🐫 CAMEL v1.0 — Carry Hedge Fund

Camel runs two concurrent strategy wallets that harvest funding carry — it takes the side that collects the funding payment, on names where the crowded trade is exhausting so price doesn't fight the carry. One producer script (camel-producer.py) serves both; the CAMEL_LEG env var selects which book a given daemon is.

The edge is carry, not direction. On Hyperliquid, positive funding means longs pay shorts; negative means shorts pay longs. Camel systematically takes the collecting side of the most extreme funding, gated to crowds that are rolling over (shorts) or capitulating (longs). Funding is a recurring, structural inefficiency — income that compounds.
