Deposits, withdrawals and your funds (Trade)
The point
Trade is a small, capped experiment with real USDC: we hold it in a house wallet and pay withdrawals only to the wallet you signed in with.
Depositing. Press Deposit: the app builds a USDC transfer carrying a reference unique to your account; your wallet signs it. It is credited once Solana finalizes it, usually within a minute (Trade FAQ, 2026-10-19), as an entry in our ledger. Never send USDC by hand.
Withdrawing. Only to your sign-in wallet, one request at a time. You sign a free message naming the amount; the house signer sends it. It keeps its own copy of the limits, which the trading server cannot raise, and after a restart waits 151 blocks before signing (signer setting, 2026-10-19), so nothing is paid twice.
Limits (Trade settings, 2026-10-19):
- Deposits: 0.5 USDC minimum; 250 per wallet and 2,500 in total, net of withdrawals.
- Withdrawals: 0.5 to 100 USDC each, 250 per wallet per day, 1,000 per day for everyone. Past that, requests queue until 00:00 UTC.
- Positions: 100 USDC exposure.
The loss pool. Losses go in; wins are paid out. The owner seeded 300 USDC on 2026-10-13 (operations log). On 2026-10-19 it held 300.00 USDC, no queued wins, and each market's daily payout budget was 50 USDC (Trade pool). Past either, a win queues and is paid pro rata as losses arrive.
Safety rails. The ledger is reconciled against the house wallet on chain; any mismatch, even 0.000001 USDC, stops opens and withdrawals automatically. The operator can freeze every limit to zero; closes carry on. On a suspected key compromise, the house is swept to the owner's hardware wallet.
Experiment, capped: no external audit, no insurance; limits rise only after clean weeks.
