Capabilities & Proof

The reasons to choose us are checkable.

This page states what the firm can actually do — onchain custody and advice inside a fiduciary relationship, an AI pipeline that keeps your identity out of the models, 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.

Custody options that stay non-custodial to the firm

Clients can use qualified custody (Anchorage Digital Bank) or client self-custody (Turnkey), where the client controls their own keys. Protocol Wealth does not take custody of client assets and does not hold client private keys. The self-custody model passed a live acceptance test before production use.

Read Custody & Control

Sanctions and wallet screening as part of the AML program

Onchain wallets are screened for sanctions and risk (Scorechain) as part of the firm’s anti-money-laundering program. Screening is a compliance control, not a market view.

Digital asset advisory

Onchain 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 custody

AI with your identity kept out of the models

AI-accelerated analysis, built so client identifiers are excluded from model calls by construction.

Client identifiers excluded before AI runs

The planning and analysis pipeline is built to exclude client identifiers from the AI models by construction, with an independent PII egress check as a backstop. The primitive that enforces it is open source, so you can read the implementation rather than take our word for it.

Verify the claim

Humans decide; AI assists

AI surfaces observations and drafts for a human advisor; it does not classify a regime, make a recommendation, or send anything on its own. A human fiduciary remains accountable for every client-facing recommendation.

How we work

Zero-Data-Retention inference

AI inference runs under an Anthropic Zero-Data-Retention agreement in a US region — prompts and outputs are not retained by the provider and are not used to train its models. The disclosed AI subprocessors are listed publicly.

See the subprocessor list

Wirehouse-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 work

Regime-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 invest

Records built to be retained

Reports and 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, and the broker-dealer WORM standard under SEC Rule 17a-4 where it applies through our broker-dealer relationship). The design supports the obligation; it is not a claim that the tool itself satisfies any rule.

Security posture

Compliance 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, each recorded to an immutable audit trail. The intent is institutional-grade documentation without institutional friction.

How we work

ISO/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 posture

A 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 diligence

An 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 registry

A live public research server

The firm’s research and scoring tools run as a public, read-only Model Context Protocol server that any MCP-compatible client can call. This is compatibility with an open standard, not an integration, partnership, or endorsement of any third party.

Defensive 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 disclosure

The 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 disclosures

Human 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.

In plain terms

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.
  • Regime-aware scenario analysis is an advisor-delivered planning input, not a forecast or a promise.
  • It is not a certification. The ISMS is ISO/IEC 27001:2022-aligned, not certified; there is no firm-level SOC 2 report today; the external penetration test is planned, not completed.
  • It is a description of the firm's systems and posture — not a personalized recommendation, an offer, or tax or legal advice.

Last updated: July 6, 2026. Protocol Wealth, LLC is an SEC-registered investment adviser (CRD #335298). See our Form ADV for authoritative regulatory disclosures. Registration does not imply a particular level of skill or training; advisory services are provided only under a signed advisory agreement.

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.
