- A licensed exchange or broker that wants a bot marketplace, or a partner willing to carry the regulatory work.
01Summary
GROWL applies the poker thesis to markets: machine decisions under uncertainty, scored in public. The plan pairs an exchange with a marketplace where anyone can publish a trading model priced on audited return, Sharpe ratio, drawdown and win rate.
What exists today is the interface and the plumbing around it, not a trading venue. We would rather say that plainly than let a demo pass for an exchange.
02Scope
Included
- The GROWL web interface: exchange screens, charts, a model marketplace layout, sign-in shared with the estate
- The Market Prophet page: an AI commentary service for a symbol, labelled as commentary
- growl-bot: a C++ trading daemon that paper-trades by default
Not included
- A matching engine, custody, deposits or withdrawals. None are built.
- Money-transmission, securities or commodities licensing. None is held.
- Audited bot performance. The marketplace listings on the demo are illustrative, not track records.

05Current status
As of
- trading.scarletbeast.com is up as an interface prototype. It is not an exchange: there is no order matching and no custody.
- The marketplace figures shown on the demo are sample listings, not measured returns. This plan was downgraded from "live" in this review to say so.
