FAQ
Short answers to common questions, each linked to the page that covers it.
Why am I asked to sign a message?
Signing in proves you own the wallet. It is free (no gas), moves no funds, grants no approvals, and only happens when you click. You need it to see your vaults and their P&L; it lasts 2 hours.
Can TRUSS LP take my funds?
No. Only your wallet can withdraw from your vault, and you can do it at any time from LP Protocol or directly on-chain - nobody can block it. The bot can only run the vault executor’s checked operations and swap through allow-listed routers, and every swap must pass multiple maximum-loss checks, including an on-chain floor based on the pool’s recent price. You do trust the TRUSS LP owner wallet with how those checks are set: the router allow-list, each pool’s reference price and loss limits, the rebalance limits and the fee ceilings. Poor settings could cost you money over many rebalances. See What you trust the owner wallet with.
What is the $1 fee for?
It is the one-time vault creation fee, paid in USDC when the vault is created. Adding funds later doesn’t pay it again. See Fees.
How much do I need?
$100 to open a vault, plus the $1 fee. Adding funds to an existing vault starts at $10.
My vault has no position. Is something wrong?
Usually not. When no range is expected to cover its costs, the bot goes out of pool and holds the pool’s tokens. That is deliberate, not a stall. See Strategy.
How does the stop loss work?
On pools with a USDC side you can set a stop loss (a % under what you put in) and/or a trailing stop loss (a % under the vault’s highest value), from 1 to 90%. If one fires, the bot closes the position without the Manager fee (rebalances), swaps everything to USDC and waits: withdraw, or press Resume on the vault’s P&L page. Set it at deposit or later on that page, with one free signature. See Risks.
Should I choose the pool with the highest APR?
No. Look at 12–24 hours of ranking, choose pairs you are happy to hold, and ignore brief APR spikes. See Simulation.
Do you predict which token will rise?
No. Results are measured vs HODL and vs REBAL. See Benchmarks.
Why don’t I earn trading fees?
Staked Aero positions earn AERO emissions instead; the trading fees go to veAERO voters. See Fees.
What is the TRUSS VAULT?
A protocol-managed vault, run by the same bots across several pools. TRUSSV is a share of it: mint or redeem it with USDC at NAV, or trade it in the TRUSSV/WETH pool. See TRUSS VAULT.
What is the cheapest way to buy or sell TRUSSV?
Through the TRUSSV/WETH pool on the TRUSS Liq. Pool tab: you pay the pool’s 1% fee plus any price impact. Minting or redeeming at NAV with the TRUSS VAULT carries a much larger fee (currently 25% each way). See TRUSS Liq. Pool.
Can the TRUSS VAULT’s owner take its funds?
It can withdraw everything only during the launch phase, and only while everyone else together holds no more than 5% of the starting TRUSSV; USDC owed to queued redemptions always stays. But at any time the owner can replace the NAV reader, which supplies every price NAV uses, so in effect it controls how NAV is worked out - and it mints and redeems with no fee. After the launch phase, replacing the reader must wait out a public delay first. See Owner powers during the launch phase.
Who pays gas?
The manager pays the gas for all of the bot’s transactions; the Vault gas line in your vault’s P&L shows what was paid on your behalf, and none of it comes out of your vault. You pay for your own transactions: creating, adding funds, withdrawing. See Fees.
How does TRUSS LP earn?
The $1 creation fee and the Manager fee: 10% of the AERO your vault claims, plus 0.01% of what is removed from your position when the bot rebalances or exits it. No management or performance fee. The TRUSS VAULT also charges mint and redeem fees. See Fees.
How do I contact the team?
Through Discord or X, linked in the header, or the chat button once your wallet is connected.
