Clearstar Labs

Clearstar Labs, a Switzerland-based technology provider specializing in quantitative DeFi strategies, has been at the forefront of developing solutions for systematic, data-driven digital asset investment operations. During the Token2049 Singapore conference in 2023, Clearstar Labs was introduced to Fordefi while exploring ways to optimize its multi-protocol trading operations. Recognizing Fordefi’s MPC wallet as a secure and scalable solution, Clearstar Labs set out to enhance its infrastructure and elevate its trading strategies.

Meeting the Demands of Quantitative DeFi Operations

Clearstar Labs faced shortcomings with their existing wallet providers, which lacked the granular transaction insights and governance features required to support their sophisticated on-chain strategies. Operating across a large number of DeFi protocols on multiple blockchains, they needed a platform designed to manage the complexities of executing institutional DeFi strategies — demanding robust policy controls, real-time monitoring, and risk management capabilities.

Fordefi’s MPC wallet emerged as the ideal solution, offering the advanced technology Clearstar Labs required to securely run their operations and streamline their workflows.

Building a Secure Foundation for Advanced DeFi Trading

To meet their operational demands, Clearstar Labs integrated Fordefi’s MPC wallet into their workflow. Fordefi’s platform equipped Clearstar with the essential tools to securely handle complex strategy and trading operations:

  • DeFi Connectivity: Fordefi’s multi-chain browser extension provided Clearstar Labs with secure access to over 90+ blockchains, enabling seamless interaction with the protocols critical to their strategies.
  • Granular Policy Controls: The platform’s policy engine allowed Clearstar Labs to implement transaction-specific rules tailored to their clients’ operational workflows. This ensured precise governance over approvals, enhancing both security and efficiency.
  • Transaction Simulation and Risk Management: With features like smart contract simulation, enriched transaction data, and real-time risk alerts, Clearstar Labs gained the tools needed to evaluate on-chain operations confidently while mitigating potential risks.

Proactive On-Chain Defense with Fordefi CARE

Clearstar Labs experienced firsthand the value of Fordefi’s Continuous Automated Response Engine (CARE) during a protocol hack. CARE facilitates the pre-recording of exit transactions that could be triggered automatically in response to real-time on-chain threats. When an alert flagged suspicious activity in a DeFi protocol where one of their clients had provided liquidity, the pre-configured CARE workflow immediately executed the exit strategy, successfully unwinding their position and safeguarding their funds.

The power of Fordefi CARE lies in its ability to integrate real-time risk detection with automated responses, empowering institutions to maintain control over their digital asset positions in rapidly evolving scenarios. From pre-recorded transactions to triggered execution, CARE ensures Clearstar Labs — and other institutional clients — are always a step ahead of potential threats.

By combining CARE’s automation capabilities with Hypernative’s risk alert system, Clearstar was able to enhance its operational resilience, demonstrating how institutions can safeguard their trading strategies while preserving liquidity.

Streamlining DeFi Operations for Long-Term Growth

Fordefi’s MPC wallet has become an integral part of Clearstar Labs’ infrastructure, empowering them with the tools necessary to scale their operations in an ever-evolving DeFi market. The platform’s advanced policy controls, enriched transaction insights, and seamless connectivity have enhanced their ability to execute complex strategies while maintaining rigorous security standards.

As Clearstar Labs continues to expand its DeFi initiatives, Fordefi remains a trusted partner, providing the infrastructure they need to navigate the complexities of institutional on-chain operations. We’re proud to support Clearstar Labs in achieving their strategic objectives and look forward to collaborating as they drive innovation in quantitative DeFi strategies.
