Strategy ownership NFT

Stretus can record ownership of a strategy on-chain as a Strategy Ownership NFT - a tamper-evident, verifiable proof that a given strategy belongs to a given author at a point in time. This is an optional, advanced feature.

Availability is gated

Minting is not open to every account. Eligibility is checked per strategy before you can mint (for example, it may be limited to certain roles or verified authors). Always run the eligibility check first - if you're not eligible, the mint action won't be offered.


What it is (and isn't)

It isIt is not
A verifiable on-chain record of strategy authorshipA tradable financial instrument or a claim on profits
A way to timestamp and prove ownership of your strategyCustody of your capital - funds never touch the chain
Optional metadata about the strategyRequired to build, deploy, or publish a strategy

Your capital and trading are entirely off-chain. The NFT concerns ownership provenance only.


Connecting a wallet

Minting requires a connected Web3 wallet (e.g. MetaMask).

  1. Open Wallet connect and connect your wallet
  2. Confirm the network matches the one Stretus uses for minting
  3. Your connected address is used as the owner for eligible mints

Managing wallets & transactions

The Wallet connect screen is also where you manage your linked wallets after the first connection:

  • Link multiple wallets, switch the active one, switch network/chain, or disconnect
  • View each wallet's balance
  • Open a wallet to see its transaction history - filter by type (sent/received) and status (success/failed), and copy any transaction hash or address

This history is your on-chain activity for that address; it's separate from your trading orders and P&L (which live on the strategy pages).


Minting flow

  1. Open the strategy you want to record
  2. Run the mint eligibility check
  3. If eligible, choose Mint - Stretus seals the strategy's ownership payload and submits the mint
  4. Track progress via the mint status; once complete, the strategy shows its ownership record and on-chain metadata

Stretus handles the on-chain mechanics (including gas via a platform gas tank where applicable) - you don't need to fund the transaction yourself unless told otherwise during the flow.


Viewing ownership

Once minted, a strategy carries an on-chain ownership record you can view from the strategy, and a mint reference you can look up. Published listings from a verified, An ownership record confirms who authored the strategy and when. That is all it does.

Provenance of authorship is not a quality signal

Earlier documentation said an NFT-backed author signals "stronger provenance to potential subscribers", which invites a reader to treat a minted record as evidence about the strategy.

It is not. It establishes authorship and timing, and nothing about the strategy's merit, its risk, or its suitability for anyone. A minted record on a poor strategy is a well-attributed poor strategy.
