Real market data, recorded October 5, 2026. Profile and firm names are illustrative.

Four desks. One console underneath.

Family offices

Run each alt-data engine as its own Autopilot profile with its own size and loss caps, alongside your existing equity book: one execution surface, one set of risk caps, one trade history you can export.

Prop trading desks

Autopilot profiles with their own position and loss caps, a kill switch and pause-all across every profile, and smart order routing that prices each order across your connected venues and picks the lowest total cost. Team workspaces and access roles are set up per deployment.

RIAs & funds

Whitelabel the console under your own name, logo and domain, pull the company insider and politician trade feeds through the API as a research sleeve, and export trade history as CSV. Audit exports for compliance are scoped with you during onboarding.

Educational institutions

University partnerships covering curriculum, capstones, faculty research access, and student analyst programmes, at no cost to partner schools.

Questions

What institutional tiers does Blockcircle offer?

Blockcircle offers three institutional tiers. Desk covers a single trading team: Pro on every seat, Autopilot profiles with a kill switch and pause-all, Slack and email alerts, and a team workspace with access roles set up for your deployment. Institution adds Smart Order Routing v2, which prices each order across your connected venues and picks the lowest total cost, a whitelabel surface, a raw-data API with webhooks, a dedicated solutions engineer and quarterly business reviews, plus a seat-level audit log scoped with your compliance team. Enterprise adds custom venue or OMS integration, a dedicated CSM, security-questionnaire support, co-marketing and a full MSA/DPA, with a self-hosted execution gateway on request. Scope and terms are agreed on a call.

How do we get started?

Book a 30-minute walkthrough or email institutional@blockcircle.com. We go through the console with your team, with no commercial pressure, and the institutional brief is sent after the call regardless.

What compliance controls are built in?

Blockcircle ships with trade-only broker credentials that cannot move funds off the user account, Fernet-encrypted credential storage, an admin / user permission split, a kill switch and pause-all with daily, per-order and per-venue caps, trade history export as CSV or JSON, authenticator-app two-factor sign-in, account and data deletion on request under GDPR and UK GDPR, broker-side 2FA on supported venues, and per-API-key IP allowlists on the Pro + API tier. The platform is hosted on ISO 27001-certified infrastructure, and SOC 2 is on our security roadmap; SAML SSO and SCIM provisioning are also on the Enterprise roadmap. A seat-level audit log with a hash-chained export and role-based access are set up per deployment and scoped with your compliance team. Customer-specific audit artefacts and questionnaires are supported during institutional onboarding.

What is Smart Order Routing v2?

SOR v2 is Blockcircle's routing engine. It prices every order across your connected venues in real time and selects the path with the lowest total cost, counting fees, slippage and, for on-chain legs, gas. It splits the order across venues when that produces a better fill than any single venue, and it stops at the cost ceiling you set. You choose which venues an order may use. Venue-priority rules beyond that, for example preferring one exchange for regulatory reasons, are scoped per deployment.

Does Blockcircle offer university partnerships?

Yes - Blockcircle runs a free academic partnership programme for accredited universities, business schools, and research institutions. The programme has three pillars: curriculum licensing (faculty get free Pro consoles for use in courses on quantitative trading, market microstructure, alt-data, and computational finance), research access (faculty researchers get raw API access to historical engine outputs for academic publication), and the student-analyst cohort with paid stipend and mentorship from professional traders.

How long is the institutional onboarding?

Institutional onboarding runs approximately seven days from signed MOU to live console. Anything built for your deployment, such as team roles or single sign-on, is scheduled with you during scoping. University partnerships run six weeks: week zero for the MOU and mutual NDA, week one for cohort sizing and faculty admin onboarding, week two for creating the cohort's accounts, week three for course materials and sample notebooks, week four for the faculty walkthrough, and week six for a live classroom.

What can we export for audit and compliance?

Every account can export its trade history from Settings as CSV or JSON, covering live broker executions, stock and DEX trades, paper trades and Autopilot executions. Autopilot executions also export as CSV on their own. A seat-level audit log covering signals, orders, fills, kill-switch events and settings changes, with a hash-chained export and a retention period you choose, is built per institutional deployment and scoped with your compliance team.
