// ABOUT · QUAZAR LABS · DESK

The desk. Eight people, one book

We are a small desk by design. Every mandate is touched by every senior. We do not have a junior trader managing your launch while a partner attends a conference.

// 01 · WHY WE EXIST

The weekly report a CFO doesn't push back on

We started Quazar Labs because we had spent a decade reading other desks' reports and deciding, week after week, that they were unreadable. Volume numbers detached from P&L. Fills logged in a spreadsheet a junior put together. Slippage hidden inside "market impact" line items. CFOs never trusted them, and they were right not to.

We thought a market-making desk could be run like an institutional sell-side trading book — net-P&L target, audit trail, weekly review, 30-day exit — and that crypto founders would prefer that to the alternative. So we built one.

We are not the cheapest. We are not the loudest. We are the desk you can hand to your auditor without rewriting anything.

// 02 · PRINCIPLES

Six principles. We will not relax any of them

P/01

Net P&L over volume.

We measure ourselves by what lands in your treasury, not by quotes posted. If a venue rewards painted volume, we will tell you and decline.

P/02

Audit trail by default.

Every quote, fill, transfer, and rebalance is logged in immutable storage. Your auditor can read it directly. Your CFO can re-derive every line.

P/03

One desk, one mandate.

We do not separate listing, market making, and OTC into different teams to upsell. One mandate covers the path from TGE to T+90.

P/04

No exclusivity traps.

30-day notice. No multi-year locks. If we are not earning the mandate every quarter, you should leave.

P/05

Compliance-aligned execution.

TWAP, VWAP, iceberg, hidden, rate-limited — under venue rules, with KYC counterparties only on the OTC side.

P/06

Boring is a feature.

A liquid, steady chart is what we are paid to build. We are not paid for excitement.

// 05 · COMPLIANCE

What we will. What we will not

Two lists. Both short. Both non-negotiable.

// WE WILL NOT
  • ×Wash trades against your community.
  • ×Pump-and-dump schedules disguised as "liquidity boost".
  • ×Quoting both sides of an OTC where we are also market maker.
  • ×Performance fees on volume — only on net P&L.
  • ×Multi-year exclusives or punitive exit clauses.
// WE WILL
  • Operate to a written net-P&L target, reviewed weekly.
  • Sign mandates KYB/KYC-checked, with audit trail per fill.
  • Coordinate quoting with marketing and listing schedules.
  • Hand any Tier-1 venue a compliance pack on request.
  • Walk away when tokenomics or counterparty look wrong.

Want the long version? 30 minutes is enough

No deck required. Bring a token, an allocation, or a flag — we will read it back to you and tell you what we would do.
