30-day lock
A first ticket, or money with a date on it
The company, the two products, the terms in full, what it costs and what protects you — written to be read before you commit a dollar, not after.
CarryLane builds a hedged position: buys the asset and shorts its perpetual in the same size. Price movement between the legs largely offsets; funding, basis and written premium remain — payments created by market structure. We do not predict price.
That mechanism used to sit inside a trading team. It is now a clear contract: entry from $100, a daily result shown after internal review, and a cabinet where every movement and posting is visible.
A first ticket, or money with a date on it
A quarter of patience, one step up the ladder
The middle of the ladder
The longest lock on the standard book
Capital that can sit through two option cycles
A full year, and the longest term on the board
Pick a lock — 30, 60, 90, 120 days — and $100 opens the contract; accrual begins within 1–3 business days.
The three payout strategies — Reinvest profit, Roll full position or Settle to cash — are shown on the cards below.
Changeable in the cabinet with your PIN no more than once every 7 days; what was retained while reinvesting stays in the contract until the term ends.
Carry Option is a second strategy on the same book, not a fifth lock: a defined-risk option structure is written over it each quarter. Profit accrues daily and unlocks every 90 days; the principal returns with the last unlock.
One difference from CarryLane Strategy: both earn every day, but here the daily credit unlocks every 90 days — twice across the 180-day lock — and the principal comes back with the last unlock.
Committed in full, no early exit
Profit accrues daily and comes free at each 90-day cycle's end
An indication for the calculations below, not a promise of results.
Per contract, on this strategy only
The carry book does most of the work here too. Carry Option adds a written-premium layer over the same position, so two sources work inside one contract.
At the start of each cycle the desk writes a defined-risk, delta-hedged structure on BTC and ETH — short strikes either side of the market, long wings beyond them, fully collateralised. The premium arrives on day one and is recognised across the cycle rather than all at once, so it reaches the contract the way the carry under it does: a little every day, and free to take when the cycle settles.
Long spot, short the perpetual against it, in the same size. Price risk cancels between the two legs; what is left is funding paid by the crowded side of the perpetual and the basis between the two prices, converging as the contract runs. It accrues every day, and it is what the four Strategy locks already earn.
Each cycle opens with a structure written around where the market is that morning, runs 90 days while two things accrue underneath, and settles against where the market finished. Your balance grows every day and comes free on the last. Pick one.
2 unlocks · Day 90 · Day 180
The desk sells strikes 12% either side of where the market opens the cycle and buys the wings at 20%. Collateral is posted in full. The premium is received the same day and is the cycle's known quantity — everything after this is arithmetic on a number already in the book.
The carry book pays its daily result — funding and basis — and the premium is recognised across the cycle rather than all at once. Both are credited to the contract every day from the system-calculated result, and both stay locked until the cycle closes. The desk re-hedges delta as the market moves; the strikes do not.
The structure settles against where the market actually finished. Inside the short strikes it expires worthless and the whole premium is kept; outside them it costs, and never more than the wings allow. That result lands in the accruals around it — and the whole cycle’s profit unlocks the same day, in cash or retained in the contract. The principal stays committed until the last day of the lock.
Day 90: the structure settles, cycle 02 is written the same day, and the 64 days of profit inside this one unlock — to the wallet or kept in the contract, as you chose. The principal stays committed.
What the written structure settles for at expiry — the premium kept, the wings, the worst case drawn as a curve — is on the Carry Engine with the rest of the mechanics. See the payoff, drawn.

On Carry Option, released profit is either retained in the contract or settled to cash. The figures above use the simple daily-rate calculation without reinvestment.
Nothing is deducted from your yield: a contract is credited its share in full; the platform is paid by what the strategy makes above your target. The one charge is on withdrawal — 3.00% at the first rank, 0.00% at CarryLane Prime.
Rank follows the total you have ever committed and never falls; deposits, contracts, daily credits, payouts, referral income and maturity cost nothing.
By investor rank, on withdrawals to an external wallet: 3.00% at the first rank, falling 0.30 a rank to 0.00% at CarryLane Prime. Subtracted from the amount, shown before you confirm.
Nothing is deducted from what a contract is credited — no management fee, no share of the profit. The platform is paid by what the strategy earns above your target.
Per deposit, in USDT, BTC or ETH.
$100 on CarryLane Strategy, $2,500 on Carry Option.
Judged on the amount you ask for, before the fee.
Taken when you swap one asset for another inside the wallet.
Nothing else is charged: no entry fee, no performance fee and no management fee — what a contract earns is credited in full.
Nothing below is written as a value. Each line is a mechanism in the system, visible from inside your own account — the test every one of them had to pass.
Every movement is recorded in an append-only double-entry ledger. A correction adds a linked reversing entry instead of overwriting history, so the record in your cabinet stays traceable.
System checks apply the daily result to active contracts and write the accrual to the ledger. Your cabinet shows the date and amount behind every credit.
Eligible requests pass system security checks and are sent without waiting for manual approval. The cabinet tracks each stage and shows the transaction hash after broadcast.
A new address is verified, then held for 24 hours before it can receive funds. That pause blocks instant address substitution and gives the account owner time to spot an unauthorised change.
PIN, time-based 2FA, one-time recovery codes and active-session controls protect access to the account. A password change automatically ends the other sessions.
Generate statements and CSV exports for a selected period, with operations, accruals and balances from the same ledger your cabinet shows. Use them for your records, tax return or financial adviser.
In the order somebody deciding asks them: the difference between the products first, the uncomfortable ones in the middle, the minimums last.
Same book, different layer on top. CarryLane Strategy is the carry book alone: 30–120 days, from $100. Carry Option adds a quarterly option structure: 180 or 365 days, from $2,500. Higher target, one more thing that can go wrong.
No. Capital is committed for the whole lock — no early-exit window on any CarryLane contract, no penalty schedule that would create one. If the money may be needed sooner, the 30-day lock is the shortest commitment on the board.
Daily, on both products. On CarryLane Strategy the day’s share can reach your wallet the same day; on Carry Option it is credited daily and unlocks every 90 days. Then your payout strategy applies: reinvest, roll or settle to cash.
The three payout strategiesThe carry book is hedged — spot and the short perpetual offset, so what matters is funding, not direction. The option layer is short volatility: a move through the short strikes costs the premium, then at most the wing width.
Nothing on your yield — a contract is credited its whole share of each day. Withdrawals to an external wallet: 3.00% at the first rank, falling 0.30 a rank to 0.00% at CarryLane Prime. No management, performance or entry fee anywhere.
The cost sheet, in fullA deposit of $25 or more in USDT, BTC or ETH, and then $100 to open a CarryLane Strategy contract or $2,500 for a Carry Option one. A funded contract begins accruing within 1–3 business days.
One hedged book, two ways to hold it, one ledger behind both — and the same daily result, approved by the same person, whatever the size of the ticket.
