# Overview

> Event-driven automation runtime for financial markets and protocols.

It's an event-driven, composable runtime that models markets and protocols as deterministic streams and executes reactive backtesting-to-live workflows through reusable, environment-agnostic components.

## Your strategy, your control

A developer-first runtime with full control over execution:

* **You own the logic** - decisions are defined by your code.
* **You choose the mode** - run in `paper`, `replay`, or `live`.
* **You compose strategies** - reusable, reactive components.
* **You keep one codebase** - promote the same code from test to production.

## What you can build

With quantform, you can build:

* Systematic strategies across spot, derivatives, and multiple venues,
* Execution systems with dynamic routing based on market conditions,
* Automate workflows for portfolio, position, and risk management
* Integrate with DeFi protocols for on-chain operations and trigger-based actions
* Create real-time monitoring pipelines that detect events and respond programmatically

<Warning>
  quantform is an execution framework, not a profit guarantee. Always test in `paper` and `replay` modes before running any live strategy.
</Warning>

## What this means in practice

Quantform turns market and protocol activity into event streams, so your automation can react to data in real time with deterministic behavior in testing.

* **Works across venues and protocols** - connect centralized exchanges, DeFi protocols, and wallets in one system.
* **Real-time by default** - react when market state changes, not through slow polling loops.
* **One strategy, multiple environments** - run the same strategy in replay, paper, and live modes.
* **Built for full automation** - automate more than orders, including rebalancing and execution workflows.
