Company profile
researched Aug 2026LOCKON is a decentralized finance product that packages crypto exposure into on-chain index tokens. Its stated method is to analyze more than one billion wallet addresses and select those that have been profitable over the medium to long term, including through periods of market volatility, and to construct an index that mirrors those addresses. The company positions the resulting index as offering returns above bitcoin with drawdowns lower than equity benchmarks, citing figures as of 9 September 2024 for its LAI index measure of 158.92% annual profit and 14.61% annual drawdown, against 125.69% and 33.58% for BTC and 15.52% and 15.87% for NASDAQ; the site notes these represent the returns of the tracked addresses and are historical rather than guaranteed.
Users interact with the product by connecting a self-custody wallet such as MetaMask, selecting an index, choosing a payment token and issuing index tokens; assets can be withdrawn at any time. LOCKON states that it does not have authority to control user assets. The site also provides a dollar-cost-averaging calculator and displays total trading volume and total value locked. Purchase routes via centralized and decentralized exchanges and by credit card are described as planned.
Business model
Users issue and hold index tokens representing an automatically managed basket; LOCKON operates the rebalancing system and covers gas fees for the high-frequency rebalancing.
Fee schedule published on the company site: 0% issuance fee, 0.2% transaction fee and 0.5% redemption fee.
▸Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography, risks & controversies
Market position
The index composition is derived from wallet addresses with demonstrated medium- to long-term profitability rather than market capitalization or manual selection, combined with very frequent automated rebalancing and gas fees covered by the protocol.
Technology
The system analyzes over one billion wallet addresses to identify consistently profitable ones and mirrors them in an index, with automated high-frequency rebalancing stated at more than 1,550 times per month and gas costs absorbed by LOCKON. The product is delivered through smart contracts that LOCKON states have undergone multiple audits, including by Blaize, and are non-custodial, allowing deposits and withdrawals at any time.
Go-to-market
Direct self-serve access through a web application connected to a user's wallet, supported by published documentation (GitBook) and an FAQ; additional distribution via centralized and decentralized exchanges and credit-card purchase is described as forthcoming.
Retail crypto holders seeking passive, index-style exposure without active management, who transact through self-custody wallets.
Geography
Deployed on the Polygon network, with Arbitrum support stated as coming soon and additional chains planned.
Risks & controversies
The company discloses that index construction is based on historical performance data that does not guarantee future results, that transaction-frequency and drawdown values may change, and that depositing assets in smart contracts carries risk of loss. It further lists risks including loss or restricted access arising from regulatory authorities or centralized asset providers, loss of value from volatility and valuation changes, and underperformance if asset management diverges from the intended methodology.
