position for a move before it arrives.improved
Platform, Insights & UX
- Refactored the internals of the Service Insights to remove the instability behind intermittent load failures. The views render reliably now instead of occasionally erroring or showing stale data.fixed
- Added a benchmark comparison to Service Insights. You can line a service's performance up against a reference benchmark in the same view, so a return figure comes with the context of whether it actually beat the alternative.new
- Implimented a more stable WalletConnect mechanism. As a result, users will experience fewer dropped sessions and reconnection loops.improved
February 2026
Engine-room work
In February, we dig into recovery, reconciliation, and strategy controls. The strategy systems decides whether your execution holds up when markets turn violent, or wether the optimized chases strategies that endure.
Week 4
Durable strategies and self-healing Vaults
Vaults
- Improved how a Vault reconciles its expected state against actual on-chain state. A divergence is now caught earlier and repaired from the chain record, so a Vault drifting out of sync corrects itself before it affects execution.improved
Connections & Inventory
- Traced a class of OKX position discrepancies back through full transaction history; reconciling six months of records find where reported and actual positions diverged, then corrected the tracking so your OKX positions match the exchange's own ledger.improvedfixed
- Rebuilding OKX and Binance inventory tracking on a delta-based mode. Instead of periodically re-reading full balances, each order fill is applied as an incremental change, so tracked inventory stays exact and in line with the exchange in real-time.building
Algorithms & Services
- Changed what the optimizer optimizes for. Strategies are now ranked on durability (consistent behavior across conditions) rather than peak backtest return, so a strategy that scored highest only by curve-fitting the past no longer wins.improved
- Tested robustness of strategies by adding constraints that reject unstable parameter sets during optimization. Combinations of strategies, whose performance swings wildly on small input changes are filtered out. improved
- Added "time-underwater" to how drawdown is scored. Measured at the equity-curve level, not just per trade, so a strategy is judged not only by how deep it falls but by how long it takes to recover.improved
- Tied risk sizing directly to realized market movement. Position size now automatically scales to how much the market is actually moving, so exposure tightens in turbulent conditions and opens up when things are calm.new
- Expanded the neutral-strategy blueprint that entry and exit logic is tested against; a wider, tougher set of baseline scenarios, so new entry and exit rules must prove themselves across more conditions before they ship.improved
- Added a profit-trailing fallback for low-volatility exits. When the statistical layer doesn't recognize the exit trigger, a secondary rule still locks in gains, so a flat, quiet market no longer leaves a winning position un-exited.new
Week 3
Tighter reconciliation, cleaner connections
Vaults
- Deliberately narrowed the Vault rollout scope to ship the core mainnet milestone first rather than everything at once, fewer moving parts into production means a more stable first release for the capital that goes in.improved
- Added relayer selection and pre-flight wallet balance checks to Vault execution, before a transaction is sent, the system picks a healthy relayer and confirms the wallet can cover gas and funds, so trades that would have failed on-chain are caught and avoided before they cost a failed-tx fee.new
Connections & Inventory
- Strengthened the reconciliation logic behind inventory checks, so mismatches between tracked and exchange-reported holdings are flagged and resolved more aggressively.improved
- Started building automated exchange inventory reconciliation; a process that continuously compares our tracked holdings against each exchange's reported balances and resolves drift on its own, so your balances stay synced.building
- Added detection for duplicate API connections at setup; if the same exchange key is connected twice, it's caught up front instead of surfacing later as conflicting account state.improved
- Reworked the 'create' and 'edit' connection flows to validate API credentials inline and explain failures in plain terms, a bad key or missing permission now tells you exactly what's wrong while you set it up.improved
Algorithms & Services
- Widened the volatility range the strategy optimizer tests across. This means that strategies offered to you have been stress-tested and proven against more extreme, calm and turbulent market conditions.new
Platform, Insights & UX
- Redesigned the portfolio cards so the figures you check most (balance, holdings, P&L, etc.) can be seen at a glance. improved
Week 2
Vaults that recover from interruptions
Vaults
- Made Vaults recover from an interrupted execution by replaying real on-chain event history rather than estimating where they left off. If a run is cut short, the Vault reconstructs it's exact previous state from on-chain data and resumes correctly, with no double-spends or missed steps.improved
Connections & Inventory
- Tackled a short-close handling bug that left a tiny residual negative balance when closing a short. The close now accounts for the exact borrowed amount plus fees, clearing the position to zero instead of a dust deficit you'd have to top up.fixed
Week 1
Cleaner short-close accounting
Connections & Inventory
- Documented and built test coverage around how short-close fees are calculated. The fee math is now spelled out and verified, so what you're charged to close a short is transparent and reproducible.improved
January 2026
Setting the year in motion
January sets the year in motion. We laid the groundwork for everything we would do later this year. A stronger Vault transactions management system, Binance margin support, our first services going live in production, real-time market data, and the day-to-day workflows you'll come in contact with on the platform.
Week 4
Vault transactions, end to end
Vaults
- Restructured the Vault transaction path into a single, staged flow. An instruction now moves through defined steps from submission to on-chain confirmation, each one tracked so that a stuck or failed trade can be traced to the exact location. improved
- Extended the platform to own the full Vault transaction lifecycle in-house. From building the transaction payload, broadcasting it, and then reading the on-chain data for confirmation. This means a trade is tracked end to end rather than handed off and assumed complete.improved
- Made BSC node setup reproducible from a single config, so we can spin up an identical Binance Smart Chain node on demand; which means the infrastructure your Vaults execute against behaves the same in testing as in production, with no environment drift.new
Week 3
Binance margin support lands
Connections & Inventory
- Unified Binance spot and margin balances into one reconciled view, rather than reading two wallets and summing them yourself. The platform now nets them per asset, so your true Binance exposure is a single figure.improved
- Fixed how BTC-denominated valuations are computed across merged spot and margin balances. This means that an asset is priced the same way regardless of which wallet type holds it. Your portfolio's BTC value no longer shifts depending on how a balance is held.improved
- Added more USDT and USDC quote pairs for Binance margin on selected assets, so you can run margin strategies in the stablecoin you prefer instead of being forced into a single quote currency.improved
Week 2
Services go live, data goes real-time
Algorithms & Services
- Promoted QSVS v2 and our non-directional service suite out of testing and into live production for selected profiles. These are strategies built to target returns without having to bet on a market direction, which aims to perform in both sideways and choppy market conditions when trend-following stalls.new
Platform, Insights & UX
- Switched last-price updates from polling our database to consuming the exchange's real-time ticker stream. Prices now update as the market ticks instead of on a delayed refresh, so the number you act on is the live number and not a few seconds stale.improved
- Added instrumentation around our market-data websockets, so when a feed drops or stalls we can see exactly which connection failed and why, meaning live-data interruptions get diagnosed and restored faster instead of silently degrading your view.improved
- Rebuilt the console and current-position views for faster, clearer reading of live state.improved
- Made the 'algorithm search' filter as you type, querying live instead of on submit, so narrowing the list to the setup you want happens in real-time.new
Week 1
Stronger strategy optimization + cleaner portfolio views
Algorithms & Services
- Refined how the optimizer validates a strategy, a larger slice of history is now withheld from tuning entirely and used only as a final out-of-sample test, so a strategy has to perform on data it has never seen before it reaches you.improved
- Added a penalty in strategy selection for "over-specialization". Results that only shine in one specific historical market condition, now score lower than those that hold up across varied conditions.improved
Platform, Insights & UX
- Standardized how portfolio data is rendered across the platform. The same layout, columns, and figures now appear everywhere a portfolio shows up.improved
- Reworked how exchange configurations are stored and edited so changing a connection's settings is a direct update rather than a fragile multi-step process.improved
- Unified leverage selection so the same control and limits apply whether you're live trading or backtesting. The leverage you test a strategy at is exactly the leverage it runs at.new
