Introduction

The financial markets have traditionally been dominated by large hedge funds and institutions, where access to sophisticated financial tools and data is reserved for a select few. Citadel seeks to change this by creating a decentralized hedge fund powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) models. This approach enables data scientists worldwide to contribute, collaborate, and stake their confidence on their predictive models.

Citadel's mission is to democratize financial markets, allowing anyone with the right skills to benefit from their insights and contribute to a global, collaborative hedge fund. Citadel leverages blockchain technology to ensure transparency, accountability, and the incentivization of model creators through staking and earning its native token.
