Founded by Lihong Wang & Bryan Reed

Hey everyone! 👋 Meet Lihong & Bryan, a former quant trader and a developer building Freeport Markets (https://freeportmarkets.com) to make DeFi investing more accessible for all.

❌ The Problem

Most investors’ crypto portfolios suffer from the follow issues:

  • Leaving Yield on the Table: Easy and safe 4-8% extra returns a year from staking / conservatively lending crypto assets that they already own.
  • Under-diversified: Portfolios are often just BTC/ETH, which can underperform the crypto market. (No one buys a single stock as a “portfolio”; why a single token?)
  • Paying Unnecessary Fees: Coinbase/Robinhood takes a massive cut out of yields, don’t let you lend/borrow at market rates, and have high trading fees.

Net: The best opportunities are in DeFi, but people miss out on common-sense optimization, true diversification, and lower fees, because DeFi is fragmented and confusing.

💰The Solution

  • Unify DeFi in One Place: Freeport integrates trusted protocols on one page.

  • Signal Over Noise: They separate treasure from trash with a rigorous screening framework (see below) so nothing you buy here is a scam / rugpull.

  • Yield on Resting Assets: Put idle holdings to work in battle‑tested & audited opportunities with transparent sources of return.

  • Real Diversification: Allocate across chains, sectors, and risk factors in a single, simple flow using a framework supported by rigorous statistical inference (see below)

  • No Management Fees + Lowest Trading Costs: They find the best possible path to route your order to minimize slippage and MEV (see below).

🏦Their Mission

Bring value and science-based “quantamental” investing to crypto, so people view it as the legitimate long-term asset that it is, not a day-trader’s playground. They combine rigorous screening and factor/sector diversification to filter noise and compound value over time.

⚙️Appendix: How It Works

  • Research-Backed Curation: To ensure that tokens that they support are legitimate, they operate inside only the top 250 by market cap and screen for real tradability.
  • Economic Diversification: They classify assets by their orthogonal drivers of returns: Settlement (execution/scaling vs. monetary), Infrastructure & Interoperability, DeFi/CeFi, Culture & Entertainment, DePIN & Resources, plus Stablecoins & RWA.
  • Factor Tilts: They track seven factors, market, size, value, momentum, growth, downside beta, liquidity, and prioritize momentum (best out-of-sample), with value & growth as corroborating signals; low-to-moderate correlations improve diversification.

Freeport pairs a disciplined universe + sector taxonomy with data-driven quantitative factors + human-expertise to construct recommendations and strategies that moves portfolios away from single-asset concentration toward repeatable, explainable, multi-factor returns, at freeportmarkets.com.
