Every "verified" number on CodeVaultEx is recorded by us from the exchange's own ledger — not typed in by the creator. Here is exactly how, and where the limits are.
Almost everywhere else, a bot's performance is a screenshot, a backtest, or a number the seller types in. All three are trivial to fake. The single question every buyer actually asks is: "is this real?" CodeVaultEx is built so the answer is provable.
A listed bot runs sealed inside an isolated sandbox on our servers, with no outbound internet except through our monitored gateway. That makes the gateway a chokepoint: every order the bot places, we observe and record — and anything a person does manually on the same exchange account, outside our platform, we do not. This is what lets us separate "the bot's trades" from "everything else on the account."
To compute results we don't trust the bot's self-report. We read the exchange's own fills and settlement records using the connected key, and compute realized profit and loss from the exchange's authoritative numbers — the same data the exchange would show in your account statement.
For each settled market or closed position, we include it in the verified record only if every fill in it came from an order our system placed. If any outside or manual trade touched that market, it is excluded — a creator cannot inject winning trades they made by hand. The math used is the venue's own settlement accounting, which reconciles to the exchange to the cent.
A number is published as verified only when the venue's accounting has been proven correct and the trades are attributable to us. Anything we cannot yet prove is shown as pending, never as a guess. The result: the platform is structurally unable to display a performance number it cannot back up.
Live-verified (the strongest) records real fills from a real connected exchange account. Paper-verified runs a bot at real market prices with estimated fees and is always clearly labeled as paper — no real money. We show losses and drawdowns too, not just wins; a record that only ever shows green is a warning sign, not a feature.
