Can I really trust an AI with my money?
Here's the reframe that matters: you don't have to trust it with your money, only with your trades. Your funds sit in a non-custodial wallet only you control. The AI can place bets with them, but it trades your money. It can never take it: it moves only by your rules, to wallets you whitelisted. Trust is replaced by architecture.
Split the question in two
“Trust an AI with my money” bundles two very different risks. Custody Could it take or lose my funds? Is closed by architecture: the wallet is non-custodial, Opusfund never takes custody, and money moves only by your rules, to wallets you whitelisted. Not a promise, a property you can verify on-chain. Judgment Will it bet well? Is the real question, and it deserves a real answer.
How judgment is held accountable
- Hard caps per-bet and total exposure limits bound what any decision can cost.
- The conviction floor weak reads never become bets.
- Sign-off the big ones wait for you, always.
- Receipts every bet and pass explained, then graded against what actually happened.
Trust the way institutions earn it
You wouldn't trust a human manager on charm either you'd want limits, transparency, and a record. That's exactly what this is: start small, read the memos, check the grades, widen the mandate as the receipts justify it. The risk that remains is market risk real, disclosed, and yours to size.
