Verify it yourself

You do not need an API key, an entitlement, or our word for any of it. Every Gaia sales-page number is reproducible from the keyless preview surface. Pull the raw numbers and recompute the percentages yourself with the formulas from Benchmark methodology.

1. Pull the keyless preview​

curl -s https://signals.btcalpha.com.au/v1/program/preview

This returns avg_cost_basis and, for each benchmark (dca, vwap, lump_sum, hodl), its value, advantage_bps and pct_cheaper.

2. Recompute "% cheaper" from the two raw numbers​

The only inputs are avg_cost_basis and a benchmark's value:

curl -s https://signals.btcalpha.com.au/v1/program/preview \
  | jq '{
      avg: .avg_cost_basis,
      dca:  ((1 - .avg_cost_basis / .benchmarks.dca.value)      * 100),
      vwap: ((1 - .avg_cost_basis / .benchmarks.vwap.value)     * 100),
      lump: ((1 - .avg_cost_basis / .benchmarks.lump_sum.value) * 100),
      hodl: ((1 - .avg_cost_basis / .benchmarks.hodl.value)     * 100)
    }'

Expected, against the current reference figures:

avg  = 7172.66
dca  = 53.6      (vs $15,462)
vwap = 75.1      (vs $28,819)
lump = 44.5      (vs $12,920)
hodl = 44.5      (vs $12,920)

Your recomputed values should match the pct_cheaper the API already returns for each benchmark.

3. Recompute advantage in basis points​

curl -s https://signals.btcalpha.com.au/v1/program/preview \
  | jq '((.benchmarks.dca.value - .avg_cost_basis) / .benchmarks.dca.value) * 10000'
# → 5361   (= 53.6% × 100)

advantage_bps and pct_cheaper are the same quantity in different units: advantage_bps = pct_cheaper × 100.

4. Simulate against your own equity (bounded, keyless)​

curl -s -X POST https://signals.btcalpha.com.au/v1/program/preview/simulate \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "equity_usd": 100000, "contribution_cadence_bars": 84 }' \
  | jq '{ avg: .avg_cost_basis,
          dca_pct_cheaper: ((1 - .avg_cost_basis / .benchmarks.dca.value) * 100) }'

The simulate response carries the same avg_cost_basis and benchmark table, so the identity from step 2 holds there too.

:::note If the numbers match, you have reproduced the sales page When your recomputed pct_cheaper and advantage_bps agree with what the keyless API returns, you have reproduced every published Gaia number end-to-end — from raw deployments to headline figure — with no key and no trust required. :::
