Over the past year, almost every quantitative hedge fund and systematic macro desk has tried to ingest prediction market odds and unstructured event feeds. Almost all of them ran into the same two walls: dirty data plumbing and institutional compliance.
When a quantitative researcher pulls raw Central Limit Order Book (CLOB) probabilities from decentralized prediction venues or pipes financial news through an LLM, three failure modes invalidate the backtest before it ever reaches production:
On-Chain Wash Trading & Whale Spoofing: A single actor splitting $500,000 across 50 fresh wallets can manufacture synthetic crowd consensus, poisoning naive probability feeds.
Retroactive Lookahead Contamination: Unstructured news aggregators and filing scrapers routinely overwrite timestamps on article edits or index filings by “period of report” rather than microsecond public acceptance time (tingest).
Buy-Side Compliance & Onboarding Friction: Even when a quant desk finds alpha in an alternative dataset, the fund’s Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) will block onboarding if the vendor cannot prove Material Non-Public Information (MNPI) immunity, strict robots.txt adherence, copyright-safe factual extraction, and zero Personal Identifiable Information (PII) leakage.
Live on Neudata (Listing #5101648)
Today, Dubstrata’s Prediction Market Consensus and Causal Event Dataset is officially live on Neudata—the global alternative data scouting platform used by institutional asset managers and quantitative funds representing 60–70% of global buy-side alternative data spend.
Alongside our dataset listing, we have completed Neudata’s Risk Check and Due Diligence Questionnaire (DDQ v1.1), giving buy-side data scouts, quantitative portfolio managers, and legal/compliance teams immediate access to our provenance architecture, data dictionary, and methodological audit.
What Institutional Desks Receive
Rather than delivering noisy raw text or unverified retail odds, Dubstrata packages four orthogonal layers into a stationary, point-in-time 16-Channel Multivariate Causal Tensor (X(t) ∈ ℝ16×512) resampled at fixed 5-minute intervals:
Target asset prices stationarised via optimal fractional differentiation (d* = 0.42, rejecting unit roots at p < 0.01 while preserving >90% trend memory), paired with Yang-Zhang jump volatility, VPIN/Order Flow Imbalance, and 25-delta options skew.
Our Disjoint-Set Union (DSU) clustering engine audits underlying Polygon ERC-1155 Conditional Token Framework (CTF) smart contracts and CFTC-regulated Kalshi feeds—contracting correlated wallets (ρij > 0.85 or shared parent funding trees) into single SybilCluster vertices to compute a Clean Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHIclean), Shannon Entropy Conviction (ΨCSI), and an automated manipulation haircut (μrisk).
Sovereign regulatory filings (SEC EDGAR, US Federal Register, EUR-Lex) and public wires pass through a 4-stage hierarchical funnel and an adversarial dual-agent verification gate. Instead of redistributing copyrighted prose, Dubstrata extracts atomic factual triplets anchored to exact byte offsets [cstart, cend] to compute Friedkin-Johnsen belief equilibria, Conflict Resolution on Heterogeneous Data (CRH) impact weights, and 3072-dimensional semantic drift.
Point-in-time balance sheet solvency scores, dynamic bipartite lead-lag correlates resolved across 21 cross-asset instruments (Digital Assets, Equities, Physical Commodities, and Macro Yields), and deterministic countdown clocks (τ) to scheduled macro catalysts.
Built for Fast Compliance Sign-Off
Every design choice in the Dubstrata pipeline was engineered so compliance teams can approve onboarding as quickly as quant teams validate the signal:
Bi-Temporal Zero-Lookahead Vault: Every record is dual-stamped with Valid Time (tv) and immutable Ingestion Time (tingest), backed by RFC 3161 cryptographic timestamps and SHA-256 citation signatures. Out-of-sample gradient invariance is verified at 18.20× (well below the 60× leakage threshold).
100% Public-Domain & Zero-PII Invariant: All outputs are continuous asset-level floating-point numbers (DOUBLE). On-chain wallets are analysed strictly as unlinked mathematical capital clusters with zero off-chain personal identity mapping, overseen by our registered Information Officer (Information Regulator Certificate No. 2026-069728).
Audited Out-of-Sample Forward Edge: Across 149 rolling live out-of-sample evaluation windows on Google Cloud, the 16-channel pipeline achieved a 68.46% Directional Hit Rate at the 1-hour horizon (MCC: +0.3706, Profit Factor: 2.73×) and +19.56 bps of verified HRX deletion gain (p = 0.0001).
How to Evaluate the Dataset
