Two platforms. Purpose-built stacks.

Solana is the foundation of SpectraQ's vault platform (spectraquant.org). Its 65,000 TPS throughput and 400ms average block time allow vault agents to execute strategies at market speed, not settlement speed.

The SpectraQ vault program is built with Anchor (0.32.1), using program-derived addresses (PDAs) to hold depositor USDC and SOL — no private key, no admin override, no custodian. Every action is an atomic on-chain instruction.

Strategy logic runs inside Arcium's MXE cluster on top of Solana, keeping alpha completely private while all trade executions, NAV ticks, and signal states are verifiable on-chain. Pyth oracle feeds validate every trade for price staleness and slippage compliance.

Yellow Protocol is SpectraQ's second, entirely independent platform — separate from Solana in every way. It is Yellow's own exchange where users deposit capital into structured trading pools that track systematic strategies, similar to how someone would invest in an S&P 500 or NIFTY 50 index fund.

On Yellow's exchange, SpectraQ operates managed vaults: users choose a pool, deposit funds, and the pool rebalances according to its mandate — whether that's a equity index basket, a commodity pool, or a volatility strategy. Unlike the Solana vault platform where users retain individual control, Yellow pools are collective investment vehicles.

This product is in development. When live, it will give retail and institutional users access to systematic, quantitatively managed exposure on Yellow Protocol's exchange — with full transparency on pool composition, rebalancing rules, and historical performance.

Arcium's Multi-Party Computation environment (MXE) allows SpectraQ to run strategy logic inside a threshold-encrypted secure cluster. Price windows consumed by the strategy are encrypted to the MXE's public key — no single node, no agent, no observer ever sees the plaintext inputs.

The signal computation runs inside the MXE: data is threshold-decrypted inside the secure cluster, the strategy circuit (moving-average crossover, genetic algorithm pattern, or any future circuit) executes, and only the final signal — a single integer — is returned on-chain via a callback to the vault program.

This means quants can deploy their edge on-chain without exposing it. Investors see only the on-chain signal state and realized trade history. The strategy logic is verifiable by the MPC cluster but never exposed to any external party, preserving the quant's competitive advantage entirely.

Every vault trade on the Solana platform is validated against a Pyth oracle price feed. The vault program reads the Pyth SOL/USD price on every execute_trade instruction and computes a Pyth-derived minimum output — if the realized slippage exceeds this bound, the trade reverts entirely.

Pyth's sub-second update frequency and published confidence intervals allow the program to enforce tight price validity windows. Staleness is checked on every read — any feed older than the configured threshold causes the instruction to fail, preventing trades against stale prices.

The Pyth feed address is bound to the vault at initialization and cannot be substituted at runtime. This means an attacker cannot pass a different feed to manipulate slippage calculations — the program verifies the feed pubkey matches vault_state.sol_usd_feed_id on every single price read.
