The problem

Lending on Bitfinex used to require a $99/mo bot and a leap of faith. Both can go.

01 · Discontinued

Bitfinex Pro is gone.

Bitfinex retired Margin Funding Pro. The dashboard whales relied on for the last seven years no longer exists. We rebuilt it, better.

02 · Expensive at scale

Percentage fees get heavy.

On $500K deployed at an illustrative 10% APR, a 5% earnings cut is about $2,500/year. Stratum uses flat pricing, so more upside stays with you.

03 · Hard to audit

Reports should trace back to Bitfinex.

Stratum builds earnings reports from Bitfinex funding ledger events, so credits, fees, currencies, and exports are easier to reconcile.

Strategies

Eleven strategies, backtested.

From a lazy "place all at FRR" baseline to volatility-aware adaptive spreads and rate-forecasting lockers. Every strategy backtests against real historical funding data — modeled, not a guarantee.

See all strategies
Beginner

Simple FRR

Place all capital at FRR. The lazy baseline.

Intermediate

Rate Spread

Tiered offers above and below FRR. Captures the spread.

Intermediate

Maturity Ladder

Spread loans across 2/7/14/30-day buckets.

Advanced

Adaptive Spread

Volatility-aware spread that widens when the rate gets choppy.

Advanced

Yield Curve

Lend where the funding term structure pays most.

Expert

Adaptive Carry

Locks long when the rate is high in its own recent range; stays liquid when low.

Algorithm lab

The edge is strategy selection, not bookkeeping.

Correct exports matter, but they are table stakes. Stratum's engine watches rate regimes, tenor curves, fill behavior, and idle capital, then decides when to stay liquid, ladder out, or lock a longer term.

Backtests replay real Bitfinex funding history with fee drag and fill modeling, so you can compare custom algorithms before they touch live offers. Modeled results are for strategy comparison, not return promises.

Non-custodial

We never touch your money.

Stratum connects to Bitfinex via API keys that you create with withdraw permissions disabled. Our service can read your balances and place funding offers. It cannot move your funds anywhere.

Risks we don't mitigate, and won't pretend to: Bitfinex insolvency, stablecoin depeg, strategies losing principal during black swans. Read the risk page before you start.

The hard questions

What you'd ask before sending $500K.

Is Stratum a Bitfinex margin funding bot?
Yes. Stratum is a non-custodial Bitfinex margin funding bot: it reads your funding wallet, places and cancels funding offers through scoped API keys, and keeps withdrawals disabled.
Can Stratum optimize Bitfinex margin funding offers?
Yes. Strategies can reprice offers around FRR, spread capital across rates and loan periods, lock longer terms when rates are attractive, and backtest the behavior before you go live.
Is Stratum a Bitfinex Lending Pro alternative?
Stratum is an independent automation layer for Bitfinex funding offers. It is useful when you want backtests, multiple strategies, ledger-based reporting, multi-account support, and flat pricing around Bitfinex margin funding.
What if Bitfinex goes down?
Stratum keeps running. We retry, exponentially back off, and pause your strategies cleanly. When Bitfinex returns, we resume where we stopped — no double-placements, no missed offers.
What if you go out of business?
Because Stratum is non-custodial, your funds never depend on us — they stay in your Bitfinex account the whole time. You can also export every loan, offer, and ledger entry at any time, so your records leave with you.
How is this different from Coinlend or EarnUSD?
Stratum is a Bitfinex specialist built around eleven backtested strategies you can replay on historical funding data and run in paper mode first, with ledger-correct earnings reports, US (TXF / Schedule B) and German (Anlage KAP) tax exports, and multi-account support. On price, Stratum is flat-fee — no percentage cut like Coinlend — though some bots are cheaper on raw price; we compete on strategy depth and reporting, not on being the cheapest.
What if my strategy loses money?
You're lending to margin traders; you earn interest but bear the credit risk of Bitfinex's collateral system. We don't guarantee returns. Backtests show modeled behavior on historical funding data, not a promise of future earnings.
How do you handle security?
Stratum connects through Bitfinex API keys you create with withdrawals disabled — we can read balances and place or cancel funding offers, nothing else. A third-party security audit and formal compliance reports are on our roadmap, not yet complete; we will publish them here when they are.
Do I need to KYC?
With Stratum? No. With Bitfinex? Yes — they already have you. We never see your identity; we see your API key.
Why a flat fee instead of taking a cut?
Because a 5% earnings cut means we make more when rates are high — misaligned. A flat fee means our incentive is to keep you running smoothly, forever. The bigger your portfolio, the better the deal gets.
Is this legal in [country]?
Lending crypto on Bitfinex is legal in many jurisdictions where Bitfinex itself operates, but rules and tax treatment vary. Stratum exports CSV, TurboTax TXF, German Anlage KAP, and PDF reports — talk to your accountant about your situation.
