Capabilities & Proof
The reasons to choose us are checkable.
This page states what the firm can actually do — onchain asset management and advice inside a fiduciary relationship, wirehouse-grade planning, and compliance built into the system — and links each capability to where it is documented or independently verifiable.
None of it is a performance claim. Every line is a capability or a posture, stated no more strongly than true.
Most of what a firm says about its technology has to be taken on faith. We try to do the opposite: describe the capability plainly, hedge it to exactly what is true, and point to the source. Where something is aspirational or not yet in place, we say so rather than imply otherwise.
For the shorter list of claims you can check against an outside source — the npm registry, a live server, the open-source code, the USPTO — see Verifiable Proof.
Onchain, inside a fiduciary envelope
A regulated fiduciary who can arrange custody, screen, report on, and advise around onchain assets.
Qualified custody and MPC wallets
Clients can use qualified custody (Anchorage Digital Bank). Protocol Wealth is not a qualified custodian. It is deemed to have custody because it is authorized to deduct its advisory fees from many client accounts. Onchain assets in Fordefi multi-party computation wallets are not held by a qualified custodian. Protocol Wealth does not believe that arrangement gives it custody under Rule 206(4)-2; regulators have not issued guidance on it, and a regulator could reach a different conclusion.
Read Custody & ControlSanctions and wallet screening as part of the AML program
Onchain wallets are screened for sanctions (Scorechain) as part of the firm’s anti-money-laundering program. Screening is a compliance control, not a market view.
Digital asset advisoryOnchain reporting and strategy within approved venues
The firm aggregates and reports on onchain positions and can execute options and onchain strategies (such as covered calls, collars, staking, lending, and liquidity provision) only through approved venues and within client-approved strategies. Custody pages are educational and take no market-directional position.
Qualified custodyAI in the practice
AI-accelerated analysis, with a human fiduciary accountable for every client-facing recommendation.
Humans decide; AI assists
AI surfaces observations and drafts for a human advisor; it does not classify a regime or make a recommendation. A human fiduciary remains accountable for every client-facing recommendation.
How we workZero-Data-Retention inference
AI inference on client advisory content runs under a Zero-Data-Retention agreement with Anthropic, in a US region — prompts and outputs are not used to train its models and are not otherwise retained by the provider. Under those terms, Anthropic may keep content its safety systems flag, or that the law requires it to keep, for up to two years. The disclosed AI subprocessors are listed publicly.
See the subprocessor listWirehouse-grade planning, from an independent fiduciary
Deep planning deliverables, produced by deterministic engines and delivered by a human advisor.
A full, deterministic planning suite
The firm runs deterministic planning engines across net worth, protection, estate, charitable, education, and income, producing firm-branded written deliverables and an Investment Policy Statement. These are advisor-delivered work products, not automated advice.
How we workRegime-aware scenario analysis (a planning input, not a forecast)
Scenario analysis, including regime-aware Monte Carlo, is used as an advisor-delivered planning input to frame a conversation. It is not a performance record, a projection of returns, or a promise about outcomes.
How we investRecords built to be retained
Audit records are written to a seven-year, append-only WORM (write-once, read-many) archive, designed to support books-and-records retention (SEC Rule 204-2 for the adviser). The design supports the obligation; it is not a claim that the tool itself satisfies any rule.
Security postureCompliance built into the system
Institutional onboarding and documentation, and a security program you can read about.
A modular, documented engagement stack
Onboarding runs through identity verification and an AML program, risk-tolerance assessment, a modular advisory agreement, and e-signature. The intent is institutional-grade documentation without institutional friction.
How we workISO/IEC 27001:2022-aligned — not certified
The firm maintains an ISO/IEC 27001:2022-aligned Information Security Management System, with a Statement of Applicability and a Risk Register. This is an internal control framework and diligence artifact. Protocol Wealth is not ISO 27001 certified, and does not hold a firm-level SOC 2 report today; it relies on vendor SOC 2 reports where appropriate. A formal external penetration test is planned but not yet completed.
Read the security postureA documented vendor due-diligence standard
Every third party that touches client information is vetted against a documented due-diligence and ongoing-oversight standard under SEC Regulation S-P, with the subprocessors disclosed publicly.
Vendor due diligenceAn inspectable substrate
Where we responsibly can, we build in public — so the infrastructure is inspectable, not just described.
Open-source packages on npm
Packages published under the @protocolwealthos scope live on the public npm registry (roughly twenty at last count; the registry is the live source of truth). Anyone can install and read them.
Search the npm registryAn MCP-compatible research surface
The public nexus-core site documents an MCP-over-HTTP research surface and setup path. Remote clients use the standard MCP/OAuth flow; this is compatibility with an open standard, not an integration, partnership, or endorsement of any third party.
Read the MCP setup guideDefensive patents — patent pending
The firm has filed three provisional patent applications with the USPTO, all defensive. "Patent pending" means applications are on file, not that any patent has been granted.
See the patent disclosureThe fiduciary underneath all of it
The technology is in service of an accountable fiduciary relationship — not a substitute for one.
An SEC-registered fiduciary, compensated by clients
Protocol Wealth, LLC is an SEC-registered investment adviser (CRD #335298) and does not receive commissions or third-party compensation for advice; it is compensated by client fees. Registration does not imply a particular level of skill or training.
Read the disclosuresHuman accountability, by design
Every client-facing recommendation is owned by a human fiduciary. Technology supports the process; it does not replace the person accountable for the advice.

What this page is not
- It is not a performance record, a projection, a backtest, or any statement about investment results.
- It is not a testimonial or endorsement, and it presents no client as typical.

This page describes Protocol Wealth's capabilities, systems, and posture and links to where each item is documented or can be independently verified. It is general information — not a performance record, a projection, a guarantee against any risk, a security audit, a certification, an endorsement of any third party, or legal, tax, or investment advice. Third-party sources (the npm registry, GitHub, the USPTO, and any linked server) are outside our control and are provided so you can verify our claims. All investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal; digital assets are especially volatile. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
