QuantConnect is a platform that helps traders develop, improve, and optimize their trading strategies. It provides traders with access to exclusive historical data, advanced technical analysis tools, and an intuitive interface so that they can thoroughly evaluate their strategies before using them in live trading. This gives traders a solid foundation for building live globally credible indices and performance dashboards via validityBase.
Turn QuantConnect Strategies into a Live Index
Publish your QuantConnect strategy as a live, verifiable index. Serving as the calculation agent, validityBase calculates the performance of your verifiably timestamped portfolio weights, and creates blockchain-backed audit trail of every rebalance.
Track Record Verification and Transparency
A validityBase track record is verifiably point-in-time, complete, and free from selective presentation, making it the gold standard in sharing investment performance. With your strategy running as a live index, you can share its performance with others using the highest standard of credibility.
Reputation and Revenue Growth
Verified strategies inspire trust, and trust drives adoption. Managers and strategy builders who showcase their track records on validityBase can present credible performance and attract allocators who might otherwise be skeptical of their results.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to “publish a strategy as a live index”?
Publishing a strategy as a live index means your QuantConnect algorithm’s live portfolio weights are continuously calculated by validityBase as the official calculation agent. Each rebalance and performance update is independently verified and anchored to a blockchain-backed audit trail.
Why use validityBase with QuantConnect?
QuantConnect helps you design and test alpha. validityBase helps you prove it — turning your backtested or live-traded strategies into verifiable, point-in-time track records that allocators can trust.
What is a “verifiable” dashboard?
Each dashboard reflects the true historical performance of your strategy, supported by a tamper-proof record of all portfolio updates. Anyone can independently confirm that the performance shown matches what was actually live at the time. Moreover, anyone can verify that your strategy wasn’t cherry-picked or selectively presented.
Can I export signals from QuantConnect directly to validityBase?
Yes. You can export signals or portfolio weights directly from your QuantConnect algorithm using the vBase integration. (See “Export QuantConnect Signals” above.)
How is performance verified?
An independently verifiable audit trail for each rebalance is stored on a public blockchain, creating an immutable proof that confirms the strategy’s portfolio and results exactly as they were when published.
Who uses these verified indices?
Quant researchers, data vendors, and strategy managers use vBase dashboards to demonstrate the credibility of their live performance to allocators, investors, or clients — without revealing proprietary code or raw data.
Do I need to share my full strategy code?
No. You retain full ownership of your IP. validityBase only records and verifies your portfolio outputs (weights, signals, and returns), not the underlying algorithm. Moreover, you can build a credible track record with validityBase while never sharing even outputs.
How does verification help my reputation or business?
Verified track records build trust. They reduce skepticism, shorten due-diligence cycles, and help serious allocators focus on strategies with transparent, credible performance histories.
Can verified indices generate revenue?
Yes. Verified strategies can be licensed, followed, or benchmarked by allocators and platforms. Transparency and credibility often translate directly into adoption and monetization.
How much does it cost to use validityBase?
For up to 100 rebalances a month, using validityBase via QuantConnect is FREE.
